Homes in Palo Alto
The Homes We Work On
Palo Alto's Eichler tracts in Greenmeadow, Green Gables, and Fairmeadow were built on radiant-heated concrete slabs with no ductwork at all, which makes a ductless heat pump the standard way to add cooling without breaking the slab. Older Professorville and Old Palo Alto homes often still have original, aging electrical service, so a heat pump conversion sometimes needs a panel upgrade first — something we flag during the estimate, not after the install.
Climate & Sizing
The Palo Alto Baylands stay cool and breezy most of the summer, while the Palo Alto Hills and inland neighborhoods run noticeably warmer and drier. We size Eichler and slab-home systems around the whole-house radiant load, not just square footage.
Rebates & Permits in Palo Alto
Utility & Rebates
City of Palo Alto Utilities (CPAU) supplies both electricity and natural gas in Palo Alto — one of the few cities in California with its own full municipal gas utility. We check current CPAU rebates at your free estimate; we never promise a dollar amount up front.
Permits & Inspections
The City of Palo Alto's Development Services Department requires a mechanical permit and HERS testing for HVAC changeouts. We pull the permit and coordinate CPAU and city inspections.
