- 3
Insurance & rebate paperwork
We provide documentation for your insurer and file LADWP heat pump rebates when eligible.
- 4
Coordinated install
Sequenced with framing, drywall, and finish work, no delays, no reworks.
- 5
Final commissioning
Airflow balanced, refrigerant verified, IAQ tested. You move back in to a system that works the first day.
Why rebuild with a heat pump
A rebuild is the single best moment to upgrade. Walls are open, ducts are accessible, and electrical is being redone. Nice & Cool can spec an all-electric heat pump system that:
- Qualifies for up to $4,500 LADWP heat pump rebates
- Stacks with up to $2,000 in federal tax credits (IRA 25C)
- Eliminates indoor combustion and gas line replacement costs
- Pairs with solar + battery for true energy independence
- Meets current Title 24 + CALGreen requirements
- Includes built-in MERV 13 + UV-C indoor air quality from day one
Working with your team
We coordinate directly with your GC, architect, and insurance adjuster, sharing rough-in drawings, equipment cut sheets, and Title 24 compliance docs on request. One less thing for you to manage during a hard rebuild.
Let's start with a free site assessment.
