NEON Heating & Cooling provides heat pump installation in San Francisco, including ductless and ducted systems and conversions from gas furnaces to heat pumps. We’ll help you choose the right system for your home, comfort needs, and budget. Call us or book online for a free in-home estimate.
NEON installs ductless and ducted heat pumps in San Francisco homes. Before we recommend a system, we visit your home to review the space, existing equipment, ductwork, and electrical setup. We handle the project from start to finish, including:
You’ll receive a clear written estimate for your heat pump installation in San Francisco before work begins. If your project needs ductwork changes, electrical upgrades, or other non-standard work, we’ll explain it upfront and include it in your proposal. NEON is a licensed California contractor (CSLB #1156494). Our technicians who handle refrigerant are EPA Section 608-certified.
Three things shape the scope of a heat pump installation in San Francisco, CA: system size, your electrical panel, and your ductwork. We review all three during the estimate.
We use a Manual J calculation to find the right system size for your home. It takes into account your home's size, insulation, windows, and air leaks. We also look at the layout, sun exposure, and local weather to make sure your system can heat and cool your home properly.
An oversized system can short-cycle, turning on and off too often. That can affect comfort and put added wear on the equipment.
We assess electrical capacity as part of every residential heat pump installation. Some older San Francisco homes have 100-amp electrical service, but a 100-amp panel does not automatically need an upgrade.
We evaluate your home’s electrical load and available panel capacity first. If the existing service cannot safely support the new equipment, we’ll explain the required electrical work and quote it separately after the assessment.
If your home already has ductwork, we check it for leaks, sizing, and insulation. Properly sized, sealed ducts in good condition can often be reused.
If ducts are undersized or damaged, we can repair, modify, or replace them. Any recommended ductwork work will be listed separately in your proposal.
We handle heat pump installation in San Francisco, along with ductwork, electrical work, permits, and system testing in one coordinated project.
You’ll get straightforward options and a written proposal before work begins. If additional work is needed, we explain it upfront.
Our team is available 24/7 to take your call. Scheduling depends on technician availability and your project scope.

Here’s what to expect from heat pump installation in the Bay Area, from the first visit through final testing.
Our team looks at your current system, ductwork, insulation, and electrical setup. A Manual J calculation helps determine the right system size for your home.
We’ll walk you through ducted and ductless options, single- or multi-zone setups, and features that fit your budget. Then you’ll get a clear written proposal with the work included, expected cost, and any recommended ductwork or electrical upgrades.
NEON handles applicable San Francisco permit filing and coordinates required inspections. We’ll also help identify available rebate programs and provide the project documentation needed for your application.
For heat pump installation in San Francisco, we install the indoor and outdoor units and complete any needed ductwork or electrical work. We protect your home and clean up the work area when we’re done. A single-zone system usually takes one day. Multi-zone and more complex projects may take longer.
We test the system, confirm proper refrigerant charge, check airflow, and make sure the thermostat is working correctly. Then we show you how to use your new heat pump and answer any questions before we leave.
If your project requires a city inspection, we coordinate it as part of the permit process. For standard replacements, we also remove and haul away the old equipment.
Heat pump installation cost in California varies by home, system type, and project scope. For NEON projects in San Francisco:
Standard installation pricing includes the equipment, standard installation, system startup and testing. For a standard replacement, it also includes removal and haul-away of the old equipment. Additional electrical work, major ductwork changes, difficult access, roof work, limited equipment space, parking or loading needs, and permit requirements can affect the final cost. If your home needs a panel upgrade, it will be quoted separately after the assessment.
NEON handles applicable permits. Permit fees depend on the project and will be listed in your proposal when required. Financing is available for qualifying projects. We’ll provide a clear written estimate before work begins.
Eligible CleanPowerSF residential customers may receive $50 in monthly bill credits for 24 months, up to $1,200 total, when they replace existing gas heating or electric-resistance heating with a qualifying heat pump.

Our experience with Freon HVAC has been exceptional for a full panel upgrade to 200 amps and installation of a new Mitsubishi mini-split system in an old house. We took quotes from 4 different top rated hvac providers in the San Jose area, before deciding to go with Freon. I appreciated the honesty and detailed analysis of our needs by Slava when he first showed up to do an estimate. He asked a ton of questions, checked the house for existing setup, wiring, possibilities, and discussed multiple possibilities including ducted, gas, hybrid, and heat pump only. Once we decided to go with a specific type of configuration, he gave us multiple options. Their pricing was competitive and while it took forever for PGE to get to the wiring/transformer upgrade, Freon's team worked with them patiently to meet our needs. Special thanks to Jessica for regular follow ups with PGE and us. Once PGE scheduled the wiring upgrade (after 3 months), Freon's team was prompt and did a very clean install including all internal wiring and drainage work. They ensured city inspection was scheduled promptly and addressed all city concerns for a quick approval. I have not dealt with a more professional and competent crew in this area in a very long time. Would love to do business with them again.
Christopher LI usually doubt perfect 5-star ratings, but Freon completely earned theirs. My AC/heater combo unit broke, and every other company told me I needed a total replacement, quoting me between $9k and $12k. Freon came out to inspect it, and later that day, they gave me a quote for just $3,000 to repair it. I signed the contract that night, and they were back to do the work just 5 days later on June 19th. The tech replaced the compressor to get it running, but didn't stop there. He thoroughly tested the system, caught a power issue, and replaced the compressor relay and expansion valve to ensure the unit wouldn't break down again. Outstanding service. I'm finally set for the summer and winter. They deserve every single star!

NEON provides heat pump installation in San Francisco and nearby Bay Area communities, including ducted and ductless systems:
Replacing a gas furnace or old AC? Or adding heating and cooling to a home without ductwork? Book an in-home estimate, and we’ll review system sizing, your electrical panel, ductwork, and project cost before you decide.
NEON provides heat pump installation in San Francisco and throughout nearby Bay Area communities. There is no separate travel fee within our standard service area. Call (415) 915-9945 or book online.
A diagnostic visit with NEON costs $59, which goes toward the repair if you approve the work. The final price depends on the failed part, refrigerant requirements, and how easy the equipment is to access.
Heat pump lifespan depends on installation quality, usage, maintenance, and climate exposure. DOE uses about 15 years as an average lifespan in its cost calculations, but age alone does not determine when replacement is needed.
Coastal homes may see more corrosion from salt air. Contact NEON for heat pump repair in San Francisco to help assess whether repair or replacement makes sense.
Yes. We repair single-zone and multi-zone ductless mini-splits in San Francisco, including systems with airflow, electrical, control, and refrigerant problems.
We repair Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Carrier, Bosch, Trane, Rheem, Lennox, Goodman, York, and American Standard systems. Parts availability varies by brand, model, and age. If a part is no longer available, we’ll check the alternatives and explain your options.
Same-day service may be available, depending on our schedule, the problem, and the parts needed. Refrigerant work or hard-to-find parts can take longer. We’ll explain the timeline after checking your system.
If your system isn't heating your home properly, start with a few basic checks. Make sure the thermostat is set to Heat and the temperature is set higher than the current room temperature. A clogged air filter or tripped circuit breaker could also be the cause. Keep in mind that a heat pump may briefly blow cool air during a defrost cycle. That's normal. But if the heating problem persists or the breaker keeps tripping, schedule a diagnostic visit.
If your heat pump isn't cooling properly, start by checking the thermostat and air filter. Set the thermostat to Cool and make sure the temperature is below the current room temperature. A dirty filter or restricted airflow may be causing the issue. Other possible causes include refrigerant leaks, electrical problems, or faulty fans and compressors. Still getting warm air? If the problem continues or your system keeps shutting off, contact NEON for heat pump service in San Francisco.
