Here's Exactly What Happens During Installation

First, we assess your home’s heating and cooling needs. This isn’t a quick walkthrough—we calculate the right size system based on your home’s square footage, insulation, windows, and layout. Getting this wrong means higher bills and comfort problems.

Next, we handle the installation itself. This includes positioning the outdoor unit where it won’t be damaged by snow or debris, running refrigerant lines properly, and connecting everything to your existing electrical system. We test everything before we leave.

Finally, we walk you through how your new system works. You’ll know how to adjust settings for maximum efficiency and what to expect during different seasons. Most homeowners see their first energy savings within the first month.

What's Included in Professional Installation

You get proper system sizing based on your home’s actual needs, not guesswork. This matters more than most people realize—an oversized system wastes energy and doesn’t control humidity well, while an undersized system can’t keep up when you need it most.

The installation includes positioning your outdoor unit where it won’t get buried in snow or damaged by falling ice. In Massachusetts, this placement can make the difference between a system that works reliably and one that gives you problems every winter.

We handle all electrical connections, refrigerant line installation, and system testing. Everything is done to manufacturer specifications and local codes. You get a system that’s ready to work efficiently from day one, with no surprises down the road.

Most heat pump installations take one full day, though complex installations or older homes might require additional time. We start early and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your routine. The timeline depends on factors like whether electrical upgrades are needed, the accessibility of installation areas, and weather conditions. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during our initial assessment and keep you updated if anything changes. Our goal is to complete your installation properly without rushing through important steps that affect long-term performance.
Modern heat pumps are designed to work efficiently even when temperatures drop below freezing. Today’s cold-climate heat pumps can provide reliable heating down to -15°F or lower, which covers the vast majority of winter days in the Freetown area. During extreme cold snaps, the system may need backup heat, but this is rare and typically only for short periods. We select and size systems specifically for New England weather conditions, so you get reliable comfort throughout the heating season without the energy costs of traditional electric heat.
Most homeowners see 30-50% reductions in heating and cooling costs compared to traditional systems, though your exact savings depend on what you’re replacing and how you use your system. Heat pumps are significantly more efficient than electric baseboard heat, oil furnaces, or older central air systems. The biggest savings typically come during shoulder seasons when the heat pump can maintain comfort using much less energy than conventional systems. We can estimate your potential savings based on your current energy usage and the system we recommend for your home.
Heat pump sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation levels, window efficiency, ceiling height, and layout—not just the total area. A proper load calculation considers all these factors plus local climate conditions to determine the right capacity. Oversized systems waste energy and don’t control humidity well, while undersized systems can’t maintain comfort during extreme weather. During our assessment, we perform detailed calculations to recommend the system size that will keep you comfortable efficiently. This upfront work prevents problems and ensures you get the energy savings you expect.
Existing ductwork can often be used for heat pump installation, but we inspect it first to ensure it’s properly sized and sealed. Heat pumps move air differently than traditional furnaces, so ductwork that worked adequately before might need modifications for optimal performance. Common issues include undersized return ducts, air leaks, or poor insulation in unconditioned spaces. We’ll identify any necessary ductwork improvements during our assessment and explain how they affect system efficiency. Minor duct modifications are often worthwhile investments that improve comfort and energy savings.
Heat pumps need regular filter changes and annual professional maintenance to operate efficiently and last their expected lifespan. You’ll change filters every 1-3 months depending on usage and air quality. Professional maintenance includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical connections, and ensuring proper airflow. During winter, you may need to clear snow and ice from around the outdoor unit. Our Dempsey Comfort Club members get priority scheduling for maintenance visits and reminders when service is due. Proper maintenance prevents most problems and keeps your energy savings consistent year after year.
