Professional Heat Pump Installation
A heat pump installation often begins with an in-person consultation. It’s an opportunity to explore your options and answer any questions. We’ll perform a load calculation to determine your home’s precise heating and cooling needs.
Once we know the size, we can explore energy efficiency options in addition to the various configurations. Those include standalone heat pumps and dual-fuel heat pumps. Once you’ve made your choices, we’ll provide you with an accurate timeline and acquire the equipment. Our team will then carry out a personalized installation for your home.
There are many factors that will help determine your ideal heat pump system:
Floor plan
Cubic footage
Building envelope
Advanced features
Energy-efficiency ratings
Energy incentives and other promotions
When to Replace Your Heat Pump
Timing a heat pump replacement often comes down to the age of the system. The average heat pump lasts 15 years, but yours can last longer with proper maintenance. If you need a major repair, trusted brands like Lennox recommend the $5,000 rule.
Multiply the age of the system by the estimated cost of the repair. If the value is greater than $5,000, it’s time to replace it. You may also be experiencing performance and comfort issues that suggest it’s time for replacement. Those can include rising energy bills, poor airflow, and uneven heating/cooling.
Benefits of Upgrading to a New Heat Pump
Heat pumps are systems that provide both heating and cooling. There are both ducted and ductless systems available. You also have the option of advanced setups, such as hybrid heating and HVAC zoning.
In all of these configurations, heat pumps are dramatically more efficient than traditional heating options, like furnaces and boilers. That means your heating costs will be lower and the environmental impact of the system will be lower as well. You may also be eligible for incentives that help you recoup your investment sooner.

Heat Pump FAQs
Installing or replacing a heat pump is a big decision. Let’s explore several of the most common homeowner questions.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
A direct heat pump replacement generally takes about four hours. Conversion to a heat pump can take up to eight hours. Projects that take longer than that generally involve installing or replacing ductwork.
Can a heat pump replace my furnace and AC?
Yes, but there are several configurations to consider. Which is best for your home depends on a range of factors. If you choose a heat pump that can remain efficient throughout a Virginia winter, it is a direct replacement. An alternative option is a heat pump for primary heating and a furnace for auxiliary heating.
What size heat pump do I need for my home?
The average heat pump size in the region is between 3.0 and 3.5 tons. Your specific requirements depend on a wide range of factors. This is why we recommend a load calculation. We’ll account for floor plan, square footage, ceiling heights, building envelope, and more.
