Why Choose a Heat Pump for Your Mt. Lebanon Home?

Heat pumps transfer ambient air or ground heat into your living spaces, providing both warm-air heating in winter and cool-air conditioning in summer. Compared with traditional furnaces and central air systems, modern heat pumps:

• Operate with up to 300% energy efficiency, cutting utility bills significantly.
• Deliver precise temperature control and consistent indoor comfort.
• Reduce carbon footprint by leveraging electricity rather than fossil fuels.
• Perform reliably in Mt. Lebanon’s winter lows down to 20°F (air-source) or lower (geothermal).

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does a heat pump installation take?

A: Most air-source and mini-split installations are completed in one full day. Geothermal projects requiring ground loops can span 2–4 days, depending on site conditions.

Q: Will my electric bill increase after installing a heat pump?

A: Modern heat pumps typically lower total energy costs by up to 30% compared to electric resistance heating. Exact savings depend on system efficiency, local electricity rates, and usage patterns.

Q: How often does a heat pump require maintenance?

A: We recommend semi-annual tune-ups—one before cooling season and one before heating season—to maintain peak performance, protect warranties, and extend equipment lifespan. Our Maintenance Plans include priority scheduling and discounted service rates.

Q: Can a heat pump operate in extreme cold?

A: Air-source models perform efficiently down to 20°F, and many “cold-climate” units extend operation to 0°F. Geothermal systems maintain consistent output regardless of outdoor temperature.

Q: What warranties are available?

A: Standard manufacturer warranties range from 5 to 10 years on compressors and parts. We offer extended protection plans to ensure long-term coverage and labor protection.
