Fantastic experience replacing our outdated gas furnace and water heater with a new heat pump system. The team was professional and efficient. The best part? We saved thousands thanks to the generous rebates available. This upgrade is definitely worth it.

Cannot be happier with my new Heat pump water heater. It's been 2 weeks since I have it and it's working great! Tim did a thorough evaluation and installers performed neat work. Evan called to make sure we are all set up! Definitely use them again!

Licensed CA CSLB #1048009 | Same-Day Service Available
IRBIS HVAC services cover the full range of San Carlos homes' needs, cooling, heating, heat pumps, and water heaters - with same-day availability and Carrier-certified status. The mid-Peninsula sun and hillside terrain both shape how these systems should be sized and installed.
San Carlos summers run warm and dry, with August highs near 73°F and zero rainfall in July. IRBIS handles AC repair, maintenance, installation, and replacement.
January lows average 45°F, and hillside homes often run a few degrees cooler than downtown. A furnace sized for the flats can underperform on higher ground.
Mild year-round temperatures make heat pumps a practical choice in San Carlo. One system handles both heating and cooling. Qualifying installations may be eligible for Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE) rebates.
Repair, maintenance, and installation of traditional and heat pump water heaters for residential homes throughout San Carlos.
Alert
San Carlos logs 264 sunny days a year, well above the U.S. average of 205. July sees zero measurable rainfall, while average highs run in the low 70s°F, and afternoons can still push past 85°F on inland-influenced days. Winters stay mild, with January lows around 45°F. Hillside neighborhoods run several degrees cooler at night than the flats near El Camino Real, which changes how systems should be sized block by block.
Most of the year brings dry, clear weather with almost no humidity buffer. Filters and coils collect dust faster under these conditions, and a system running constant dry heat needs more frequent service than one in a wetter climate.
San Carlos rarely sees extreme cold, which means a heat pump covers both seasons without the efficiency penalty it would face in a harsher climate. One system replaces both a furnace and a separate AC unit.
IRBIS services every residential property type in San Carlos, from single-family ranch homes near downtown to hillside builds and condos throughout White Oaks and Devonshire.
Most San Carlos housing is single-family, spanning from 1940s ranch homes to contemporary hillside builds. IRBIS handles full system upgrades and replacements across all neighborhoods.
Laurel Street and downtown San Carlos have a growing base of condos and townhomes with shared walls and limited mechanical space. IRBIS sizes systems built for these layouts.
Many San Carlos ranch homes built before central air was standard have no ductwork in place. Ductless mini-split systems deliver full heating and cooling with no major renovation.
Newer hillside builds in San Carlos call for precise load calculation and electrification-ready systems built for California's 2030 gas equipment ban.

Most people who call us for a furnace tune-up don't know that our name means something.Irbis is the word for snow leopard — the silver-grey cat that lives high in the mountains of Central and South Asia, so rarely seen that the people who study it call it the ghost of the mountains. It's quiet, precise, and built to handle extremes. We picked the name on purpose.

A damaged sewer line used to mean one thing: heavy equipment tearing up the yard, driveway, or landscaping to get to the pipe. Trenchless repair changed that, but it's not automatically the right fit for every situation, and homeowners looking into sewer line services are often left wondering what the method actually involves, when it doesn't apply, and how the cost compares to a traditional dig.
