Title-24 Heat Pump Rules
California's 2025 energy code requires heat pumps as the base unit for new homes. Auburn sits in a foothill climate zone where a cold-rated heat pump is a smart pick. We file all CF1R and CF2R forms for your permit.

Why Auburn Foothills Need the Right Heat Pump
California's 2025 Title-24 code (effective January 1, 2026) sets heat pumps as the standard for new home builds. Auburn winters can drop into the 20s, so we recommend units rated to work at low outdoor temps. A heat pump that holds full output at 5 degrees F handles Auburn winter nights with ease.
The updated code also requires whole-house fresh air and stricter duct sealing. Fresh Air builds these features in from the start. We also offer milestone billing so you pay in stages tied to each phase of work, not all at once.
New Construction Hvac Auburn FAQ
Does my new Auburn home need a heat pump?
Yes. The 2025 Title-24 code sets heat pumps as the base for new single-family homes. For Auburn's colder winters, we size units that hold strong output in low temps.
What does new construction HVAC cost in Auburn?
Fresh Air prices new build HVAC at $9 to $15 per square foot. A 2,000 sq ft home runs $18,000 to $30,000 for a full ducted heat pump system with duct work and start-up.
Will a heat pump work in Auburn's cold winters?
Yes. Modern cold-rated heat pumps hold full output down to 5 degrees F and keep heating even colder. Auburn rarely sees temps that low, so a standard heat pump works well for most homes.
