Transparent pricing, the way it should be.
No call-center markups, no commission pitch, no guess-the-price games. Here's exactly how we price a job — and the honest factors that move your number up or down.
The owner quotes it — in person
Sam comes to your home and prices the job himself. You never get a commission salesperson.
Flat & upfront
You get one clear number before any work starts. The price we quote is the price you pay.
No surprise upsells
We recommend what your home actually needs — not what pads a ticket. Anything new, you approve first.
Financing with Wisetack
Financing up to $25,000 with interest-free options — a soft credit check that won't affect your score, and a decision in seconds.
What actually affects your price
Every home is different, so we don't post fake sticker prices. Pick a service to see the real things that shape the number — then Sam gives you an exact, honest quote in person.
Heat Pump
All-electric heating + cooling in one system — the Peninsula's electrification workhorse.
Typical Peninsula installed range
- Ducted central heat pump$12,000–$25,000+
Whole-home comfort using or upgrading existing ductwork.
Typical Peninsula installed range, before rebates or financing — not a Plum quote. Your exact number comes from Sam in person, in writing.
What shapes your number
- How many square feet you're heating and cooling (this sets the system size).
- Whether your existing ductwork can be reused, sealed, or needs replacing.
- Your electrical panel capacity — most Peninsula homes don't need an upgrade.
- The Mitsubishi equipment line and efficiency (SEER2 / HSPF2) you choose.
- Permits, Title 24 paperwork, and inspection — handled for you.
Across the whole product range: Peninsula HVAC and heat-pump projects span roughly $5,000–$25,000+ installed depending on the system, home, and scope (see the per-service ranges above where we've published them). That's a directional band, not a Plum quote — your real, all-in number comes from Sam in person, in writing.
The price we quote is the price you pay.

Straight answers about cost
How much does a new HVAC or heat pump system cost in the Bay Area?
⌄
It depends on your home — square footage, ductwork, the equipment you choose, and your electrical panel all move the number. Typical Peninsula installed ranges we've published: a single-zone ductless mini split runs about $5,000–$9,000, a multi-zone ductless (2–4 zones) about $10,000–$20,000+, and a ducted central heat pump about $12,000–$25,000+ — all before rebates or financing, and none of them a Plum quote. Rather than post a fake sticker price, Plum's owner Sam gives you an exact, all-in number in person, in writing.
Does Plum HVAC charge for a quote?
⌄
No. Sam, the owner, comes to your home and prices the job himself — for free, with no obligation and no commission salesperson. If you already have a quote from someone else, we'll give you a free second opinion on it too.
Will the price change after you start the work?
⌄
No. That's our Honest Price Guarantee: the price we quote is the price you pay. We recommend only what your home actually needs, and if anything genuinely changes mid-job, you approve it before we proceed — no surprise upsells.
Do you offer financing?
⌄
Yes. We offer Wisetack financing up to $25,000 with a soft credit check that won't affect your score and interest-free options if you qualify, so you can spread the cost out and still get the system your home needs.
