Upgrading your home’s heating system to a heat pump is a great choice for energy efficiency and environmental reasons. Heat pumps provide heating and cooling, making them a great choice for year-round comfort. When choosing a new heat pump system, hiring a professional HVAC technician is imperative to ensure your new system is installed safely, reliably, and efficiently.
What Is a Heat Pump?
Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling using natural resources to curb energy consumption. During the winter months, your heat pump pulls cold air out of your home, replacing it with heat drawn from the ground and created during the system’s operation. In the summer, the heat pump pulls hot air out of the house and replaces it with cold air drawn from the ground, which is created using refrigerant. Heat pump systems consist of an outdoor unit that connects to the indoor fan unit.
Specialized Knowledge and Skills
Our trained technicians know all about heat pumps, how they work, and how to install them best. This knowledge ensures that your new pump fits your home comfort needs and is precisely placed, securely connected, and safe for home heating and cooling. Without this advanced knowledge, you could have failures and malfunctions, creating an uncomfortable or even dangerous situation.
Proper Tools and Equipment
As a premier heating and cooling company, we have an assortment of specialized tools and equipment. These supplies help us install heat pumps efficiently and properly without multiple trips to the hardware store. Most homeowners do not have these special tools, making it a struggle, if not impossible, to install a heat pump properly alone.
Safety
Your new heat pump requires electricity for operation. The electrical wiring must be carefully connected to prevent performance and safety concerns. An improperly wired heat pump raises the risk of electrical fires and shock, damaging your home and belongings and injury to yourself. Our technicians are experts in wiring heat pumps, enabling us to install the new system with care and safety in mind.
Code Compliance
Most cities and states have regulations and special codes for installing heating systems. Our technicians are highly trained and up to date on all local codes, ensuring we install your new heat pump according to these regulations and standards. Without professional help, you could miss certain aspects of installation, leading to noncompliance that could result in fines and a hefty cost to still call in a professional to fix it.
Warranty Protection
New heating and cooling units often come with a manufacturer’s warranty. This warranty covers certain parts and components of the system if they break down or wear out prematurely. When you install the heat pump system yourself, you risk voiding this warranty. A warranty could save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars, which you’ll pay from your own pocket if you don’t hire a professional to install your new heat pump.
Insurance Requirements
Homeowners’ insurance policies usually cover damage caused by faulty systems, such as electrical fires and electrical surges. However, if you skip the professionals and install your new heat pump yourself, your insurance company may not be so inclined to cover damages if they find that the system wasn’t properly installed. Hiring a professional HVAC technician for heat pump installation will help avoid insurance denial and drastically reduce the risk of these damages in the first place.
