Bradford White heat pump water heater installation in El Granada, CA

Nur HVAC just installed a Bradford White 65-gallon heat pump water heater in El Granada, CA. This high-capacity unit uses heat pump technology to produce hot water far more efficiently than a standard electric tank, making it a smart upgrade for households that want reliable hot water at a lower running cost.

Instead of generating heat directly, a heat pump water heater pulls warmth from the surrounding air to heat the water in the tank. That approach uses significantly less energy than a standard electric element, which is where the savings come from over the life of the unit. Meanwhile, the generous 65-gallon capacity keeps plenty of hot water on hand for showers, laundry, and everyday use.

This water heater is a smart choice for any homeowner looking to lower energy costs while enjoying dependable hot water day after day.

“We used Nur HVAC to replace gas furnace with a heat pump inverter, replace the aging duct work and gas water heater with a heat pump water heater, all in the same contract. Our project manager, Arthur was on-time for the scoping appointment. He took time to understand our needs, investigated the attic, ducts and all the existing equipment, before making any recommendations. He designed the optimal system for our house to be cost effective, provide highest comfort and be energy efficient. He was not pushy and was upfront about the ballpark estimates and timeline. He also walked us thru the various rebates that are available for the replacements from local utilities. Arthur's quote was very competitive, in fact better than those quoted to us by Costco referred contractors. Nur's installation crew - Eldar, Bhakridin, were very professional and thorough. They didn't rush the job and left the job site clean and clutter free each day. They accommodated our requests for placing the electrical wires and conduits so they are not in the way. All the equipment both indoor and outdoor were cleanly laid out, secured and wiped down before hand off. Always smiling and respectful, one of the best installation crew we have had. As a white glove contractor they took care of all the permitting, inspection paperwork w/ the city, all the paper work for us to receive the rebates. They even completed the warranty registration with the manufacturers for all the equipment! We would highly recommend Arthur and Nur HVAC to anyone in the Bay Area needing heating and cooling solutions. We would definitely be going back to them ourselves when the need arises.”

“This is the second project I've done with this team, and there's a reason I keep coming back: Trust. When my water heater went out, Fedor showed up the same day to walk me through my options. I have a tendency to "over-buy," and I was actually leaning toward an expensive heat pump model. Instead of just taking the bigger check, Fedor was honest with me--he explained that the ROI on that specific unit wouldn't be recovered in my lifetime given complex electrical work required. Once we picked the right system for my actual needs, he had a crew at my house within two days to finish the install. They were professional, clean, and efficient. It's hard to find an HVAC company that values integrity as much as they do. They've earned a customer for life!”

“Fair and honest contractors are hard to come by these days, but NurHVAC absolutely fits that description. I was referred to them by a friend, and I'm glad I took the recommendation. We needed to replace our old gas water heater, which was nearing 15 years old. From start to finish, their communication was excellent. Artur was my coordinator and Shalai was my installer. They were honest, transparent, and took the time to answer every question I had. They walked me through the pros and cons of each option without any pressure and even guided me through the rebate process, which made everything much easier. What really stood out was their commitment to customer service. The installer stayed until 9:00 PM to make sure everything was working properly so we wouldn't have to spend the night without hot water. He absolutely didn't have to do that, but it showed how much he genuinely cared about doing the job right. When the work was finished, he cleaned everything up so well that you wouldn't have known a major project had taken place in my garage. If you're looking for a company that's honest, knowledgeable, and truly goes above and beyond for its customers, I can't recommend NurHVAC highly enough.”

“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!”

“After getting multiple estimates to replace our gas furnace and damaged ducting, we chose Nur HVAC and have been very satisfied with the workmanship and quality of our Mitsubishi heat pump mini-split setup and heat pump water heater. David was helpful in explaining why we should consider a ductless mini-split setup since we needed to remove all our old ducting. Nur HVAC was the only company to help us consider the options vs. just following what I thought was available. Their pricing is competitive, but I was most impressed with the installation of our 4 cassette indoor units - very clean, during and after what was probably a challenging 1-week install. Artur and Vlad worked hard and always checked in, let me know when they were out for lunch, and done for the day while I was working in and out of the house. Nur HVAC also assists with the rebates and financing options if available to you - as well as the permitting and final inspections. Great company and team, would definitely recommend!”

“We initially worked with David and team to upgrade our electrical panel from 100 to 200 amps for an ev charger install. We had such a good experience that when we decided to take advantage of the excellent rebates in San Mateo county to further electrify our house with a heat pump HVAC and heat pump water heater, we reached out to Nur again. David is responsive, listened to our needs and was able to suggest a solution that worked for us. The multi zone heat pump install was super clean - a cassette unit, a wall unit, and a ducted air handler-- all line sets were routed in the walls with no extraneous wires or holes. We're very pleased. The city inspector mentioned that this was the best install that he has seen-- that makes us feel confident in the work done. Pricing was competitive and the team was super professional - leaving the spaces tidy each day. Will definitely use Nur again for any future needs.”

“Honest and meticulous.  They quoted me a competitive price for work that they expected to complete within a few days.  The time to finish the job increased, but the price did not.  It's clear that they are *very* careful and detail-oriented during installation.  Fedor and the rest of the team also make everything before the work very easy; figuring out what you want, advising what to do, and communicating about scheduling/logistics.  Very happy overall, would recommend them without hesitation.  My wife and I have already used them twice: adding a central heat pump and later augmenting it, in select rooms, with mini splits.”

“I had an old furnace replaced with a new heat pump and air handler. I was impressed by their initial on-site inspection: the representative noticed that the new air handler would be wider than the existing one, which would require that our water heater be moved several inches for clearance. No other company noticed that. Overall, communication was excellent. They answered all questions and provided the city work permit application number so I could track approval process with the city. Work went smoothly and was finished in a few days, much sooner than what I had anticipated. Very good experience, would recommend to anyone.”

“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.”

“This is my second experience with these awesome people. Nur HVAC installed a heat pump a year ago and I remembered how professional they were. So when my water heater broke few weeks ago I called them again. Fedor called me and came over the same day to personally inspect my setup. He gave me three options for my water heating needs and coached me through the selection process based on my current and future needs. This was Monday and by Wednesday I had everything fixed! As always, professional and courteous service. While Fedor was here I got to talk to him about options for more even heating and cooling distribution in my house. Even though it was not related to problem at hand, he patiently explained to me what my options were and then turned me onto a new solution using smart vents. This ended up being 10x cheaper than dual zoning and works a 100 times better. This guy is so smart, he must have a Ph.D. in HVAC!!! Thank you Fedor and I can’t recommend this team highly enough!!!”

“Working with David and NUR was a wonderful experience. I changed out my gas water heater to a heat pump and my gas furnace to a more efficient one. David was exceptionally patient while I took over 6 months to decide on a system and never rushed me or pushed me to spend more money. In fact, when I changed my mind to a much less expensive system AFTER I already signed a contract and he had submitted a permit application, he completely supported my decision and didn’t act at all annoyed. After the units were both installed, he presented me a bill that was actually less than what he initially quoted because of different hardware used and a rebate he was able to get. His honesty is so refreshing. The work was done efficiently and the workspace was always kept clean when they left for the day. I continue with the high praises of this company and heartily recommend them!”

“Our old A/C unit went out (dramatically spewing coolant everywhere) in the middle of summer. We contacted Nur HVAC and got them to come take a look at the situation. They recommended replacing our old furnace with a new heat pump along with the new A/C unit. It took a few weeks for a permit, but then they scheduled the job promptly. It was very labor intensive...removing the old equipment, building a new platform with plywood, installing everything. It took 3 full days, but they did an excellent job and cleaned everything up completely when they were finished. The system looks and works so much better now. Workers were polite and respectful. Would definitely recommend.”
