Rebates and incentives in Hillsborough
Hillsborough heat-pump-adjacent installations are eligible for BayREN Home+ — the Bay-Area-wide rebate program for heat pump HVAC, heat pump water heaters, insulation, and air sealing. See current BayREN rebates for the latest amounts. TECH Clean California adds heat-pump-specific incentives, and Peninsula Clean Energy runs additional electrification programs that change annually.

Permitting in Hillsborough
heat pump repair that involves equipment replacement, new ductwork, or major electrical work requires a permit through Town of Hillsborough Building Department. PULSE HVAC pulls every permit, files California Title-24 compliance documentation, and coordinates HERS verification (where the scope requires it) on every install. Unpermitted HVAC work shows up in real-estate inspection and can cause headaches at closing — we keep the paperwork clean from day one.
Process & lead times for Hillsborough
Hillsborough is 112 miles from our Carmichael office from our Carmichael, CA headquarters (about 1 hour 55 minutes). Our process:
- Free in-person estimate. We drive out, walk the install, ask questions, and give you a firm written quote. No trip fee. No phone-only "best guess" pricing.
- Scheduling 1–3 business days out. Once the quote is signed, we book a firm 2-hour arrival window on the next available Hillsborough route.
- Install day. Crew arrives in the morning, completes the install, commissions the system to factory spec (refrigerant charge, airflow, temperature split), and walks you through the new equipment and any utility-side enrollment paperwork.
- After the install. We file every rebate program on your behalf, register the manufacturer warranty in your name, and schedule the city permit final inspection.
