Heat Pump Installation & Replacement in Western & Central Connecticut

If you are a homeowner in the Western or Central part of Connecticut who is considering getting a  heat pump installed, understanding the installation process can make the transition to this energy-efficient heating and cooling system a smoother process. Here’s what to expect during a typical heat pump installation:

Heat Pump Pre-Installation Phase

  1. Initial Assessment: An HVAC contractor will visit your home to evaluate your unique heating and cooling needs. This includes inspecting your current system, analyzing your home’s layout, and assessing factors like insulation, ductwork, and electrical capacity.
  2. System Selection: Based on the assessment, the contractor will recommend heat pump options tailored to your home. They will discuss the appropriate size and capacity for your space, the type of heat pump best suited for your needs (air-source, ground-source, or hybrid), energy efficiency ratings, estimated operating costs, and any available rebates or incentives to reduce upfront expenses.
  3. Permits: The contractor will take care of obtaining any required local permits, ensuring the installation complies with all regulations and building codes.

This structured approach ensures that your heat pump installation is efficient, compliant, and optimized for your home’s specific requirements.

What to Expect During a Heat Pump Installation From Degree Heating and Cooling

Preparation:
 Before installation begins, any existing heating or cooling equipment will be removed to make space for the new system. The contractor will set up a stable mounting pad or brackets for the outdoor unit and run refrigerant lines between the indoor and outdoor components. If necessary, they will also install or modify ductwork to ensure proper airflow. Finally, the electrical connections will be set up to power the system.

System Installation:
 Once the preparation is complete, the outdoor compressor unit is securely placed in its designated location, and the indoor air handler is installed. Refrigerant lines are connected to link the two units, and a drainage system is added to manage condensation. The contractor will also handle the electrical wiring and set up the thermostat for system control.

Testing and Calibration:
 After installation, the system undergoes thorough testing to ensure everything is working correctly. The refrigerant lines are pressure-tested, the system is started up, and the thermostat is programmed. Out heat pump technician will verify the system’s performance to ensure it operates efficiently and meets your needs.

Post-Installation:
 Once your new heat pump system is running smoothly, our technician will demonstrate how to operate it, provide maintenance tips, and explain the warranty. They will also clean up the work area and arrange any follow-up visits, if needed.

Important Considerations:
When you decide you want to install a new heat pump, it’s essential to hire a professional HVAC company like Degree to avoid potential issues like refrigerant leaks, electrical hazards, or improper performance. Additionally, the heat pump and air handler must be properly sized and matched to ensure efficiency and meet ENERGY STAR® standards for energy savings.
