Doylestown’s Go-To Heat Pump Specialists
We can help you look at different types of heat pumps available. This includes the more commonly used air-source heat pump and the exciting options among geothermal models. There are also ductless mini-split versions that are great for homes without ductwork or in additions.
What Heat Pump Installation Typically Involves
Our technicians first have to determine the heating and cooling requirements of your house. Proper sizing ensures that the heat pump performs correctly for the square footage. This, in turn, keeps your house comfortable by maintaining regular cycles. It also maintains efficiency.
If you’re looking for a system with a backup heating source, we will also find an option that’s compatible with your planned setup. A secondary heating source can be helpful on bitterly cold nights, when heat pump efficiency drops.
We are also happy to address questions about possible heat pump replacement work. A heat pump typically delivers 10-15 years of performance before a replacement is necessary. At their best, heat pumps deliver heating efficiency in the 200-400% range. Likewise, they deliver cooling efficiency comparable to that of a modern air conditioner.
Homeowners should consider replacing a heat pump once certain issues appear.
- Repairs occur more frequently than once every two years
- Efficiency falls below beneficial levels
- Inconsistent temperatures
- Poor airflow
You may also want to consider replacing a heat pump that uses the older R-22 refrigerant. An industry phase-out is happening currently. Newer refrigerants are more eco-friendly and tend to deliver better efficiency.
