Carrier dual-fuel heat pump and furnace installation in San Mateo, CA
We recently completed a Carrier dual-fuel heat pump system installation in San Mateo, replacing an aging HVAC setup with a modern solution designed for year-round comfort and energy efficiency. We install systems like this across the Peninsula, from San Mateo to Belmont and nearby cities.
The homeowner wanted a system that could reduce energy consumption while still providing dependable heating during colder winter days. A dual-fuel setup was the perfect answer. By combining a high-efficiency heat pump with a new Carrier furnace and evaporator coil, the system automatically chooses the most efficient heating source based on outdoor temperatures.

Why homeowners in San Mateo are choosing dual-fuel systems
- Lower energy costs throughout the year
- Efficient heating and cooling from a single integrated system
- Automatic switching between heat pump and furnace operation
On mild days the heat pump does the work using electricity efficiently; on the coldest mornings the furnace steps in for strong, fast heat. The homeowner never has to think about it — the system decides on its own, and comfort stays steady while the utility bills stay reasonable. In summer, the same heat pump provides cooling, so one integrated system covers the entire year.
How the installation went
Our team removed the aging equipment, set the new heat pump, furnace, and evaporator coil, and connected everything with clean refrigerant lines and secure electrical work. Before wrapping up, we tested the full system in heating and cooling modes and confirmed the automatic switchover behaves the way it should. If this kind of setup sounds like a fit for your home, see our dual-fuel system installation service — or reach out and we will help you decide whether dual-fuel makes sense for your house.
Dual-fuel is especially well suited to the Peninsula climate, where most days are mild but a handful of winter mornings genuinely call for strong heat. The heat pump handles the majority of the season at high efficiency, and the furnace covers the rest, so neither piece of equipment is forced to do a job it is not built for. That balance is what keeps operating costs low without ever leaving the family waiting for the house to warm up.

“Nur HVAC recently installed a heat pump (so we could finally have cool air during the summer!) and a new furnace since we still prefer to heat with gas. I could not be more pleased. I obtained estimates from 3 companies, including Nur. One was the Costco installer. They were nice but very expensive and didn't have the greatest post-install reviews. Still, I considered them. Another company provided what seemed like a pitch for a time share, complete with an album showing their reviews. This lasted close to 20 minutes! Nice company but out of the ballpark on price (maybe the presentation was intended to make you forget the final price?) and the estimate ran multiple pages which made comparing options impossible. Then came Artur with Nur HVAC. He was prompt, provided an easy to read, no nonsense estimate comparing options and did not try to upsell me by actually recommending less expensive options. They also had the best price no matter what we went with. The team which did the install was efficient, prompt, did solid work and were extremely polite. The job was so well done that when the city inspector came by for the final sign off, he was impressed by the work and told me that he has never had a problem with Nur. He explained how others take short cuts and how he is able to spot the problems. He told me Nur HVAC was one of only a handful of companies that always passed inspection as the installs were safe and properly done. I could not praise Artur and his team more! You will not find a more polite, professional and hardworking company that provides such great value for the money.”
“Great service twice now from Islam D! I have 2 small children and both times they've gone above and beyond to help me get heat going as quickly as possible. First time the motherboard went out on my furnace and Islam had an old one with him that he was able to quickly install while we waited for new replacement under warranty as unit is under 3 years old. Came back once he had new one and swapped them out again. This most recent time Islam came after hours and I can only imagine after an already long day to make sure he was able to help us as of course it had been our coldest days of the winter. We went to furnace and he checked everything to find nothing actually wrong. He decided to switch up wiring to thermostat as only 2 of the 5 wires available were being used and thankfully that worked. Even came out of it being able to now use the "fan" function on furnace. As long as Islam works for Nur HVAC, I will not being calling anyone but him!”
“I highly recommend this company and specifically Islam was the technician. My furnace was coming on sporadically, shutting off quickly and not heating up my home. I had two other vendors come to look at it and could not figure out the problem. Islam came very prepared with a head light, and tool kit. In less than 5 minutes he figured out the problem was with the capacitor. He was very professional and thorough, even checking the carbon monoxide level. He really knows what he's doing! The cost was very reasonable too. Thank you to Islam and Nur HVAC!”

“Nur HVAC replaced my old gas furnace and replaced it with a Mitsubishi heat pump. They also redid my ducts. David initially came to my house to give me a quote, he offered me a ductless option which no other HVAC companies suggested, and was clearly experienced in HVAC installation, and gave me the best quote for top of the line equipment. Other HVAC companies sent salespeople, but David was technical and addressed my concerns and questions with great detail. The team that installed my new heat pump went above and beyond - they fixed some loose wiring in the crawlspace and adjusted the gas and exhaust lines for my water heater to save space. The installation was well done, the wiring and new lines they ran were clean and organized, they ensured that all the ducts were sealed and the airflow was balanced to all my rooms. I'm very happy with my new hvac system and would highly recommend Nur HVAC!”
“We had old gas furnace replaced with heat pump and condenser. David gave us a very competitive bid. Both Alexander and Constantine are great crews replaced our furnace in our crawl space. The workmanship is excellent. They are very knowledgeable. David really care for his clients, he even came late at night to teach us how to setup the control because we are old folks don’t know how to download with wifi for the control. Arthur is very friendly, he waited patiently for the city inspector. Everything goes smoothly for this project. We are very happy to have this company got do the job.”
“NUR HVAC definitely delivered on its promise of a new furnace. The technician, Adlan, was a true professional knowledgeable of his craft, extremely neat & organized with a very pleasant demeanor. The home office was equally prompt on informing me of the progress and quickly addressed any issues I may have. I definitely will be calling them soon for the installation of my AC. Suffice to say, I hope I will be interacting again with Fedor and Adlan. Thank you for a job well done!”
“I highly recommend Nur HVAC! They upgraded my old split furnace HVAC with a heat pump HVAC retrofit. Fedor and the installation team showed outstanding professionalism and craftsmanship in all phases of the project: * Detailed initial project scoping tailored to my home's needs * Fast, friendly communication from start to finish * Solved new complexities we encountered on site * Collaboratively discussed alternative solutions, never felt pushy * High work quality I would absolutely choose Nur again for future HVAC work.”
“It is no coincidence that Nur HVAC has such positive reviews. This team is just as good as all of the reviews say. We had them upgrade our old gas furnace and gas water heater to heat pump units and I can say hands down that this was the most positive home improvement / construction project we've done. Fedor coordinated our project and was consistently responsive and helpful. He went above and beyond to make sure we got the equipment I wanted. Vladimir and Arthur performed most of the install and it went super smoothly and the equipment works perfectly. They were always courteous and communicative. We had one issue related to very high water pressure from the street and even though this wasnt their fault, Nur HVAC prioritized helping us solve the problem over the holidays. I could not recommend this team more.”
“David and his crew helped install a heat pump for our house. Before that, we only had a heating furnace and would dread the increasingly hot summers. The crew did a fantastic job installing the heat pump and working with us through the permit process with the city. Would definitely recommend them for any HVAC related work!”
“My evperience with Nur Hvac was a pleasant one. Fedor was very accommodating and cooperative! The crew was very efficient and clean. I am glad I chose this company!”
“Very pleased with their heat pump installation. I got three quotes and theirs was just a little lower than the others, but I chose them because they explained everything very well. They did not try to upsell like the other companies, which I appreciated. Installation went quickly and everyone was very pleasant. Photo with Arthur and our heat pump. Update, year and a half later: everything is working well. They helped me apply for the rebate after it was installed. I asked if I should do maintenance and they showed me what kind of filter to get. David came by and checked everything over (2nd photo) and didn't even charge because nothing was needed beyond changing the filter.”
“Alex returned to diagnose the issue with heater not turning on. Heater fine thermostat needed a tweak. All good now and we appreciate Alex’s work.”
