Why Heat Pumps Are Required for New Homes
California's 2025 energy code (Title-24) took effect January 1, 2026. It sets heat pumps as the base system for new single-family homes. A heat pump moves heat rather than burning fuel, so it uses far less power. In climate zone 12 (Sacramento), a heat pump can deliver three to four units of heat per unit of power used.
The new code also requires third-party verification of refrigerant charge in all 16 climate zones. Fresh Air is certified for this check. We file the CF2R field form so your inspector can sign off fast. Milestone billing means you pay in stages as work is done, not all at once.
New Construction Hvac Carmichael FAQ
Does my new Carmichael home need a heat pump?
Yes. The 2025 Title-24 code sets heat pumps as the default for new single-family homes. Your plans must show a compliant unit or offset the energy budget another way.
What does new construction HVAC cost per square foot?
Fresh Air prices new build HVAC at $9 to $15 per square foot installed. The final cost depends on duct complexity, unit size, and any extras like a whole-home air filter.
How long does an HVAC install take on a new build?
Most new construction setups take two to three days for rough-in and one more day for trim-out. We coordinate with your GC to keep the project on track.
Is Fresh Air licensed to do Title-24 installs?
Yes. Fresh Air holds CSLB license 945361 and is fully insured. We have handled Title-24 compliance on new builds across the Sacramento Valley since 2009.
