HVAC for New Homes in Grass Valley

Picking the Right Unit for Grass Valley Winters
California's 2025 Title-24 code (effective January 1, 2026) requires heat pumps as the baseline for new single-family homes. Grass Valley sits above 2,400 feet. Winters can push into the teens. We spec heat pumps rated to hold full output at 5 degrees F and keep heating below that. That matters more in Grass Valley than on the valley floor.
The 2025 code also adds tighter duct sealing rules and requires whole-house fresh air. Fresh Air builds these in from day one so you do not need fixes later. Milestone billing means you pay as each phase is done rather than all up front.
