Fresno’s mild winters make heat pumps a genuine option
Heat pumps move heat rather than generate it — pulling warmth from outside air in winter and pushing it back outside in summer, using the same equipment for both jobs. They lose efficiency in genuinely cold climates, but Fresno’s winters rarely get cold enough for that to be a practical drawback, which is why heat pumps are a realistic alternative here, not just an option that sounds good on paper.
One system, two seasons
No separate furnace and AC to maintain, repair, and eventually replace on two different timelines — one system handles both.
All-electric, no gas line needed
A heat pump runs entirely on electricity, which matters for all-electric homes, ADUs, or anywhere running a new gas line isn’t practical.
Efficient in Fresno’s climate
Heat pumps struggle in genuinely cold regions, but Fresno’s mild winters keep the technology efficient here for most of the heating season.
The same Manual J calculation, either direction
A heat pump needs to be sized correctly for both its heating and cooling duty — an undersized system struggles on the coldest nights of the year, while an oversized one short-cycles and wears out early. We run a real load calculation before recommending equipment, accounting for your home’s square footage, insulation, and existing ductwork, the same standard we hold for any new system installation.
What Fresno homeowners say
4.8 stars across 1,200+ verified Google reviews — Fresno, Clovis, Madera, Sanger, Selma, and surrounding Fresno County cities.
Our old unit was on its last leg — Grandmark showed us the numbers on video and it was clear repair wasn’t worth it anymore. New system installed same week, no pressure the whole time.
They replaced our AC and sealed the ducts at the same time. Didn’t know that was even possible with one company. House is cooler than it’s been in years and I have video proof of every step.
Three companies gave me quotes without even looking at the system. Grandmark ran a diagnostic and found the real issue. Saved me over $2,000 and my system has been perfect ever since.

Heat pump FAQ
Do heat pumps actually work in the winter?
Yes, for Fresno specifically. Heat pumps lose efficiency in genuinely cold climates, but Fresno’s winters rarely get cold enough for that to be a practical issue for most homes.
Is a heat pump cheaper to run than a gas furnace?
It depends on your local electricity and gas rates, but heat pumps are generally efficient for moderate climates like Fresno’s. We can walk through the comparison for your specific situation during your estimate.
Can a heat pump replace my central AC too?
Yes — that’s the point. A single heat pump system handles both heating and cooling, replacing the need for a separate furnace and AC unit.
Do heat pumps qualify for rebates?
Sometimes, depending on current program funding — rebate programs change often. See our energy efficiency & rebates page → for how we check current eligibility rather than quoting outdated numbers.
Is a ductless mini-split the same as a heat pump?
A ductless mini-split is a type of heat pump, built for a specific room or space rather than a whole home. See our ductless mini-split page → for details on that specific application.
