How Do I Know If I Need to Replace My Heat Pump?

If your heat pump is over 10–15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or struggles to maintain comfortable temperatures, it may be time for a replacement. Rising energy bills and unusual noises can also indicate that the system is wearing out. A professional evaluation can help determine whether a new heat pump is the best option for your home.

What Are the Benefits of Installing a New Heat Pump?

A new heat pump improves energy efficiency, reduces heating and cooling costs, and provides more consistent indoor comfort. Modern models offer advanced features like variable-speed compressors and smart thermostat compatibility. Upgrading can also reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns, saving you money on repairs.

How Long Does Heat Pump Installation Take?

Most heat pump installations are completed within one day, but the timeframe can vary depending on system complexity and home modifications. Factors like ductwork adjustments, electrical upgrades, or old system removal may extend the process. Our team ensures a smooth installation with minimal disruption to your home.

What Size Heat Pump Do I Need for My Home?

The correct heat pump size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, and climate. An undersized unit will struggle to maintain temperature, while an oversized one may cycle too frequently, reducing efficiency. A professional load calculation ensures you get the right system for optimal performance and energy savings.

Are Heat Pumps More Efficient Than Traditional HVAC Systems?

Yes, heat pumps are often more energy-efficient than traditional HVAC systems because they transfer heat instead of generating it. They provide both heating and cooling in one system, reducing overall energy use. High-efficiency models can significantly lower your utility bills while keeping your home comfortable year-round.

Do I Need to Replace My Thermostat When Installing a New Heat Pump?

If your current thermostat is outdated or incompatible with your new heat pump, upgrading to a smart or programmable thermostat can improve efficiency. Newer thermostats offer better temperature control and energy-saving features. Our technicians can install and program the best thermostat for your new system.

Will a New Heat Pump Work With My Existing Ductwork?

In many cases, a new heat pump can be integrated with your existing ductwork, but an inspection is needed to ensure proper fit and efficiency. Leaky or damaged ducts can reduce performance and increase energy costs. Our team evaluates your ductwork and makes necessary adjustments for optimal airflow.

What Should I Do to Prepare for Heat Pump Installation?

Clearing the area around your current HVAC system and ensuring easy access for technicians helps streamline the installation process. It’s also a good idea to discuss system preferences and efficiency goals with your installer beforehand. Our team takes care of all the heavy lifting, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free installation experience.

We had Omar out on 9/30 for our HVAC maintenance. The office kept us updated on his arrival and he let me know he was on his way, and was prompt, professional and friendly. He checked everything relating to our system, went over what he found with pictures, and gave us some info on how to improve our system, but without the heavy sales pitch you get from some companies. This visit didn’t cost us anything as we are part of a maintenance plan and it has saved us money and found issues in our other HVAC systems before they got bad. It’s definitely a good deal! We like Ted’s and have been customers for years now, and will always recommend them.

I had LJ coming for plumbing maintenance and he did a great job checking everything. He ended up identifying a leak in my water heater, which had to be replaced and promptly prepared a quote and offered to take care of the issue the same day. All with extreme professionalism and in a friendly way without pushing for anything. He ended up installing the new heater and did an excellent job keeping me updated about the progress and responding to my questions. On top of that he tested my water after I demonstrate interest in a filtration system for my house. He guided me through the process and explained that my water was within ideal levels for chlorine and some other parameters, reason why he thought a filtration system wasn't necessary, unless I really wanted one. Super pleased with the approach and customer focus. I will definitely recommend Ted's to everyone I know. Thanks LJ for your service and professionalism! Well done!

Updated Review 10/01/2025 Still a 5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Kendall came out today to quote the installation of an electric charger outdoors for our vehicle. Great attitude, respectful and very friendly. We had some other electrical issues we wanted checked. He was able to start the work today. Very pleased with his work ethic. Updated Review 5/15/24! Still a 5 ⭐️ We had LJ, Antonio and Bruce come to the house for maintenance. Customer service is great and they are very thorough. They had me walk with them as they went through the house to go over any questions or concerns we may have had. Customer service is top notch! We had a new TRANE HVAC system installed in our home and cleaning maintenance on our unit in the shed. Every employee that I have talked with has been very kind and knowledgeable. You can tell this is a good company to work for it shows in their employees! Thanks Chris and Brittany for great service and sending the right people here!
