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If your current thermostat is outdated or incompatible with your new heat pump, upgrading to a smart or programmable thermostat can improve efficiency.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 a massive water leak at 7:00 pm two nights ago, literally right after having our crawl space professionally encapsulated. We made one phone call to Ted’s and Nathan and Levi were there within an hour. Not only did they get there quickly, they also shared multiple options with me and were able to get my water back on in no time. I have them coming back in two weeks to install a water filtration system. Thank you Levi and Nathan for the 5 star experience.
