Q: What should I know before installing a heat pump?
A: Heat pumps provide excellent long-term cooling at this time of year, especially for homes without ductwork. Our team can help you find the best product for your home.
However, if you’re considering a heat pump for heating and cooling, you need to consider that heat pumps don’t generate heat like a furnace or boiler. They transfer heat between the outside and inside of a home.
This means you can’t “scale back” your heat overnight. We advise that you set your heat pump and leave it.
Additionally, heat pumps can provide decent warmth in fall when it’s 40 degrees outside but often struggle in freezing temperatures. We strongly encourage you to hold onto your oil-powered system as a backup heat source. It will be useful if the heat pump can’t keep up on a frigid winter night so your whole family stays warm and safe.
