Heat Pumps in San Francisco: what's different
Heat Pumps work in San Francisco follows the local climate. Heat pumps are common in mixed climates and run year-round. Many homes pair them with a gas furnace as a dual-fuel system for the coldest days.
A common San Francisco pattern: old wall and floor furnaces. Many homes still use decades-old gas wall or floor furnaces that need careful safety checks or replacement with heat pumps. Another: limited ductwork. Older homes often lack space for ducts, so ductless heat pumps are a common solution for heating and occasional cooling.
The heat pumps services San Francisco homeowners ask for most are heat Pump Installation. All-electric and dual-fuel systems, sized for your local climate.
The San Francisco Department of Building Inspection issues mechanical permits, and California requires HVAC contractors to hold a C-20 license from the Contractors State License Board. City rules and incentives favor all-electric heat pumps for new installs.
