Confirm the equipment pairing and electric territory
Folsom heat-pump planning starts with the electric account and exact property address. Use SMUD's territory lookup to confirm service before applying its residential incentives; a city name or ZIP code alone is not an eligibility decision.
For rooms that warm unevenly, compare duct delivery and thermostat behavior before increasing capacity. If a variable-speed system is proposed, ask how the indoor unit, outdoor unit and controls will work together at partial output.
For ductless mini-splits, bring matched systems and controls into the scope discussion. Compare a dedicated system for the problem room with modifications to existing central ducts. For multi-zone proposals, ask what happens when only one small room needs conditioning and how the controls coordinate operation.
