Energy Efficient Heat Pump Installation

What You Get With Professional Installation

Your energy bills drop by 30-50% within the first month. No more fighting with thermostats or dealing with rooms that are too hot in summer and freezing in winter.

Heat pumps work differently than your old system. They move heat instead of creating it, which means they use a fraction of the energy while keeping your home comfortable year-round. You’ll notice the difference immediately – consistent temperatures, quieter operation, and utility bills that actually make sense.

The best part? Modern heat pumps handle New England winters just fine. They’re designed to work efficiently even when temperatures drop below freezing, so you stay warm without the massive heating bills that come with oil or electric heat.

Heat Pump Installation Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

We start with an honest assessment of your home’s heating and cooling needs. This isn’t a sales pitch – it’s a technical evaluation to determine the right size and type of heat pump for your space.

Once we’ve designed the system, installation typically takes one to two days depending on your home’s setup. We handle all the electrical work, refrigerant lines, and connections. The indoor unit goes where your old air handler was, and the outdoor unit gets positioned for optimal efficiency and minimal noise.

After installation, we test everything thoroughly and walk you through the new system. You’ll know how to operate it, what to expect, and when to call us for routine maintenance. Most customers see immediate improvements in comfort and energy usage.

Complete Heat Pump Installation Service

Everything Included in Your Installation

Your installation includes the complete heat pump system – indoor and outdoor units, all refrigerant lines, electrical connections, and thermostat setup. We handle permits, inspections, and any necessary electrical upgrades.

Westwood homes often need specific considerations due to their age and construction. We account for things like existing ductwork modifications, proper drainage for condensate, and optimal placement for both efficiency and neighborhood aesthetics.

You also get access to our Dempsey Comfort Club, which provides priority service scheduling and maintenance reminders. Heat pumps are reliable, but like any mechanical system, they perform best with regular attention. We make that easy to manage.

Most homeowners see 30-50% reductions in their heating and cooling costs after switching to a heat pump. The exact savings depend on what you’re replacing and how you currently heat your home. If you’re coming from oil heat or electric baseboard, the savings are typically dramatic. Even replacing an older gas furnace usually results in noticeable cost reductions. The key is proper sizing and installation – an oversized or undersized system won’t deliver optimal efficiency. We calculate potential savings based on your current usage and the specific heat pump model recommended for your home.
Yes, modern heat pumps are designed specifically for cold climates like ours. Today’s cold-climate heat pumps work efficiently down to -15°F and can provide heat even at -25°F. The technology has improved dramatically over the past decade. These aren’t the heat pumps from the 1980s that struggled in cold weather. Current models use variable-speed compressors and advanced refrigerants that extract heat from outdoor air even when it feels freezing to us. Many Westwood homeowners have successfully replaced oil and gas systems with heat pumps and stayed comfortable through multiple winters.
Most installations take one to two days, depending on your home’s setup and whether any electrical upgrades are needed. Simple replacements where we’re swapping out an existing system might be completed in a day. More complex installations that require new electrical service, extensive ductwork modifications, or challenging outdoor unit placement can take two days. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the initial assessment. The actual installation process is less disruptive than most homeowners expect – you’ll have heat and cooling throughout most of the process, and we clean up completely when finished.
Heat pump sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation levels, window types, and how many people live there. It’s not just about square footage – a 2,000 square foot home with poor insulation needs a different system than the same size home with good insulation. We perform a detailed load calculation that considers your home’s specific characteristics. Proper sizing is critical because an oversized system cycles on and off too frequently, reducing efficiency and comfort. An undersized system runs constantly and struggles to maintain temperature. This is why we always do an in-home assessment rather than giving estimates over the phone.
In most cases, yes. Heat pumps can replace furnaces, boilers, and air conditioning systems. If you have existing ductwork, we can often use it with modifications. Homes with radiators or baseboard heating require more extensive work to add ductwork, but it’s still possible in most situations. The key considerations are your home’s electrical service (heat pumps need adequate electrical supply), space for the outdoor unit, and indoor space for the air handler. We evaluate all these factors during the initial assessment and explain your options clearly. Some homeowners choose to keep their existing furnace as backup heat, which is also a viable approach.
Heat pumps need regular filter changes and annual professional maintenance, similar to any HVAC system. You’ll change filters every 1-3 months depending on usage and filter type. Professional maintenance includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical connections, and ensuring proper airflow. The outdoor unit needs occasional cleaning to remove debris, leaves, and snow buildup. Most maintenance is straightforward, but the refrigerant system requires professional attention. Our Dempsey Comfort Club makes this easy with scheduled maintenance reminders and priority service. Well-maintained heat pumps typically last 15-20 years and maintain their efficiency throughout their lifespan.
