Nur HVAC installed a Bryant 38MARBQ36AB3 heat pump as part of a dual fuel system. A Bryant dual fuel setup, also known as a hybrid heating system, combines a heat pump with a gas furnace so the home always heats with the more efficient option for the conditions outside. It’s a setup we install around the Bay Area, including Milpitas.
In this arrangement the heat pump does most of the work. It serves as the primary heating source during milder weather, when heating demands are lower, using electricity to extract heat from the outside air and transfer it inside the home.

How a Bryant dual fuel system works
- Heat pump leads in mild weather: when heating demand is lower, the 38MARBQ36AB3 heat pump handles the load efficiently, pulling heat from the outdoor air using electricity.
- Furnace steps in when it is cold: as outdoor temperatures drop significantly, the dual fuel system automatically switches to the gas furnace for stronger, supplemental heat.
- Comfort in colder climates: that automatic handoff ensures comfortable indoor temperatures are maintained even when conditions turn harsh.
- Optimized energy use: by always using the most efficient heating method for the current weather, the system helps optimize energy consumption and reduce utility costs.
Heating for every season
Taken together, the heat pump and furnace give the home efficient, flexible heating across the full range of seasonal conditions, drawing on whichever source makes the most sense at the time. For the homeowner, none of the switching requires any attention; the system decides on its own which heat source to run. As on every job, Nur HVAC sized the system to the space and completed the installation so it runs the way Bryant intended.
Who benefits from dual fuel?
A dual fuel setup suits homeowners who want the low running costs of a heat pump most of the year but are not ready to give up gas heat for the coldest snaps. It is also a natural path for homes with a solid existing furnace, since the heat pump can be added on top rather than replacing everything at once. If that sounds like your situation, we are happy to look at your system and explain the options.

“David and his team did great job in processing HOA approval, inspection, installation and HVAC heat pump rebate even helping Tax deduction.”
“A quick note to thank Nur, and especially Misha (Mikhail Potapov) for a rapid diagnosis and initial triage of our Carrier 58MVP080 series furnace : and a blower motor not working/ Misha came and was extremely courteous and professional: fast and competent: I am an electrical engineer (only be education) and so it was great to see one by Profession. Fast and precise diagnosis, detachment, and prop of the unit for repair. The replacement is TBD but awaiting the estimate and next steps.”
“NUR HVAC provides great service and value. We reached out to them on 2 occasions: new furnace installation and duct replacement. They were friendly, got the job done on time, left the place clean, and the price was right. They are our go-to Hvac resource. Highly recommended!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend Nur HVAC company. My heater went down and the first company I called quoted me $5,000 to fix it — which immediately felt excessive. I brought these guys in for a second opinion and I’m very glad I did. The technician was friendly, professional, and clearly knew what he was doing. He quickly diagnosed the issue, explained the options clearly, and quoted only a few hundred dollars for the repair. Even better, they handled the warranty part replacement for me, which made the whole process painless. Honest pricing, knowledgeable techs, and zero pressure. This is exactly how service should be. I’ll absolutely be using them again and recommending them to others.”
“The people at NUR did a fabulous job installing a new heat pump, and at a very competitive price. The crew was communicative, on-time, and very professional. About a year later we're very much enjoying our (still) new heating/cooling system!”
“We installed a heat pump recently to be able to have AC and to replace an old furnace. Reached out to a few HVAC contractors and decided to go with NUR to install a Mitsubishi heat pump. David was our first point of contact and one of the main reasons we chose NUR. When he came to visit and provide an initial estimate, he explained the different options available and what to consider for each one, from duel fuel options to heat pumps. He was not pushy and was very patient with our questions. Afterwards, he provided a few quotes for us and answered questions via email and phone promptly. When it came to the installation, his team (Artur, Ilias, and others) was great as well; they were all very respectful and took great care in making sure the install was done properly. The install took 3 days and David came to check in towards the end of the install to make sure everything was working properly and things were cleaned up. NUR helped schedule the HERS test and city inspection afterwards. Overall, a fantastic experience. I would highly recommend working with NUR for any HVAC needs!”
“Evacuated and added refrigerant to the system. Quick and efficient.”
“We have used NUR HVAC for maintenance and repair multiple times over the years. The receptionist is friendly and dispatches technician timely whenever possible. Islam, the technician who worked with us in the past two years, is always on time for the scheduled appointment, technically competent and also very friendly and patient when answering my questions related to our 2 HVAC systems. Thank you Islam! We will definitely continue to use NUR HVAC’s service.”
“Excellent service ! Would highly recommend.. They value and prioritize their customer satisfaction.”
“Nur HVAC found an economical way to repair my AC system for another 3-5 years of use when others quoted me $9k+ minimum to repair and then tried to sell me a $20k full replacement. The Nur tech was the most honest and understandable person I encountered. He explained things well and gave me options. Their price for the full replacement was the best too, although I didn’t go that route. The Nur repair was done on time, with excellent quality, and on budget. I strongly recommend Nur HVAC for HVAC repair or purchase and installation.”
“Adlan from NUR, is extremely knowledgeable and punctual. They just installed our new furnace for our small building. I could not be happier with the quality of work performed or the competitive price they offered. Look no further and use NUR for ANY HVAC work for home or business!”
“Alexey from NUR HVAC was a total pro! He was friendly and clearly communicated the repair plan (schedule, likely costs) as my Carrier HVAC circuit board was damaged but replaced under warranty. And when Carrier/brand mixed up and sent the wrong part, he quickly got them to resend and rushed down that same day to install it. Highly recommend NUR and Alexey!”
