Boulevard FAQs

What do Boulevard homeowners ask?

My Boulevard home has propane heat, should I switch to a heat pump?

Almost always yes, with cold-climate-rated equipment. Cold-climate variable-speed heat pumps deliver heating at roughly half to one-third the cost per BTU compared to propane.

Boulevard has severe PSPS risk, how do I keep heat pump running during outages?

Battery backup paired with the heat pump is the working standard. Typical setups pair 20 to 40 kWh battery with a cold-climate inverter heat pump, providing 12 to 36 hours of continuous heat pump operation.

How hot does Boulevard get in summer?

Summer afternoons in Boulevard routinely run 92 to 102 degrees, with peak heat waves sometimes pushing 108. Equipment must be sized correctly with Manual J load calculation.

How long does it take to get to Boulevard for service?
