PULSE HVAC provides scheduled HVAC appointments in Larkspur, Marin County — heat pump installation, ductless mini-split systems, AC, and indoor air quality. Dispatched from our Carmichael headquarters with batched Larkspur routes and zero trip fees. Free in-person estimates.
Larkspur is part of the North Bay / Marin sub-region of the Bay Area, in Marin County. PULSE HVAC dispatches scheduled HVAC appointments to Larkspur from our Carmichael, CA headquarters — about 99 miles and 1 hour 50 minutes from our base. We work in Larkspur on a planned-appointment model rather than same-day dispatch, so we can give every Larkspur project the time and care it deserves without the constant compromises of an emergency-truck operation.
We're upfront about how this operates. Trucks roll out of Carmichael in the morning loaded for full-day Bay Area routes; we batch Larkspur visits into efficient routing so the math works for both sides. That means:
Larkspur's wooded hillside neighborhoods (Madrone Canyon, Baltimore Park) produce cool damp microclimates while Greenbrae's flatlands run warmer in summer. Heating demand generally exceeds cooling demand in the wooded areas.
Larkspur features charming downtown craftsmen and Victorians, redwood-canyon cottages in Madrone Canyon, and mid-century homes throughout Greenbrae. Many canyon homes lack ducts; ductless mini-splits are common retrofit choices.
Larkspur is served by PG&E, with MCE Clean Energy as the generation provider for most addresses. MCE + BayREN + TECH Clean California. See current BayREN rebates for the latest amounts.
Larkspur permits include Title-24 documentation. Wooded properties sometimes trigger additional fire-zone review for outdoor equipment placement. Title-24 compliance and HERS verification on qualifying installs are filed and coordinated as part of every project — no extra paperwork on your side.
We service every Larkspur neighborhood with the same scheduled-appointment model, including Larkspur downtown, Greenbrae, Heather Gardens, Madrone Canyon, and Baltimore Park.
Call (916) 850-2221 or book online for a free in-person Larkspur estimate. We'll confirm your address is within our Bay Area service envelope, schedule a 2-hour arrival window 1–3 business days out, and bring a stocked truck so most installs can be quoted on the spot.
Larkspur appointments typically book 1–3 business days out. We dispatch from our Carmichael, CA headquarters — about 1 hour 50 minutes from Larkspur — and we batch Larkspur visits into efficient routes rather than promising same-day emergency service. When you book we give you a firm 2-hour arrival window. If your system is fully down during a heat event or cold snap, call (916) 850-2221 first — we'll be honest about whether we can fit you in or recommend a local partner who can get there faster.

We specialize in heat pump retrofits and ductless mini-split installations, and the Bay Area's mild marine climate and electrification rebate landscape align with what we do best. We charge zero trip fees, every estimate is in-person and free, and we're transparent: trucks dispatch from Carmichael in the morning so we batch North Bay / Marin visits into efficient routes. If a faster local option is the right call for your specific situation, we'll tell you.
In Larkspur we install and service air-source heat pumps, ductless mini-split systems, central air conditioning, smart thermostats, indoor air quality systems (HEPA filtration, fresh-air ventilation), and complete HVAC system replacements. We deliberately don't promote same-day emergency repair as a primary Larkspur offering — the drive from Carmichael doesn't support that model — so we focus on the planned-replacement and retrofit work where the value math works for both sides.
Costs vary based on system size, condition, and scope. Larkspur estimates are free, in-person, with no trip charge — we drive out so you can ask questions and we can see the actual install conditions. Every quote is firm and itemized. Financing is available for larger replacement projects, and we identify every applicable PG&E / MCE Clean Energy rebate so you see the after-rebate net cost.
Same-day HVAC service available — free estimates on all repairs and installs.
