California's updated Title-24 code took effect January 1, 2026. New single-family homes must use heat pumps as the baseline heating and cooling unit. A heat pump moves heat from outside air into your home rather than burning gas, so it uses less power. In Sacramento's climate zone 12, a properly sized heat pump delivers strong heat even when nights drop into the 30s.
The 2025 code also adds whole-house fresh air rules and tighter duct sealing standards. Fresh Air designs ducts to meet these from day one so you do not need costly fixes later. We bill in milestones tied to each phase, so you are never paying far ahead of the work done.
