Many Woodbury, MN homeowners replacing an aging furnace and AC are switching to a single heat pump instead, and the reason is efficiency. A heat pump does not burn fuel or heat a resistance coil; it moves heat. In cooling mode it carries heat out of the house, and in heating mode a reversing valve sends the refrigerant the other way so the compressor gathers heat from outdoor air and releases it indoors. That lets it deliver two to three times more heat than the electricity it consumes. Modern cold-climate equipment with inverter-driven compressors keeps working well below freezing, which the older units behind the technology's old reputation simply could not do.
Our two most requested repairs are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. That's the place to start if you need a fix today.
Warning Signs for Heat Pump Installation
Catching these issues early helps you avoid costly problems. Here are the most common indicators that it's time to call a professional:
- Uneven temperatures year-round with the equipment you have now
- You are tired of temperature swings and want steady, even comfort
- Solar on the roof, or plans for it, and a goal of going all-electric
- Your AC and furnace are both aging and you would rather replace once, not twice
- An older system that only survives on refrigerant top-offs and major repairs
- Your utility offers rebates that favor heat pump conversions
- You would like a single system for heating and cooling with one maintenance plan
- You heat with electric resistance, propane, or oil and the bills show it
