Sugar Bear Home Services has been handling HVAC installations for San Leandro homeowners who are tired of dealing with unreliable contractors and systems that break down every few months.

We’re licensed, insured, and focused on getting your installation right the first time. No shortcuts, no surprises, and no leaving you with a system that’ll cause problems down the road.

Heat Pump Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Installation

We start with an assessment of your home’s heating and cooling needs. This isn’t a quick walk-through – we’re looking at your home’s size, insulation, existing electrical setup, and how you actually use your space.

You get a detailed estimate that breaks down equipment costs, labor, and any electrical work needed. No vague “it depends” pricing that changes when we show up to do the work.

Installation typically takes one to two days depending on whether you’re going with a ducted or ductless system. We handle all permits, electrical connections, and testing to make sure everything works properly before we consider the job done.

Complete Heat Pump Installation

What's Included in Your Installation

You get the heat pump system, all necessary electrical work, permits, and a full system startup and testing. We don’t hand you a bill for “extras” that should have been included from the beginning.

For ductless installations, we handle the mounting, refrigerant lines, and electrical connections. If you’re adding ducted systems, we’ll assess your existing ductwork and let you know if modifications are needed.

Every installation includes a walkthrough of your new system’s operation and maintenance requirements. You’ll know how to use your new controls and what to expect from your system’s performance throughout the year.

How much does heat pump installation cost in San Leandro?

Heat pump installation typically ranges from $3,500 to $8,000 depending on the type of system and your home’s specific requirements. Ductless mini-split systems usually cost less than full ducted heat pump systems because there’s no ductwork involved. The size of your home, electrical upgrades needed, and the efficiency rating you choose all affect the final cost. We provide detailed estimates that break down equipment and labor costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for before we start work.

Do heat pumps work well in San Leandro's climate?

Heat pumps are actually ideal for San Leandro’s Mediterranean climate. They work efficiently in our mild winters and provide excellent cooling during summer months. Modern heat pumps operate effectively in temperatures down to about 25°F, and San Leandro rarely gets that cold. You’ll get reliable heating and cooling year-round while using significantly less energy than traditional furnace and air conditioning combinations. The consistent temperatures we experience here mean your heat pump won’t have to work as hard as it would in more extreme climates.

How long does heat pump installation take?

Most heat pump installations take one to two days to complete. Ductless mini-split systems are usually faster – often finished in a single day – because we don’t need to modify existing ductwork. Ducted heat pump systems may take longer if electrical upgrades are needed or if we need to make ductwork modifications. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your estimate so you can plan accordingly. The actual installation time depends on your home’s specific requirements, but we don’t drag jobs out unnecessarily.

What's the difference between ductless and ducted heat pump installation?

Ductless systems use individual units mounted on walls or ceilings in each room, connected to an outdoor unit by refrigerant lines. They’re perfect if you don’t have existing ductwork or want zone control for different areas. Ducted systems work with your existing ductwork to heat and cool your entire home from a central unit. Ductless installation is typically faster and less expensive, while ducted systems provide more uniform temperature control throughout your home. Your home’s layout and existing HVAC setup will determine which option works best for your situation.

Are there rebates available for heat pump installation?

Yes, PG&E offers rebates for qualifying energy-efficient heat pump installations, and you may also be eligible for federal tax credits. Rebate amounts vary based on the system’s efficiency rating and type. We stay current on available incentives and can help you understand which programs apply to your installation. These rebates can significantly reduce your upfront costs, making heat pump installation more affordable. We’ll provide information about available rebates during your estimate and can help with the paperwork if needed.

Do you handle permits and electrical work for heat pump installation?

Yes, we handle all permits required for heat pump installation in San Leandro and coordinate any electrical work needed. Most heat pump installations require electrical upgrades, especially if you’re replacing an old furnace that didn’t need as much power. We work with licensed electricians to ensure your electrical system can handle your new heat pump safely. All electrical work is done to code and inspected as required. You don’t need to coordinate between different contractors – we manage the entire process from permits to final inspection.
