The service
What heat pump hvac conversion is, what a visit covers and where the line is.
The short answer
A heat pump HVAC conversion replaces a gas furnace and air conditioner with one electric system that heats and cools. Heat Pump HVAC Conversion in Burlingame is booked through pros who cover its 1 ZIP codes, in neighborhoods such as Burlingame Park, Easton Addition, and Ray Park. In Burlingame, the dry season from late spring to fall is the easiest time for outside work, and the fall calendar fills before the first big rain. On NorTech, each pro puts their own price and warranty on the conversion, and you choose who does it.

What is not part of heat pump hvac conversion
Knowing where the line is keeps the visit on track and keeps you safe. When a job belongs to a specialist, NorTech tells you before you book.
- Any job where labor and materials together reach $1,000 or more is done by a licensed contractor. A full conversion always reaches that, so the pro you choose holds the license.
- Panel replacement, service upgrades and new wiring beyond the equipment circuit are licensed electrician work.
- Full duct replacement, new duct systems for ductless homes and attic or crawlspace rebuilds are scoped separately.
- Insulation, air sealing and window work that reduce the load. Those are separate services.
- Gas line removal beyond a safe cap, and any plumbing for gas appliances elsewhere.
- Guarantees of lower bills, comfort at a specific outdoor temperature or a rebate approval.

Before you book heat pump hvac conversion
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Start with a load calculation
Ask each pro to size the system with a room-by-room calculation instead of replacing the old unit size. Oversized equipment short-cycles and undersized equipment never catches up.
Photograph the equipment and the panel
Take pictures of the furnace label, the condenser label, the thermostat and your electrical panel with its door open. They tell the pro a lot before the visit.
Write down your comfort problems
List rooms that are too cold, too hot or noisy. Duct and airflow problems show up there, and they are worth solving during the conversion.
Decide on backup heat before quotes
Think about whether you want electric strips, a gas furnace kept for the coldest days, or no backup. Each choice changes equipment, electrical work and gas plumbing.
Check with your HOA or landlord
Exterior equipment and gas removal often need permission. Confirm early so the plan is not stopped at the last step.
Ask how rebates are handled
Programs have their own rules for equipment ratings and documents. Ask the pro which paperwork they provide, and check the current terms with the program administrator yourself.
