You’ll feel the difference the moment your new heat pump system kicks in. No more battling San Francisco’s unpredictable weather – when the fog rolls in and your neighborhood drops 15 degrees, your home stays perfectly comfortable.
Your energy bills drop by 40-50% compared to old systems because heat pumps move heat instead of creating it, using a fraction of the electricity. But the real difference is in your daily life – consistent temperatures in every room, cleaner air through advanced filtration, and a system built to last 15-20 years.
This isn’t just about heating and cooling. It’s about investing in a solution that works with San Francisco County’s unique climate challenges while cutting your environmental impact and boosting your home’s value.
We’ve been serving San Francisco County families since 2001, built on three generations of plumbing and HVAC expertise. We’re not the biggest company in town, but we’re the one that shows up on time, takes the time to diagnose your system properly, and gets the job done right the first time.
Our technicians are paid by the hour, not commission, so there’s never pressure to rush or oversell. Every professional on our team is pre-screened, licensed, bonded, and has over three years of experience. We wear shoe covers, keep clean vehicles, and clean up completely when we’re done.
What sets us apart in San Francisco County is understanding the specific challenges of older homes – Victorian layouts, limited electrical capacity, and unique installation constraints that require real expertise, not cookie-cutter solutions.
We start with a thorough assessment of your San Francisco County home’s heating and cooling needs, electrical capacity, and layout. No two homes are identical, especially in our area where Victorian and Edwardian homes present unique challenges that require customized solutions.
Next, we handle all permitting through the Department of Building Inspection – mechanical and electrical permits, plus any electrical panel upgrades if needed. You don’t deal with the paperwork headaches.
Installation day means our licensed technicians arrive with fully stocked vehicles and complete the work efficiently. For ductless systems, we can install with minimal modification to your home’s structure. For ducted systems, we work with your existing infrastructure or recommend improvements that make sense for your budget and comfort goals.
After installation, we test everything thoroughly, walk you through your new system’s operation, and schedule your first maintenance visit to keep your investment protected.

Every heat pump installation in San Francisco County includes proper sizing calculations, electrical system evaluation, and permit handling. We work with all major brands and recommend systems based on your home’s specific needs, not what we have in stock.
For older San Francisco County homes, ductless heat pump systems often work perfectly because they don’t require existing ductwork. Many Victorian and Edwardian homes have unique layouts that make traditional HVAC challenging, but ductless heat pumps adapt to these architectural features.
Our installations include advanced filtration systems that remove allergens and urban pollutants – something that matters when you’re dealing with city air quality. Plus, with California’s generous rebate programs, many homeowners qualify for up to $5,500 in incentives, making the investment even smarter.
We also handle electrical panel upgrades when needed, coordinate with utility companies for any electrical work, and ensure your new system integrates seamlessly with smart thermostats and home automation systems.
Most San Francisco County homeowners see 40-50% reductions in their heating and cooling costs after heat pump installation. Heat pumps work by moving heat rather than creating it, which means they use a fraction of the electricity compared to traditional systems.
The exact savings depend on your current system, home size, and usage patterns, but the efficiency gains are significant. Heat pumps can achieve effective efficiencies of 300% or more, compared to even the most efficient gas furnaces at 98% efficiency.
With San Francisco’s mild climate, heat pumps operate at peak efficiency year-round. You’ll see the difference in your first utility bill, and those savings add up to thousands of dollars over the system’s 15-20 year lifespan.
Absolutely. Older San Francisco homes are often perfect candidates for ductless heat pump systems because they don’t require existing ductwork. Many Victorian and Edwardian homes in the county have unique layouts that make traditional HVAC systems challenging, but ductless heat pumps can be installed with minimal modification to your home’s structure.
We work with older electrical systems regularly and can upgrade panels or circuits as needed. The key is proper planning and working with contractors who understand the specific challenges of San Francisco County’s older housing stock.
Ductless systems are particularly well-suited for homes with radiator heating, knob-and-tube wiring, or limited space for traditional ductwork. We’ve successfully installed heat pumps in homes dating back to the early 1900s throughout the county.
Heat pump installations in San Francisco County typically require mechanical and electrical permits from the Department of Building Inspection. The specific permits depend on your installation type and whether you’re replacing an existing system or installing something completely new.
If electrical panel upgrades are needed, that requires additional permitting. We handle all permit applications and coordination with the city, so you don’t have to navigate the paperwork process yourself.
The permit process usually takes 2-3 weeks, and we schedule installation once all approvals are in place. We also coordinate any required inspections and ensure everything meets local building codes and safety standards.
Most ductless heat pump installations in San Francisco County take 1-2 days, depending on the number of indoor units and any electrical work needed. Ducted systems may take 2-3 days if we’re working with existing ductwork, or longer if significant modifications are required.
The timeline includes permit approval, which typically takes 2-3 weeks before installation begins. We schedule everything in advance and provide clear timelines so you can plan accordingly.
For older homes with unique challenges, we may need additional time for electrical upgrades or structural considerations. We always provide realistic timelines during our initial assessment and keep you updated throughout the process.
California homeowners can receive up to $5,500 for qualifying heat pump installations through various state and local rebate programs. The TECH Clean California program offers $1,000 per heat pump system installed, with a maximum of $2,000 per project for multiple units.
Federal tax credits are also available, potentially adding another $2,000 in savings. BayREN and other local utility programs may offer additional incentives depending on your specific location within San Francisco County.
We handle all rebate paperwork and filing on your behalf to maximize your savings. During our initial consultation, we’ll identify all available incentives for your specific situation and ensure you receive every dollar you’re entitled to.
San Francisco County’s mild coastal climate is ideal for heat pump systems. The moderate temperatures year-round mean heat pumps operate at peak efficiency, unlike colder climates where they struggle during winter months.
Modern heat pumps handle the county’s microclimates well – from foggy coastal areas to warmer inland neighborhoods. They provide consistent heating when the fog rolls in and efficient cooling during those unexpected hot spells.
The variable-speed technology in newer heat pumps automatically adjusts to maintain perfect comfort regardless of outside conditions. This is particularly valuable in San Francisco County where temperatures can vary significantly between neighborhoods and throughout the day.
