Heat Pump Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess your home’s heating and cooling needs. This includes measuring square footage, checking insulation, evaluating your current ductwork, and understanding your comfort preferences. No guesswork.

Next, we provide a detailed estimate that breaks down equipment costs, labor, and any additional work needed. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.

Installation typically takes one to two days depending on your system type. For ductless heat pumps, we mount the indoor units and connect them to the outdoor condenser. For ducted systems, we integrate with your existing ductwork or install new ducts if needed.

We test everything thoroughly before we leave. You’ll see how to operate your new system, understand the warranty coverage, and have our contact information for any questions that come up later.

How much does heat pump installation cost in South San Francisco?

Heat pump installation costs typically range from $8,000 to $15,000 depending on system type and home size. Ductless systems often cost less because they don’t require ductwork modifications. Ducted heat pumps may cost more if your existing ducts need upgrades. The good news is that federal tax credits and local utility rebates can offset a significant portion of the cost. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
Heat pumps are actually ideal for South San Francisco’s mild Mediterranean climate. They work efficiently in temperatures down to about 25°F, and our winter lows rarely drop below 40°F. This means your heat pump will operate at peak efficiency year-round. Unlike areas with harsh winters where backup heating is often needed, South San Francisco’s moderate temperatures allow heat pumps to handle 100% of your heating and cooling needs. The consistent performance translates to maximum energy savings and comfort.
Most heat pump installations take one to two days. Ductless systems are typically faster since we only need to mount indoor units and connect refrigerant lines to the outdoor condenser. Ducted systems may take longer if we need to modify existing ductwork or install new ducts. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the estimate process based on your specific situation. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine while ensuring everything is installed correctly and safely.
Ductless heat pumps mount directly on your walls and don’t require ductwork. They’re perfect for homes without existing ducts, room additions, or creating separate temperature zones. Each indoor unit can be controlled independently, giving you precise comfort control. Ducted heat pumps work with your existing ductwork to heat and cool your entire home through one central system. They’re ideal if you already have ducts in good condition and prefer the traditional whole-house approach. Both types deliver excellent efficiency and comfort.
Not necessarily. We evaluate your existing ductwork during the assessment to determine if it’s compatible with heat pump installation. If your ducts are properly sized and in good condition, we can often use them as-is. However, if your ducts are undersized, leaky, or poorly insulated, we may recommend modifications to ensure optimal performance. Sometimes upgrading ductwork actually improves overall system efficiency and comfort. We’ll explain any recommended ductwork changes and why they’re beneficial before proceeding with installation.
Heat pumps require minimal maintenance compared to traditional HVAC systems. You’ll need to change or clean filters regularly, typically every 1-3 months depending on usage and filter type. The outdoor unit should be kept clear of debris, leaves, and vegetation. Annual professional maintenance includes checking refrigerant levels, cleaning coils, inspecting electrical connections, and ensuring all components operate efficiently. This preventive maintenance helps your system run efficiently and extends its lifespan. We offer maintenance plans that take care of these requirements automatically, so you don’t have to remember to schedule service.
