Heat Pump & AC Installation in San Jose

Mitsubishi Diamond certified · 4.9★ rated · bringing certified HVAC service to San Jose.

Trusted HVAC service in San Jose

San Jose's inland Silicon Valley position means genuine summer heat and cool winter nights - a climate where both air conditioning and efficient heating aren't optional extras but everyday necessities. Nur HVAC extends its certified crews from San Mateo County to serve San Jose homeowners with air conditioner installation, heat pump installation, furnace installation, and ductless mini-split installation.

Few Bay Area cities make a stronger case for a heat pump than San Jose - the airport averages a July high near 81°F with heat waves that run well past that, while January nights average around 42°F, so heating matters just as much from October through April. A modern heat pump handles both seasons in one efficient system, cutting the energy overhead that running separate AC and furnace units would otherwise cost.

Real cooling load, real heating season

San Jose has the most cooling demand of any city we serve: about 624 cooling degree days a year and a July average high near 81°F at the airport, with heat waves that push much higher (NOAA 1991-2020). Winter nights still average around 42°F. A heat pump handles both, so when an old AC or furnace fails we usually quote a heat pump alongside a like-for-like replacement.

What we install in San Jose

  • Ducted heat pumps replacing a furnace and AC with one system
  • Mitsubishi multi-zone systems for larger homes and hot upstairs rooms
  • Carrier air conditioners and furnaces when a straight swap makes more sense
  • Heat pump water heaters (Rheem, Bradford White, SANCO2)

Neighborhoods and housing

Craftsman and period homes in Willow Glen and the Rose Garden often have single-zone ductwork that was never sized for cooling. Almaden Valley and Cambrian Park have larger ranch homes where one thermostat cannot keep every room even, so we often design zoned or multi-zone systems. Eichler tracts such as Fairglen need the same ductless approach we use in Palo Alto.

Permits and placement

San Jose issues heat pump permits online through SJPermits, and a single heat pump permit covers the mechanical and electrical work. The city limits outdoor unit noise to 55 dBA at the property line and sets clearances from fences and property lines, which matters on tight side yards. Replacements also need ECC-Rater (formerly HERS) verification under the 2025 Energy Code.

San Jose Clean Energy rebates

San José Clean Energy's EcoHome program offers $1,500 toward a heat pump that replaces gas heating ($2,500 in designated environmental-justice areas) and $2,500 toward a heat pump water heater that replaces a gas unit, while funds last. Approval is required before installation, so we build that step into the schedule. Amounts and availability change - check before you buy (as of October 2026).

HVAC built for San Jose homes

Nur HVAC brings its San Mateo County expertise across the county line to neighborhoods throughout San Jose - from the tree-lined Craftsman blocks of Willow Glen and the Rose Garden to the sprawling ranch homes of Almaden Valley and Cambrian Park, and out to the newer tract developments of Evergreen and Berryessa. Older homes in Willow Glen and the Rose Garden commonly have aging single-zone ductwork that was never sized for modern AC, making a ductless mini-split retrofit a practical upgrade. In Almaden Valley and Cambrian Park, where square footage runs larger and summer heat is more intense, we frequently design multi-zone heat pump systems that deliver room-by-room control without the inefficiency of whole-house overcooling.

San Jose HVAC - common questions

Is a heat pump strong enough for a San Jose heat wave?

Yes, when it is sized correctly. We run a room-by-room load calculation instead of matching the old unit's tonnage, because many older San Jose systems were oversized or undersized from the start.

Should I replace my AC with an AC or a heat pump?

If your furnace is also aging, a heat pump usually makes more sense: one system, one warranty, and eligibility for San Jose Clean Energy rebates. If the furnace is newer, a dual-fuel setup keeps it as backup.

Do you work in all San Jose neighborhoods?

Yes. Our crews come from our Burlingame base and regularly work in Willow Glen, Almaden Valley, Cambrian Park, Evergreen, Berryessa and West San Jose.

Are heat pump rebates available in San Jose?

San Jose homes are served by San José Clean Energy (EcoHome). $1,500 toward a heat pump that replaces gas heating ($2,500 in designated environmental-justice areas) and a rebate for a heat pump water heater that replaces a gas unit. Approval is required before installation. Amounts and availability change - check with the program before you buy (as of October 2026).

“My AC unit stopped working 2 months ago and I called several service companies for a quote. Nur offered a free appraisal and quote. I decided to go ahead with him and he was extremely professional, thorough and knowledgeable. He arrived exactly on time, wore mask and booties inside the house, showed me all the readings to educate me on where the problem was and fixed the issue within the time he estimated. Yesterday, during a record breaking heat wave, it felt like my AC unit stopped working again. I called Nur and he came down to inspect the unit, and showed me where PG&E had turned off my AC unit remotely. And he didn't charge me for the visit since there wasn't any problem. 10/10 would recommend , and will only use him for all my AC needs from here onwards.”

“We wanted to install an AC in our condo and replace the old gas furnace. We are happy that we had business with Nur HVAC. Their estimator was a professional who explained us all the options including the least expensive ones. Their quotes and estimates looked honest and fair, their pricing was way better than the competitors (almost twice less the amount than some other greedy dealers). We decided to proceed and made an appointment for the installation. The equipment installed is modern and quiet. The consumables used were all high quality and brand new. The guys were professional, on time, diligent and not cutting corners during the installation process. All conduits look neat and nice. Everything looks great. They left the place tidy and clean. After we used the system for a couple of days we realized that some custom tuning might be necessary for our apartment, to which Nur HVAC quickly made a new appointment and fixed all the issues for free. Nur HVAC are reliable, responsible and dependable. I highly recommend them to everyone who needs HVAC services in Bay Area. P.S. We got a few quotes from other companies too. They were sending us basically a sales person who would be just trying to figure out how much we could afford to pay. So I ended up with a few obviously unfair quotes which I didn't want to proceed with. Also the sales people were not always nice. Once they find out your budget is tight, they kinda lose interest in you. Reluctantly talking and just leaving as soon as they can.”

I wanted to install a home electric charger with very minimum knowledge and some peoples may over charge or push me to do extra works. But David told me what I need and finished work quick and clean. I highly recommend him for any electric work.”

“We are so glad that we made the right choice for working with Nur HVAC on adding heat pump AC with our existing furnace. The sales representative Ilias was very prompt in responding all our questions and offered a very reasonable price. Fedor and Shalai, the installation team, installed all the new facilities PERFECTLY. They really know their job - all their tasks were super organized and clean - they even cleaned all working spaces every day before they left! (Big Kudos!!) In addition to the quality installation, they also explained how the system works clearly and patiently. We are waiting for inspection now but we believe it will pass thanks to the great work. Thanks team!”

“With the heat wave going on and all of a sudden my AC system failing, I couldn’t find anyone to come immediately except Nur HVAC which fit me in and sent Michael over within a few hours to check and repair my system. Michael found a number of issues that he fixed and also made suggestions for future maintenance. I really appreciated the good work and happy to have my AC working quickly again.”

“I’m a property manager for several rentals here in the California area and I have to say I’ve always been extremely satisfied with all of the HVAC technicians that have come out to help us with our residence. Each technician has been helpful, professional, punctual, repaired issues efficiently and have never overcharged us for any labor parts or services. We will continue to have them as our list of contractors. Thank you to Islam and David for your continued service.”

“Our air conditioner started making strange noises. But cane out to look at the condenser unit. It turns out that someone had left a garbage bag in top that got sucked in and wrapped around the fan. They did not charge is anything. This is the third time we have used Nir for heating or air conditioning. They have been prompt, efficient, reasonably priced and courteous. I highly recommend them.”

I had a last-minute call to them, and they were able to accommodate me for next day, and the tech Islam worked really hard, kept updated on every step and possible fall outs in future due to the unit being old. Overall, they were really professional, quick and would recommend for sure.”
