Benefits of Replacing Your Heat Pump

If your current HVAC system includes a central air conditioner and a furnace, you should think about switching to a heat pump. You get heating and cooling in a single unit. More importantly, because a heat pump transfers heat instead of generating it, it’s significantly more energy-efficient than a furnace.

A new heat pump can mean lower monthly bills through an improvement in energy efficiency. Essentially, a new system consumes less power to deliver the same amount of heating or cooling. Don’t forget how quickly HVAC technology is advancing. In the last 20 years, for example, we’ve seen smart thermostats emerge along with variable speed inverter mechanisms.

Standard heat pumps usually need auxiliary heating methods when temperatures drop much below freezing. This may be electric heat strips or a supplemental furnace. However, cold-climate heat pumps can still operate efficiently at temperatures as low as -15 degrees and below. Plus, they tend to last about five years longer than standard models.

Many newer systems feature noise-reduction technology and more consistent operation. You don’t have to worry about compressor or blower noises traveling through the ductwork. Modern heat pumps also deliver better humidity control and more consistent air distribution, thus ensuring year-round comfort. Your new heat pump will come with a fresh factory warranty for long-term reliability, comfort, and peace of mind.

The benefits you can enjoy by replacing your heat pump include:
  • Lower monthly bills
  • Silent operation
  • Seasonal comfort
  • Long-term reliability

Frequently Asked Questions

We get many questions from commercial and residential customers about heat pumps in Pottsville and the surrounding communities. Our office staff and HVAC technicians are always happy to provide answers. Here are the answers to two questions we get often.


The key factors are the system’s age, the severity and frequency of problems, and repair costs. After a decade of service, heat pumps typically require parts replacement. When repair costs exceed 50% of the purchase price of a new heat pump, replacement is the best option. Replacing the heat exchanger, for example, is a major service that would not make sense for a 12-year-old system.

To determine the size and capacity for your home or business, we perform a Manual J load calculation. This is necessary because we can’t accurately determine the correct size based solely on square footage. This calculation includes ceiling height, insulation levels, and the number and placement of windows and doors.

We had a great experience! CJ and team came in and fixed our heating furnace from another contractor. He was professional and talked us through our options. We understood it was a "fix" and they did it correctly for what they were working with. Heat is working great now.
