Residential Heating Pump Installation FAQs


  • How much does a heat pump cost?

    A heat pump is an energy-efficient way to keep your home comfortable during all seasons. A typical installation costs $2,000-$3,500, depending on size, location, and other factors. The average annual operating cost is about $100 per year.

  • What do I need to know before installing a heat pump?

    Before purchasing a heat pump, be sure that you understand how they work. It would be best to consider the space available in your house and where you plan to install them. Some homes may not be suitable for this type of heating system.

  • Can I use my existing ductwork with a heat pump?

    Yes, but there are some limitations. Most heat pumps require at least one return air vent in the attic. This requirement means you must remove the ceiling panel above the return air vent. There must also be room for the unit to slide into place.

  • Do I need to replace my furnace?

    No. Many homeowners install heat pumps instead of replacing their old furnaces. They save money and enjoy the convenience of having a new, more efficient heating system.

  • Are heat pumps safe?

    Yes. Heat pumps operate just like any other appliance. However, their design helps to protect against extreme temperatures. When used correctly, heat pumps are incredibly safe. 

  • Is a heat pump better than a gas heater?

    Both heat pumps and gas heaters are very effective ways to heat your home. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Heat pumps provide comfort and efficiency, while gas heaters offer warmth without electricity. In addition, heat pumps are less expensive to run.

  • How long does a heat pump last?

    The life expectancy of a heat pump depends on many factors, including the age of the equipment; the number of hours the equipment runs each day; the temperature outside; and the quality of the materials used in the construction of the unit.
