Brentwood, Contra Costa County
Heating and air conditioning in Brentwood
Brentwood is one of the newest and hottest cities in our area, with mostly 1990s-and-later homes and long, hot summers.
Homes in Brentwood
Most of Brentwood was built from the 1990s onward: larger two-story homes, active-adult communities, and newer subdivisions. Systems here are often 15 to 25 years old and sized by builders using rules of thumb. Many homes have two systems or zoning for upstairs and downstairs.
Climate and what it means for your system
Brentwood has some of the highest summer temperatures in the Bay Area, and cooling season runs long. Winters are cool and can be foggy in the Delta, but heating demand is modest compared with cooling.
Most of Brentwood falls in California Title 24 climate zone 12. The exact zone is set by ZIP code, and we confirm it for your address when we design a system.
Utilities
PG&E supplies natural gas and delivers electricity. Check your bill to see whether your electricity generation comes from PG&E or a community choice program. Rates differ, and that affects the operating cost of a heat pump compared with a gas furnace.
Permits
HVAC permits in Brentwood are issued by the City of Brentwood. Newer homes may also have HOA rules for equipment placement.
