Heat Pump Installation in San Jose, CA
Full-service heat pump installation in San Jose and across the Bay Area – for homes and businesses. Starting from $9,600 after available rebates and incentives.
The Most Efficient Way to Heat and Cool Your Bay Area Home
A heat pump moves heat rather than generates it – which is why it runs up to three times more efficiently than a traditional gas furnace and AC combo, replacing both systems in one unit. The mild Bay Area climate is ideal for this technology: consistent comfort year-round with significantly lower monthly energy bills. And when installed by a certified contractor, a heat pump qualifies for state and local rebates that can cover a substantial part of the installation cost.
Ozone Service installs heat pumps across San Jose, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, and the greater Bay Area – handling system selection, installation, and any electrical work under one contract, with a warranty up to 12 years on parts and labor.
What You Get
Every heat pump installation we complete includes the following – not as add-ons, but as standard scope:
Load Calculation
We calculate the exact heating and cooling load for your home before selecting equipment. An oversized system short-cycles and wears out faster. An undersized system runs constantly and never reaches setpoint. Correct sizing is the single most important factor in long-term performance.
Ductwork Assessment
Existing ductwork is inspected for leaks, sizing, and airflow balance. If ducts are undersized or damaged, we redesign and replace – the way we did on a full system upgrade in Redwood City, where old undersized ducts were removed and new ductwork was designed for correct CFM room by room.
Electrical Panel Check
Heat pumps draw significantly more power than gas furnaces. We assess your existing panel during the estimate. If an upgrade is needed, our licensed electricians handle it in-house – no subcontractors, no split accountability.
Permits & City Inspection
Every installation is permitted through the relevant city or county building department. We schedule and pass all inspections before the job is closed out. Our inspection pass rate across San Jose and the Peninsula is 100%.
System Commissioning
After installation, we verify refrigerant charge, airflow, thermostat calibration, and system operation before we leave. This is where most shortcuts get taken – and where long-term reliability is either built or lost.
Up to 12-Year Warranty
Parts and labor, in writing. If something fails within the warranty period, we fix it – no diagnostic fees, no labor charges.

What a Heat Pump Actually Costs After Incentives
The gross cost of a heat pump installation is only part of the picture. Bay Area homeowners have access to three stacking incentive programs that significantly reduce out-of-pocket cost.
We identify which programs apply to your project, ensure the installation meets all rebate program requirements, and handle the documentation. Most contractors don’t touch the paperwork – we do.

Rebate availability changes quickly and is often first-come, first-served or waitlisted. We calculate your exact eligibility and current stacking options as part of the free estimate – no guesswork, no surprises.
This Service May Cost Less Than You Think
Bay Area utility programs and state energy incentives may offset a significant portion of your cost. We check what applies to your home and handle all the paperwork – as part of your free estimate, at no charge.
From First Call to Final Inspection
Step 1
Free Estimate & System Assessment
We visit your home, assess the existing system, measure the space, and evaluate your ductwork and electrical panel. No charge, no obligation. You leave with a written scope and price.
Step 2
System Selection
We recommend the right system for your home – size, brand, and configuration – based on load calculation, not convenience. We work with Goodman, Daikin, Mitsubishi, Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Reclaim, and Sanden.
Step 3
Permits
We pull all required permits through the city or county building department before work begins. No permits means no inspection – and no inspection means no warranty enforcement if something goes wrong later.
Step 4
Installation
Most installations are completed in 1–2 days. Projects that include ductwork replacement or panel upgrades may take longer – we give you a specific timeline during the estimate.
Step 5
Inspection & Commissioning
City inspection is scheduled and completed before the job is closed out. We commission the system – verify refrigerant charge, airflow, and operation – and walk you through thermostat setup and maintenance basics.
Why Bay Area Homeowners Choose Us for Heat Pump Installation
HVAC and Electrical Under One Roof
Heat pump installation involves both HVAC and electrical work. When two separate contractors handle these scopes, accountability disappears the moment something goes wrong. Because Ozone Service is licensed in both trades, one team handles everything from start to finish - one contract, one warranty covers it all.
We Handle the Rebate Paperwork
Most HVAC contractors install the system and leave the rebate process to you. We've secured over $350,000 in rebates for Bay Area homeowners - because we know which programs apply, ensure the installation qualifies, and file all the documentation ourselves.
100% Inspection Pass Rate
Every installation we complete passes city inspection on the first attempt. That's not a coincidence – it's the result of pulling proper permits, sizing equipment correctly, and not cutting corners on refrigerant charge or electrical protection.
