A heat pump is an air conditioner that learned to run in reverse: in summer it moves heat out of your house, and in winter a reversing valve flips the refrigerant flow so the same compressor pulls heat from outdoor air and delivers it inside. Because it moves heat rather than generating it, a heat pump routinely delivers two to three times more heat energy than the electricity it consumes, which is why so many Edina, MN homeowners are switching as older equipment ages out. Modern cold-climate models with variable-speed inverter compressors keep producing useful heat far below freezing, a genuine engineering leap over the heat pumps of twenty years ago.
Most of our service calls are for AC Repair and Furnace Repair. If something has stopped working, start there.
When to Call for Heat Pump Installation in Edina
Spotting the early warning signs lets you act before the problem gets expensive. Here are the most common indicators that it's time to call a professional:
- You would like a single system for heating and cooling with one maintenance plan
- An older system that only survives on refrigerant top-offs and major repairs
- Your utility offers rebates that favor heat pump conversions
- You want steady, even comfort instead of blast-and-coast temperature swings
- Your AC and furnace are both aging and you would rather replace once, not twice
- You are electrifying the house or pairing major loads with solar
- Rooms run hot in summer and cold in winter on the existing equipment
- Your home relies on costly resistance heat, propane, or heating oil
