What You Get With Proper Installation

Your home stays consistently comfortable without the temperature swings that come with poorly installed systems. You’ll see the difference in your energy bills within the first month, especially during those brutal Massachusetts winters when your old system used to work overtime.

A properly sized and installed heat pump means no more cold spots in certain rooms or that annoying cycle of too hot, then too cold. The system runs efficiently because it’s matched to your home’s actual heating and cooling needs, not just whatever size happened to be on the truck.

You get reliable heating when you need it most. No more worrying about your system failing during a February cold snap or scrambling to find emergency service when everyone else is calling too.

Here's How We Install Your System

First, we assess your home’s heating and cooling needs, looking at square footage, insulation, windows, and existing ductwork. This isn’t a quick glance and guess – proper sizing determines whether your system will work efficiently or struggle to keep up.

Next comes the installation planning. We determine the best location for your outdoor unit, considering noise, airflow, and accessibility for future maintenance. Inside, we ensure your existing ductwork can handle the new system or recommend necessary modifications.

Installation day involves careful placement of both indoor and outdoor components, proper refrigerant line installation, electrical connections, and thorough testing. We walk you through the new system’s operation and schedule any necessary follow-up to ensure everything’s running as it should.

What's Included In Your Installation

Your installation includes proper system sizing based on your home’s specific requirements, not generic estimates. We handle all electrical connections, refrigerant line installation, and integration with your existing ductwork or recommendations for necessary updates.

We also provide operation training so you understand how to get the most efficiency from your new system. Many Westport homeowners are surprised by how differently heat pumps operate compared to traditional furnaces, and knowing the basics helps you maximize your energy savings and comfort.

Most heat pump installations take 6-8 hours for a straightforward replacement, but it depends on your specific situation. If your existing ductwork needs modifications or electrical upgrades are required, it might extend to a full day or require a second visit. The outdoor unit placement and refrigerant line routing also affect timing – longer runs between indoor and outdoor units take more time to install properly. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe after assessing your home, and we’d rather take the time to do it right than rush and create problems later.
Modern heat pumps work well in Massachusetts winters, even when temperatures drop below freezing. Today’s cold-climate heat pumps are designed for northern climates and maintain efficiency down to around 5°F. Below that, most systems have backup electric heat that kicks in automatically. The key is proper sizing and installation – an undersized system will struggle in cold weather, while an oversized system won’t run efficiently. Many Westport homeowners are surprised by how well their heat pump performs compared to their old oil or gas furnace, especially considering the energy cost savings.
Many homes need some electrical work for heat pump installation, but it’s usually not a major upgrade. Heat pumps typically require a dedicated 240V circuit, and older homes might need panel upgrades or additional circuits installed. The electrical requirements depend on your heat pump’s size and your home’s existing electrical capacity. During the initial assessment, we’ll check your electrical panel and let you know what’s needed. Most electrical work can be coordinated with the installation, but it’s better to know upfront than discover issues halfway through the job.
Heat pumps need regular filter changes every 1-3 months depending on usage and your home’s dust levels. The outdoor unit should be kept clear of debris, snow, and vegetation that could block airflow. Annual professional maintenance includes checking refrigerant levels, cleaning coils, inspecting electrical connections, and testing system performance. This is where our Dempsey Comfort Club membership helps – regular maintenance prevents small issues from becoming expensive repairs and keeps your system running efficiently. Neglected heat pumps lose efficiency and have shorter lifespans, so staying on top of maintenance protects your investment.
Heat pumps move air differently than traditional furnaces, so ductwork sizing and design matter more than you might think. Undersized ducts create airflow restrictions that reduce efficiency and comfort. Leaky ductwork wastes energy and makes your system work harder. During the assessment, we’ll evaluate your ductwork’s condition, sizing, and layout to determine if modifications are needed. Sometimes it’s simple fixes like sealing leaks or adjusting dampers. Other times, sections might need resizing or rerouting. We’ll explain what’s needed and why – proper airflow is essential for heat pump performance and your comfort.
Energy savings depend on what you’re replacing and your home’s efficiency, but most Westport homeowners see 30-50% reduction in heating costs compared to oil or propane systems. Compared to electric baseboard heat, savings can be even higher. Heat pumps are typically 2-3 times more efficient than traditional heating methods because they move heat rather than create it. Your actual savings depend on factors like your home’s insulation, thermostat settings, and local energy rates. The first winter usually gives you the clearest picture of your new system’s efficiency, and many customers are pleasantly surprised by their lower energy bills.
