Heat Pump Installation & Replacement

Most homes around Hickory, Morganton, Lenoir and Marion run on heat pumps, and for good reason — our winters are cold but not brutal, which is exactly where a heat pump earns its keep. The catch is that an undersized or badly installed heat pump leans on expensive backup heat all winter, and the homeowner pays for it every month on the power bill.

We install Goodman, Ruud and Bosch heat pumps, including variable-speed and inverter systems where the house makes sense for it. We size to the actual load, set the backup heat staging correctly, and verify the charge and airflow at startup. That is the difference between a heat pump that saves you money and one that just costs less to buy.
