Permitting in San Jose
Every AHJ has its own rules for where equipment can sit and how loud it can be. We pull the permit, meet San Jose's requirements, and handle the inspection. Here's what the local code actually says.
5ft
Property-line setback
San José's grading and drainage requirements often call for a french drain to carry condensate and runoff away from the outdoor unit. We install the drain as part of the job wherever the site or permit requires it.
Installed with the Redwood heat pump
Every San Jose install ships with our own variable-speed heat pump — built to drop into your furnace's footprint, run quiet, and be field-switchable between 2 and 3 tons so it's sized exactly to your home.

What Bay Area homeowners say
These guys are commercial grade crew!
My wife handles hundreds of thousands of square feet for work, and her comment about electric air was, "These guys are commercial grade crew; professional, courteous, clean, quick and efficient." I can't think of higher praise!
Brett Gentry
The team is fantastic!
The team is fantastic, from Jeremy and the informational/sales side of the house to the install crew, especially Johntae. I felt very informed at every step, equipment choices to install steps.
Dustin Gibbs
The installation team was great!
The installation team was great -- they worked through the old-house issues and managed to route the line neatly into the attic for the ceiling cassette. We worked with the designer to create a 4-zone system that is perfectly sized for our space.
