Overview

What Is Heat Pump Installation?

Heat pump installation replaces a separate furnace and AC setup, or an aging heat pump, with a single system built to handle both heating and cooling efficiently. For many Edmonston, MD homeowners, a heat pump is an appealing option because it consolidates two systems into one and can significantly lower energy use. Installation involves correctly sizing the unit for both heating and cooling loads, which differ from a standard AC-only calculation.

Why It Matters

Is a Heat Pump Right for Your Home?

A heat pump sized only for cooling load, without accounting for winter heating demand, will struggle to keep your home comfortable during the coldest stretches of the year. Improper installation of the reversing valve or defrost controls leads to performance issues that show up months after the job is done, when they are harder to trace back to installation. Choosing the wrong system for Edmonston, MD's climate can also mean relying heavily on backup heat, which erodes the efficiency gains a heat pump is supposed to provide.
