What is a Heat Pump?
A heat pump is similar to an air conditioner because it moves heat using refrigerant. In an air conditioner, heat is pulled out of the air and into the refrigerant to produce cold air while the hot refrigerant cools back off in your outdoor unit.
A heat pump can achieve the same effect and reverse this process to provide heating. It will condense heat from the air outside — even when it’s cold — and then distribute it into your home. Because a heat pump doesn’t create heat but moves it, it can exceed 100% efficiency at above-freezing temperatures.
Heat Pump Installation & Replacement
If it’s time to upgrade your HVAC equipment for enhanced efficiency and comfort, a new heat pump is an excellent investment. Modern heat pumps are far more efficient and consistent at lower temperatures than their predecessors, making them a great investment to replace your air conditioner and furnace.
Of course, as with any HVAC technology, it’s important to have your unit selected carefully and installed precisely by trained professionals. The result is the most efficient, reliable, and effective heating and cooling that will last for years to come.

Heat Pump Maintenance
Your heat pump requires regular maintenance to maintain a long service life. Because heat pumps are used year-round for heating and cooling, they need tune-ups twice a year: once in the fall for heating and once in the spring for cooling.
During your heat pump tune-up, we’ll:
- Clean the system’s cabinet and blower fan
- Check refrigerant levels and pressures
- Replace the air filter
- Inspect all electrical connections for safety
- Evaluate the condition of the evaporation and condenser coils
- Test and start the unit to verify efficient operation

Frequently Asked Questions
Can heat pumps work in below-freezing temperatures?
Yes, but as temperatures drop, a heat pump must expend more energy to gather heat from the outside air.
While heat pumps are still the most energy-efficient HVAC option, they won’t have the same exceptional energy efficiency that they offer at higher temperatures.
Will a heat pump reduce utility costs?
In most cases, you should expect a heat pump well-suited to your home to reduce your utility expenses. Unmatched heating efficiency can dramatically impact how much energy is used. It’s important to have a professional match your home to the right system and install it properly to see these benefits.
What makes heat pumps more environmentally friendly?
Heat pumps use less energy overall than other electric or gas heating systems. They also don’t produce byproducts like a gas or oil furnace.
