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 rooftop units, bring matched systems and controls into the scope discussion. A failed component may justify repair; repeated faults or a major failure can justify a scoped replacement comparison. Include building interfaces and access costs so proposals cover more than the rooftop cabinet.
