EcoAirHVAC – Heat Pump Installation

 Most heat pump installations take one to two days, depending on your home’s layout and whether we’re replacing an existing system or installing a new one from scratch.

If ductwork or electrical upgrades are required, installation may take a bit longer—but we’ll always give you a clear timeline before work begins.

  The right heat pump size depends on factors like your home’s square footage, insulation, layout, and local climate.
At EcoAir, we perform an in-home assessment to calculate the proper system size using industry-standard load calculations—ensuring optimal comfort, efficiency, and performance year-round. 

 To keep your heat pump running efficiently, regular maintenance is key. We recommend scheduling an annual SystemCare check-up, which includes:

• Cleaning or replacing filters
   
• Checking refrigerant levels
   
• Inspecting coils, ducts, and electrical components
   
• Ensuring optimal system performance for both heating and cooling
   

Proper care helps extend the lifespan of your heat pump, improve energy efficiency, and prevent costly repairs down the line. Our SystemCare plan takes care of it all, so you don’t have to worry! 

 A heat pump is an energy-efficient heating and cooling system that works by transferring heat from one place to another. Unlike traditional heating systems that generate heat, heat pumps move heat, making them a more energy-efficient option.

How it works:

1. Heating Mode: In the winter, a heat pump extracts heat from the outside air (even in colder temperatures) and moves it indoors to heat your home.
    
2. Cooling Mode: In the summer, the process reverses. The heat pump pulls heat from inside your home and releases it outdoors, acting like an air conditioner.
    

Because heat pumps transfer heat rather than generate it, they use significantly less energy compared to traditional systems like furnaces and air conditioners. This makes them energy-efficient and eco-friendly, offering year-round comfort for your home with one system.

A well-maintained heat pump typically lasts 15 to 20 years, depending on factors such as usage, maintenance, and the quality of the unit itself. Regular maintenance, like cleaning filters and checking refrigerant levels, can help extend its lifespan.

Several factors can impact how long your heat pump lasts:

• Maintenance: Annual check-ups and professional servicing help keep the system running efficiently.
   
• Usage: Homes with consistent heating and cooling needs might see slightly reduced lifespan, but careful maintenance can offset this.
   
• Quality of the Unit: Higher-end models may last longer and offer better performance over time. 

By investing in SystemCare maintenance plans, you can ensure your heat pump runs efficiently throughout its life and delay the need for a replacement.
