When a San Francisco homeowner asked us to replace an aging system, we delivered a full high-efficiency Carrier heat pump installation in San Francisco that now heats and cools the whole house from a single all-electric setup. Because San Francisco rarely sees hard freezes, a 3-ton heat pump is an ideal fit — it pulls heat from the outside air on cool mornings and reverses to cooling on the warm afternoons the Peninsula does get.
What we installed
This was a complete changeout: we set a new Carrier outdoor heat pump condenser on a level pad, ran and insulated a fresh refrigerant lineset, and tied it into a new indoor air handler in the mechanical room. Since the project called for a full electrical central system, our team also handled the electrical side — a dedicated disconnect, whip, and properly sized breaker for the heat pump.

Everything was permitted with the city, and the finished system passed its HERS test, so the homeowner has documentation that the install meets California energy code. We also added a condensate pump and a fresh air filter to keep the system running clean.
Why a heat pump works for San Francisco homes
The city’s mild, foggy climate is almost perfect for heat pumps. Outdoor temperatures stay in a narrow band, so the system runs efficiently year-round without a gas furnace, and moving to all-electric heating means no combustion or gas bill for space heating. A right-sized unit like this one also holds steadier temperatures and runs quieter than the old equipment it replaced.
If you’re weighing a similar upgrade, our heat pump installation team is happy to walk your home, size the system correctly, and handle the permit and HERS paperwork for you. Reach out for a free estimate and we’ll lay out your options with no pressure.

“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.”
“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!”
“The technician showed up on time, he was able to diagnostic the issue (my original installer wasn't able to figure it out) with our 5 zone heat pump. He suggested a few options with transparent pricing and no pressure to commit. We agreed on a fix and he was able to fix it right away. 10/10 would recommend.”

“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 the experience was top-tier from start to finish. The installation was completed with incredible attention to detail, craftsmanship, and professionalism. They found smart, creative ways to route all the new wiring while opening as few walls as possible. For the couple of small spots where wall access was necessary, they made sure everything was fully patched, finished, and painted so seamlessly you’d never know any work had been done. On top of that, what stood out the most was their commitment to going above and beyond—they stayed late working extra hours just to ensure our Google Nest thermostat was fully integrated, tested, and working perfectly before they left. It’s rare to find contractors who are this reliable, clean, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to customer satisfaction. If you need any HVAC work done, save yourself the hassle and hire Nur HVAC. Outstanding job all around!”
“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!"”
“Artur at NUR was very knowledgeable about the equipment options and balancing energy costs and carbon footprint. I chose NUR because the handled aspects all of the job scope and accommodated my wishes for outdoor unit placing. The install crew was hard working. Happy to support Ukrainian Americans - Slava Ukraine!”
“Had a great experience getting a heat pump/AC unit installed in SF. High quality work, also handled all the inspection followups end to end.”
“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.”
“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.”
“I’m very happy I chose to go with Nur HVAC. Not only was their pricing fair, but the quality of their work was excellent. My team—Fedor, Sergii, and Alex—completed the project within the estimated timeframe, even after running into some unexpected challenges along the way. They were patient with my concerns and took the time to explain each step of the process. Working in a city apartment can be tricky, but Sergii and Alex were very careful with their tools and machinery, ensuring nothing was damaged in my tight space. They were also extremely accommodating, thoughtfully laying out the pipes to meet my HOA’s specific requirements. Communication throughout the project was always clear and transparent. I highly recommend Nur HVAC to anyone looking for reliable, professional service.”
“I used Nur to install a new heat pump and they were terrific. I sought quotes from a number of competitors. Not only were they competitively priced but they have been super responsive and professional throughout. Fedor patiently and thoroughly responded to every question that ChatGPT could throw at him (through me)! The installation team - Alex and Vadim - were awesome and worked went above and beyond.”
“Everything was smooth and seamless. I got several quotes and chose them in the end. They were able to provide accurate information and were patient to answer all my questions. They helped plan the install and apply for the permit. Installation by Shalai and Alex was efficient and on schedule. All in all a great experience. Do not hesitate to get them as your contractor!”
