Heat pump installation, powered smarter.
We coordinate high-efficiency heat pump installation and AC replacement for Orange County homes — through licensed HVAC partners — pairing electrified comfort with the solar and battery systems we already install across Southern California.
Imagery is illustrative. OC Solar self-performs solar + battery; HVAC / heat pumps are coordinated through licensed HVAC partners — ask us what's available for your home. OC Solar does not issue an HVAC license or HVAC warranty.

Heat pumps, in detail
One electric system for heating and cooling
A heat pump replaces both your gas furnace and your AC with a single efficient electric system — and it runs beautifully on solar. Here's how the options compare.

- All-electric — replaces gas furnace + AC
- A heat pump heats AND cools with one electric system — no separate furnace and AC.
- Run heating and cooling on free daytime solar instead of gas or peak-rate grid power.
- Pair with a battery to shift HVAC runtime into stored solar and off expensive peak hours.
- Mini-split zoning conditions only the rooms you use, for precise comfort and lower bills.
Why pair HVAC with solar
Heating and cooling can be more than half your electric bill. Putting an efficient heat pump on a solar-plus-battery system means your biggest energy load runs on power you generate — the core of a truly electrified home. And if you're already facing an AC replacement, that's the natural moment to step up to a heat pump: one system replaces both the AC and the gas furnace.
- Run your largest load on your own solar
- Replace gas furnace + AC with one system
- Shift runtime to stored solar with a battery
