Overview
Electric Air designs and installs residential heat pump systems in the San Francisco Bay Area using in-house engineers and technicians. Homeowners submit an online questionnaire and Electric Air’s software generates a fast, transparent quote, then the team designs a tailored system and performs end-to-end installation of ducted or ductless heat pumps and heat pump water heaters. The company differentiates itself with turnkey project management, fixed-rate pricing, financing options, and help navigating rebates, all done entirely by its own staff. Its goal is to accelerate heat pump adoption, lower installation costs, and advance home electrification and decarbonization in the residential sector.
