Heat Pump Installation

Whether it’s replacing your current heat pump or you’ve thought about making the switch over to a heat pump from a conventional HVAC system, we can provide the best solution for you. Traditional heat pump systems are paired as a split system with an electric air handler as the indoor unit. In this instance, your heat pump would be your first stage of heat with the electric heat being the backup or second stage of heat. Having a dual-fuel (heat pump paired with a gas or propane furnace) may also be an option depending on the utilities available. Making sure you understand how the new equipment is designed to operate while also fitting your needs is important to us as an installer and service team.

As of 2023, the mandatory efficiency rating for a heat pump is 15 SEER increasing from the previous 14 SEER per government regulations. The new standard unit will provide even more efficiency than the more basic models that came before it.When the homeowner is ready to move forward with installing a new heat pump, we typically install the same sized (tonnage) unit unless the old system is under or oversized for the house. In the case of resizing the new heat pump and evaporator coil, the ductwork/electrical capability of the current system would have to be checked to properly support the new heat pump system. We will make sure the current air filtration system will allow for longevity of the new equipment before completing our install.  Maintaining a heat pump is just like that of a traditional air conditioner. The outdoor condenser coils should be cleaned at least once a year and it requires a clean air filter at the indoor unit like a typical HVAC system.
