What factors affect the cost of a heat pump install?
- Efficiency of the unit: The more efficient a heat pump is, the better it is at keeping your energy bills down. And unlike ACs and furnaces which provide seasonal savings, an efficient heat pump saves you money all year long. That's one of the reasons our customers love heat pumps, and we're happy to help you find one that reduces your bills and stays within budget.
- Size of the unit: Heat pump size is measured by its tonnage, and the most important factor in sizing a heat pump is home size. Heat pump size and heat pump cost go up together, so a bigger heat pump always costs more than a smaller one. That said, you wouldn't want a heat pump that's too big or too small for your home anyway, because it wastes a ton of energy and decreases system lifespan.
- Home renovations: New heat pumps sometimes require renovations to a home. The most common renovations involve repairing or installing new ductwork, extending a home's plumbing to the new system, or installing new electrical wiring. The good news is we have service divisions that can help with all of it, so you won't need to juggle multiple contractors.

Customer Review
Had a crew out the next day to install...
Corbin M. came by because we were debating repairing our current heat pump system or replacing it. Corbin explained the pros and cons of each choice and listened to our concerns. In the end we decided that we'd replace our heat pump and Corbin was able to provide us with a great value, and had a crew out the next day to install. We had a couple rooms that were always hotter or colder that the rest of the house, so Corbin provided a cost effective solution to resolve that issue. —Ryan T.
