Your energy bills drop. That’s the bottom line with a properly installed heat pump system.
You’ll see the difference in your first utility bill – many San Francisco homeowners cut their heating and cooling costs by 40-50% compared to their old systems. Heat pumps work by moving heat rather than creating it, which means they use a fraction of the electricity.
But the savings go beyond your monthly bills. You get consistent temperatures throughout your home, even when the fog rolls in and your neighborhood drops 15 degrees. No more layering up indoors or cranking up a system that struggles to keep up with San Francisco’s unique climate challenges.
Modern heat pumps also mean cleaner air in your home. The advanced filtration systems remove allergens and pollutants – something that matters when you’re dealing with urban air quality. Plus, you’re investing in a system that typically lasts 15-20 years with proper maintenance.
We’ve been installing heat pumps throughout San Francisco for years. We understand the unique challenges of working in SF homes – from navigating narrow Victorian hallways to dealing with the city’s strict permitting requirements.
Our team holds all required California licenses and stays current on San Francisco building codes. We handle the permit process, coordinate inspections, and ensure your installation meets all local requirements.
Most importantly, we know how San Francisco’s microclimates affect your home’s heating and cooling needs. A system that works in the Mission might not be right for the Sunset, and we size and configure your heat pump accordingly.
We start with an in-home assessment to determine the right system size and type for your space. This isn’t a quick walk-through – we measure your home, assess your current setup, and discuss your comfort preferences and budget.
Next, we provide a detailed estimate that breaks down equipment costs, labor, permits, and timeline. No surprises or hidden fees. If you’re replacing an existing system, we’ll explain what that involves and how we’ll minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Installation day starts with protecting your floors and belongings. For ductless systems, we typically complete most installations in one day. Traditional ducted heat pumps may take 1-2 days depending on your home’s setup. We handle all electrical connections, refrigerant lines, and system testing before we leave.
After installation, we walk you through your new system’s operation and maintenance requirements. We also handle the final inspection and provide you with all warranty information and service contacts.

Every heat pump installation includes proper sizing calculations, electrical work, refrigerant line installation, and system commissioning. We don’t cut corners on the details that affect your system’s performance and longevity.
For ductless heat pump installations, we mount indoor units at optimal locations for air circulation and aesthetics. The outdoor unit gets positioned to minimize noise while maintaining easy access for future maintenance. All refrigerant lines are properly insulated and concealed where possible.
If you’re adding ductwork or modifying existing ducts, we ensure proper airflow and sealing. Leaky ducts can reduce your system’s efficiency by 20-30%, so we test and seal all connections. We also upgrade electrical panels when necessary to handle your new system’s requirements safely.
San Francisco’s permitting process can be complex, but we handle all applications and coordinate inspections. We know which installations require permits and ensure everything meets current energy codes – this protects you and ensures you can take advantage of available rebates and tax credits.
