Heat Pump Installation, Replacement, Repair & Maintenance

Berkeley, Oakland & the East Bay

If you are looking for an energy-efficient way to heat and cool your home, a heat pump may be the ideal solution. Aarvaks Heating & Air Conditioning provides expert heat pump installation, replacement, repair, and maintenance for homeowners in Berkeley, Oakland, Piedmont, El Cerrito, Richmond, and surrounding East Bay communities. As a family-owned company serving the East Bay since 1929, we take pride in helping our customers choose comfort systems that deliver reliable performance, long-term value, and year-round indoor comfort.

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular choice for Bay Area homes because they provide both heating and cooling in one system. Instead of generating heat the way a furnace does, a heat pump transfers heat between the indoors and outdoors, making it an efficient and environmentally friendly option for our moderate East Bay climate. Whether you are replacing an aging furnace and air conditioner or planning a high-efficiency upgrade for your home, Aarvaks can design a solution tailored to your space, comfort goals, and budget.

Why Heat Pumps Are a Great Fit for East Bay Homes

Our climate makes heat pumps especially appealing in Berkeley, Oakland, and surrounding East Bay neighborhoods. Because winters are generally mild and summers are warm but not extreme compared with other parts of California, heat pumps can operate very efficiently for much of the year. Aarvaks already highlights electric air-source heat pumps as a strong match for the East Bay’s moderate climate, and for many homeowners, that efficiency can translate into lower utility costs and reduced carbon emissions.

A professionally designed heat pump system can also deliver quiet operation, dependable year-round comfort, and better temperature control. Today’s systems are a smart choice for homeowners who want to modernize their HVAC equipment, improve energy efficiency, and move toward a more electric home without giving up dependable heating on cooler nights.

Our Heat Pump Services:

Heat Pump Installation & Replacement

If your current furnace and air conditioner are outdated, inefficient, or requiring frequent repairs, Aarvaks can help you upgrade to a new heat pump system that better fits your home and lifestyle. We take the time to evaluate your existing equipment, home layout, insulation levels, ductwork, and comfort preferences so we can recommend the right system for your needs.

Our team installs quality heat pump systems designed for dependable performance, energy efficiency, and lasting comfort. Whether you are interested in a central ducted heat pump or a ductless mini-split solution, we will make sure your system is properly sized and professionally installed for the best possible results.

Heat Pump Repair

If your heat pump is not heating or cooling the way it should, making unusual noises, cycling too often, or causing your energy bills to rise unexpectedly, Aarvaks can diagnose the issue and provide the repair you need. Our experienced technicians service and repair heat pump systems with a focus on quality workmanship and honest recommendations.

Because heat pumps run year-round, prompt repairs are especially important. Addressing performance issues early can help prevent larger problems, protect efficiency, and restore your home comfort as quickly as possible.

Heat Pump Maintenance

Regular maintenance is one of the best ways to protect your heat pump investment. Since the same system handles both heating and cooling, it experiences year-round use and benefits from routine inspection, cleaning, and tune-ups. Aarvaks provides professional maintenance services to help keep your system operating efficiently, safely, and reliably.

During maintenance, our technicians inspect critical components, check electrical connections, verify system operation, and identify signs of wear before they turn into costly breakdowns. Preventive service can help extend the life of your equipment, support better indoor comfort, and keep your heat pump performing at its best.

Ducted & Ductless Heat Pump Options

Aarvaks offers solutions for a wide range of homes and comfort needs throughout the East Bay.

Ducted Heat Pumps

Ducted air-source heat pumps are a great option for homeowners who want whole-home heating and cooling through existing ductwork. These systems can replace a conventional furnace and air conditioner while delivering efficient, all-electric comfort.

Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pumps

Ductless heat pumps are ideal for homes without existing ducts, room additions, converted garages, upstairs spaces, or areas that are harder to keep comfortable. They offer flexible zoning, quiet operation, and efficient comfort without the need for major ductwork modifications. Aarvaks already presents ductless mini-splits as a simple, fast-install comfort solution for rooms or spaces that are warmer or cooler than the rest of the home.

Sean F., Berkeley
Aarvaks recently replaced an original Aarvaks furnace which had been installed in my house in the 1930's. The new installation went smoothly. I found Jeff and his crew to be knowlegeable, honest and easy to work with. The cost, including asbestos removal, was reasonable and I look forward to lower energy bills this winter and for more winters to come. We are happy with our new unit . . .

Cheryl M., Berkeley, CA Via
