Heat Pumps—Ducted—Installation & Replacement

One system for winter heat and summer cooling. A heat pump moves heat instead of burning fuel: in winter it pulls gentle warmth from outdoor air and delivers it through your ducts; in summer it runs like an AC in reverse. Result—steady, quiet comfort across the whole home.

How it heats (in simple terms)

The outdoor unit absorbs heat from outside air, a reversing valve flips the flow for winter, and your indoor coil/air handler pushes warmed air through existing ductwork. In colder snaps, systems can use aux/backup heat (electric strips or a paired gas furnace in dual-fuel setups).

Types we install

• Ducted air-source heat pump—whole-home comfort using existing ducts.
• Cold-climate/inverter models—better performance in low outdoor temps.
• Dual-fuel (hybrid)—heat pump + gas furnace backup for rare, very cold days.
• Packaged heat pump—all-in-one cabinet for rooftops or ground pads.

(For room-by-room/ductless options, see our “Mini-Split Systems” page.)

Brands we install and service

Carrier/Bryant, Trane/American Standard, Lennox, Rheem/Ruud, York/Luxaire/Champion, Goodman/Amana, Bosch, Daikin. We recommend models based on your comfort goals, parts availability, and warranty support—and service all major brands.

When it’s a good fit

Electrification goals • You want fewer systems to maintain • Quieter, more even temperatures • Potential local rebates/incentives (varies by ZIP).
