Heat Pump Installation

Heat pumps are growing in popularity in the Chicago area – and for good reason. They are an incredibly efficient and environmentally friendly HVAC system that provides both heating and cooling for year-round comfort. Some of the benefits of installing a heat pump in your home include:

Energy Efficiency

Unlike traditional heating systems, heat pumps do not create heat by burning fuel. When in heat mode, heat pumps capture energy from outdoor air and transfer the heat into your home through refrigerant. In the summer, the process is reversed to cool your home. The circulating refrigerant removes heat from indoor air which is transferred to the outside.

Reduced Energy Bills

This process reduces energy usage significantly. Contemporary models can be 50% more efficient compared to traditional furnaces because they only use electricity and do not consume natural gas or other fossil fuels.

Heating and Cooling

For many homeowners, heat pumps can completely replace their air conditioner and supplement a natural gas furnace. Manufacturers continue to design heat pump systems that are not only efficient but perform far more effectively in cold climates like Chicago.

Environmentally Friendly

For families focused on reducing their carbon footprint, heat pumps are one of the most environmentally friendly HVAC systems on the market. Since heat pumps do not burn natural gas like conventional furnaces, installing a forced air heat pump can significantly reduce carbon
emissions.

Rebates

Federal income tax credits are available through 2032 when you purchase a heat pump for your home. The tax credit covers 30 percent of the cost of a heat pump, with a maximum credit of $2,000.
