The short answer
A heat pump heats and cools your Glendale home with one electric system, and it fits the area's hot inland summers and mild winters well. AllPro HVAC Services sizes and installs heat pumps throughout Glendale and confirms which utility rebates apply to your specific address before quoting.
If you're replacing an aging furnace, adding cooling to a home that never had it, or swapping out a worn-out air conditioner, a heat pump can handle both heating and cooling with one electric system. AllPro HVAC Services installs heat pumps for homeowners across Glendale, about 7 miles north of our Los Angeles base. We size the system to your house, explain your options plainly, and check which rebates actually apply to your address before we put numbers in front of you.
Why Heat Pumps Make Sense for Glendale Homes
Los Angeles has a Mediterranean climate: dry summers and mild winters. Inland areas like Glendale run noticeably hotter in summer than neighborhoods near the coast, and fall Santa Ana winds can bring stretches of hot, dry weather well after summer should be over. That means your cooling system works hard for a good part of the year, while winter heating needs are relatively light.
A heat pump suits that pattern. In summer it works like a central air conditioner, moving heat out of the house. In winter it reverses and moves heat in. Because our winters are mild, a properly sized heat pump can usually keep a Glendale home comfortable without a separate gas furnace.
Replacing a Gas Furnace? Know the Local Rules
Many Glendale homes still heat with a natural-gas central furnace. If yours is near the end of its life, it's worth knowing that South Coast AQMD Rule 1111 limits NOx emissions from natural-gas fan-type central furnaces sold and installed in the Los Angeles region. The district has been amending the rule toward zero-emission requirements, and it sets and revises the compliance dates.
Before you commit to a like-for-like furnace swap, check where the rule currently stands. For many homeowners, moving to a heat pump now avoids a second decision later. We'll walk you through both paths so you can choose with the current rule in mind.
What Our Installation Process Looks Like
A heat pump only performs well if it's matched to the house and installed carefully. Here's how we approach a Glendale installation:
- Home assessment: we look at square footage, insulation, windows, sun exposure, and how your current system has been performing.
- Load calculation: we size the system to your home's actual heating and cooling needs instead of guessing from the old unit's size.
- Ductwork check: we inspect existing ducts for leaks, damage, and sizing problems, or discuss ductless mini-split options for homes without ducts.
- Electrical review: we confirm your panel and circuits can support the new equipment and tell you up front if upgrades are needed.
- Installation: we place the outdoor unit, set the indoor equipment, connect refrigerant lines, and mount a compatible thermostat.
- Startup and walkthrough: we test heating and cooling modes, check airflow, and show you how to use the system and when to change filters.
Rebates and Incentives: What Applies in Glendale
Rebates for heat pumps depend on which utility serves your address. LADWP residential electric customers can apply for Consumer Rebate Program rebates on qualifying heat pump systems, with the amount based on the unit's SEER2 and HSPF2 ratings. That application is filed after the equipment is purchased and installed, within 12 months of purchase. Many homes outside the City of Los Angeles are served by a different utility, though, so the LADWP program may not apply to you.
Because of that, we confirm the current offer for your specific address before we quote it. We'd rather give you an accurate picture than promise savings that don't apply.
One more note: the federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C) covered qualifying heat pumps placed in service before December 31, 2025. It is not available for new installations after that date, so don't plan your budget around it.
