Deliver More Warmth With a New Heat Pump

Heat pumps are increasingly being chosen as an alternative to traditional furnaces, particularly in smaller homes. Their energy efficiency, quiet operation, and enhanced air quality make them an attractive option.

When installing a new heat pump, it is important to collaborate with our certified technicians. Our team will conduct an initial assessment of your home to ensure that your space and ductwork are suitable for a heat pump system, and we will assist you in selecting a high-quality brand and model that fulfills all your home’s requirements.

If needed, our technicians will also evaluate whether an air handler addition should be installed with your heat pump to ensure warm air is distributed evenly throughout your home.

How Do Heat Pumps Work?

Heat pumps extract warm air from outside your home and bring it inside. Even though winter air in Minnesota might seem devoid of heat, it surprisingly contains some.

Since a heat pump merely circulates air without expending energy to heat it, it significantly reduces energy consumption, making it an economical appliance.

Heat pumps can also cool your home by extracting indoor heat and expelling it outside, functioning as a dual-purpose heating and cooling system.

Additionally, heat pumps come with an integrated air filtration system that can enhance indoor air quality more effectively than furnaces.

Are Heat Pumps More Expensive Than Furnaces?

The upfront installation cost might be comparable to or slightly higher than that of a conventional furnace installation, and our technicians will provide you with a precise estimate for your particular heat pump installation during our initial consultation.

How Long Does a Heat Pump Installation Take?

The size of the heat pump and its connection to your home's current ductwork and vents will determine the specifics. Besides the installation, our team will conduct performance tests to confirm everything functions properly.
