Serving Clayton
We serve every part of Clayton, including Dana Hills, Clayton Wood, Oakhurst and Cardinet Glen - it's about 17 miles southwest via SR-4 and Kirker Pass Road from our Antioch shop. Clayton contracts with Contra Costa County for building permits: applications start with the city, the County plan-checks, issues and inspects, and contractors need a Clayton business license first. A heat pump makes the most sense in Clayton when an aging AC and furnace are both due, since one system replaces both. Many statewide heat pump rebates are closed for 2026, so when we quote we check what's still open for your address, such as PG&E's current programs and BayREN's income-qualified EASE Home program.

Questions before you call
Is a heat pump worth it in Clayton?
Hot summers and mild winters suit heat pumps well. One system handles cooling and heating, and the Bay Area Air District's zero-NOx standard for new furnaces, scheduled for 2029, is pushing new installs toward heat pumps.
Will I need an electrical panel upgrade for a heat pump?
Sometimes. Many homes can add a heat pump on the existing panel; older 100-amp panels may need an upgrade. We check during the quote visit so there are no surprises.
Are there heat pump rebates in Clayton?
Some, but fewer than before. TECH Clean California and California's HEEHRA heat pump rebates are fully reserved, and the federal 25C tax credit ended for systems installed after 2025. What's left for Clayton homes is mainly PG&E's current programs and BayREN's income-qualified EASE Home program. Programs change often, so we check what's open for your address when we quote.
