Heat Pump Water Heater and Pool Heater Installation

We install all brands of heat pump water heaters. Our licensing in Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC, and General Contracting allows us to run new dedicated electrical lines, cap old gas lines, and install upgraded main panels if necessary. We can pull required permits, or you may do so as an owner-builder. Our proper licensing and insurance ensure you are eligible for applicable rebates. For rebate information, visit: https://forthepro.bradfordwhite.com/product-rebates-tax-credits/ With gas water heater phase-outs anticipated, upgrading now can help avoid higher future costs.

Whole House Fan Installation

We install all brands of whole house fans. Our installations feature rebate-ready ECM motors, which are 30% more efficient than standard models. As a properly licensed contractor, we can add necessary roof vents, dormers, or gables to ensure optimal fan performance. Options include wall controls, remote controls, and single or multiple speed units.

CAL/OSHA Compliant Active Cooling Solutions

We provide cooling solutions for compliance with indoor heat standards, including: warehouse cooling with fans and evaporative coolers; kitchen cooling and exhaust hood repair/upgrade; office cooling with heat pumps and multi-stage units; water coolers and fountains; portable evaporative coolers; and exhaust fans with capacities up to 75,000 CFM.

The Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board has adopted an indoor heat standard to protect workers. The regulation requires indoor workplaces to be cooled below 87 degrees Fahrenheit when employees are present, and below 82 degrees in areas with restrictive protective clothing or high radiant heat. While Cal/OSHA develops industry-specific rules for correctional facilities, interim enforcement uses existing regulations such as the Injury and Illness Prevention Program and Water Supply standards.
