Heat Pump & Ductless Mini-Split Installation in San Francisco
Mitsubishi Diamond certified · 4.9★ rated · bringing certified HVAC service to San Francisco.
Trusted HVAC service in San Francisco
San Francisco's signature fog and cool ocean air mean heating, heat pumps, and efficient hot water dominate the HVAC agenda - air conditioning is rarely part of the conversation. Nur HVAC brings its certified crews from Burlingame to handle Heat Pump Installation, Furnace Installation, Ductless Mini-Split Installation, and Heat Pump Water Heater Installation across the city.
A city where summer highs often stay in the low 60s, San Francisco has almost no cooling demand - but its damp, chilly winters and persistently cold fog make reliable, efficient heating a year-round necessity. A cold-climate heat pump is the ideal single-system answer here: it delivers consistent warmth even on the coldest fogged-in nights while cutting energy costs compared with a gas furnace.

Heating first, because this is San Francisco
Downtown San Francisco averages a July high of about 66°F, and the city logs roughly 23 times more heating degree days than cooling degree days (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). In practice that means most calls we get from the city are about heat: a tired gas furnace, a wall heater that barely warms one room, or a top floor that never gets comfortable. A heat pump solves the heating problem first and gives you cooling for the handful of hot days as a bonus.
What we install in San Francisco homes
- Ductless and multi-zone Mitsubishi systems for homes with no ducts or no room to run them
- Ducted heat pumps that replace a gas furnace and reuse existing ductwork when it tests well
- Hyper-Heating (H2i) Mitsubishi units for foggy west-side neighborhoods
- Heat pump water heaters, often the easiest first step off gas
Row houses, Edwardians and tight mechanical space
The Sunset and Richmond are full of semi-attached houses on 25-foot lots with the living space over a street-level garage. There is usually no attic to hide ducts in, and the outdoor unit has to fit a narrow side yard, a rear deck or a light well. Victorians and Edwardians in Noe Valley and Bernal Heights have their own limits: plaster walls and floor plans built around a single furnace. On these homes we usually design a multi-zone ductless system, with line sets routed through the garage or closets so the finished rooms stay intact.
Permits and inspections
HVAC and heat pump work in San Francisco is permitted through the Department of Building Inspection. We pull the mechanical permit and, when a new 240V circuit is needed, the electrical permit, and we schedule the inspection. Under the 2025 California Energy Code most HVAC replacements also need third-party verification by an ECC-Rater (formerly HERS), such as duct leakage testing and refrigerant charge checks. San Francisco also limits equipment noise at the property line and inside a neighbor's rooms, so we pick and place the outdoor unit with that in mind.

HVAC built for San Francisco homes
Nur HVAC extends full service to every corner of San Francisco - the row houses of the Sunset District and Richmond District, the hillside Edwardians of Noe Valley and Bernal Heights, the classic homes of West Portal, Glen Park, and St. Francis Wood. The city's dense, older housing stock is the defining HVAC challenge: Victorian and Edwardian floorplans were built around gravity furnaces or steam radiators, leaving little room for conventional ductwork. Ductless mini-split systems are often the cleanest, least invasive upgrade in these homes, preserving original architecture while delivering modern zoned comfort. Tight mechanical spaces and shared walls in attached rowhouses require careful equipment placement - exactly the kind of detailed installation work our crews plan for on every San Francisco job.

San Francisco HVAC - common questions
Will a heat pump keep my San Francisco home warm on cold, foggy nights?
Yes. San Francisco winter lows average in the mid-40s, well within the range where a modern heat pump runs efficiently. For drafty homes or west-side blocks we often specify Mitsubishi Hyper-Heating models, which are built to hold heating output in much colder weather than the city ever sees.
Can you install a mini-split in a Victorian or a row house without opening walls?
Usually, yes. Most line sets can run through the garage, closets or the exterior, and each indoor unit needs only a small wall penetration. We plan the routing during the free in-home visit so you know exactly where every unit and line will go.
Do I need a permit to replace my furnace with a heat pump in San Francisco?
Yes. A mechanical permit from DBI is required, plus an electrical permit if we add a circuit. We handle both and schedule the inspection.
Do you need air conditioning in San Francisco?
Most homes do not need a dedicated AC. A heat pump covers the few hot days a year and replaces your heating at the same time, which is why we rarely recommend AC-only systems in the city.
Are heat pump rebates available in San Francisco?
San Francisco homes are served by CleanPowerSF. Up to $1,200 in bill credits ($50 a month) for switching to an electric heat pump water heater or heating system, with an extra 12 months for CARE/FERA customers.

“NUR installed a ductless multi-zone Mitsubishi mini-split system for us this spring after our 100-year-old lovely monster of a gas boiler died. It's so far out of code that no one will repair it, and we were tired of being cold! The new system is electric with a heat pump on the roof, and it includes AC for the six days a year when my usually foggy neighborhood needs it. We chose NUR because they offered competitive prices and clear communication, and they were able to place the indoor units exactly where we wanted them. The installation took just a couple of days and they were kind and efficient. If you are looking to get a job like this done, you should give them a call.”
“Adlan did a great job repairing my 20-year-old heating unit under my house. He had to crawl about 10 yards under the crawl space to get to the unit and had to work in cramped conditions. He also re-opened some ducts that had become closed over the years and also came back the next day to replace some rusted out ductwork that had been corroded by the ocean air. The heating system had been neglected for 20 years, and was long overdue. Everything works again and the air pressure in my back room registers actually has flow for the first time in many years. Great job and the price was quite reasonable. I will be calling NUR HVAC back regularly to make sure my heater never gets to that state again.”
“I cannot recommend Artur and the team behind NUR HVAC enough. I thank them every single day that my house is so much more comfortable than it was. Their installation of my heat pump was top-notch, and they didn't deceive me like a lot of other contractors. Stand-up guys doing excellent work at a reasonable price. You will never regret hiring them. And if even the tiniest thing goes wrong, they will come back and make it right, at no additional cost. If you need an honest, trustworthy HVAC installer, they are by far the best I've found. Super-sweet people and incredibly skilled engineers. You really can't ask for anything better than that.”

“Nur HVAC recently installed a mini-split system in our SF condo; one in the living room, and one each in the two bedrooms. They installed the heat pump outside on the balcony. I was impressed with their work ethic and the way they kept our space clean during the installation. They cleaned up at the end of each work day and were very respectful and thoughtful of our home, our dog, and us. They communicate clearly and quickly; I would highly recommend them to install an AC system.”
“NUR HVAC just completed installation of a Mitsubishi heat pump system in my San Francisco home, replacing a 38-year-old Lennox gas furnace. I couldn't be more pleased with the quality of the work and the professionalism shown during the process. In particular, I wanted to commend Artur and Vladimir, the NUR technicians who did the beautiful install. Both guys were extremely polite and respectful, for example, putting on shoe covers whenever they entered the house. Artur was also very fastidious in running the ancillary electrical feeds to my main service panel. What a neat job! Fedor, who came to do the initial assessment, was a great resource and answered all my questions regarding scheduling, warranty, maintenance, etc. He offered several options during the bidding process without any pressure to come to a quick decision or attempts at “upselling.” In the end, their quote was very competitive, and fair given the quality of the work and the final product. Being a Mitsubishi Diamond Contractor, NUR was able to offer a 12-year warranty on parts and labor. The bottom line is NUR is a top quality outfit and it was easy to see that they take great pride in their work and genuinely care about their customers. NUR may be the best contractor I’ve ever used. Definitely, 5-Star!”
“Excellent experience. We requested a routine furnace inspection and were able to be scheduled the next day with Islam. Islam was incredibly professional, thorough, and efficient. He did not try to upsell us on any repairs, and he even took the time to successfully troubleshoot why our attic light wasn't working (saving us an expensive electrical visit later on). If we need repairs or replacement in the future, Nur HVAC will be the first company we seek out.”
“Many thanks to NUR HVAC for their outstanding customer service and job done. Our central air conditioning unit broke at the most inconvenient time and they were able to move things along quickly to help us out. The Inspector came out to assess everything and was very helpful in explaining what we needed. Within a few days a new unit was scheduled for installation. Eldar and Ruslan were the installers, and the very best at that. They worked fast and efficiently, respecting our home, and keeping us informed as they worked step by step. The installers cleaned up the interior and exterior after work was completed and gave us very clear instructions on the controls and maintenance details. We would highly recommend NUR HVAC services. Thanks again.”
“I highly recommend Nur HVAC. They recently installed a heat pump system and two mini splits at my house. The units are extremely quiet and work well. I found all of the Nur personnel to be professional and courteous with excellent integrity. The mini split placement was tricky in one of the rooms, and they brought in a bigger team to carefully consider the pros and cons of various options before making a final recommendation and explaining the considerations to me. They did a fabulous job of communicating with me and they did high-quality work. The installers even painted exposed outside pipes to match my stucco, so the pipes are quite unobtrusive. The electrical inspector came yesterday and was smiling when he remarked to me, "They did nice, clean work!"”
“This visit was a maintenance check on our 2 mini splits that were installed about 18 months previous . Islam D showed me how to clean the filters ( which was easy ) and he inspected the unit on our roof. The visit was prompt, professional and informative as I had several questions on the workings of the mini splits. We are very pleased with these units and the service we've received from Nur HVAC.”
“We had an excellent experience with this HVAC company from start to finish. Fedor was incredibly prompt and professional at every appointment, provided a clear, comprehensive job specification, and the pricing was very fair and transparent. They installed a Mitsubishi ceiling mini split, and the installation itself was flawless. His installer, Volodymyr, and the rest of the team truly went above and beyond — they could not have worked harder, nor been nicer or more conscientious in our home. They were respectful, detail-oriented, and left everything spotless. It’s rare to find a company that combines responsiveness, fair pricing, and such high-quality workmanship. We highly recommend them.”
“Phenomenal Service – Furnace Replacement & Heat Pump Installation! I can’t say enough good things about the team at Nur HVAC! They recently installed a brand-new AC heat pump system for us and replaced our old gas furnace, and …”
“These folks were great. They came out right away and really took their time to see what was going on with my system. I was open to replacing but they told me it wasn't needed and they could repair a part and make some adjustments. The whole system is working so much better.”
“Over the last 10 years, we have had issues with our furnace. Every time, I've call the same local service for help. This time, I called Nur HVAC instead. And I'm glad I did. The technician, Adlan, was knowledgeable, thorough, and made observations that I haven't heard before. He performed maintenance, calibrated the gas (which had never been done before), and fixed our issue (without replacing parts). He then evaluated the system by running tests on the furnace and the checked the thermostat and the vents inside the house. Our system is running better than it has ever run. I can't be happier with Nur's service.”
