FAQs
How quiet are your whisper-quiet heat pumps compared with traditional HVAC systems?
Our latest-generation inverter heat pumps operate at sound levels as low as 50–55 dB(A) when running, roughly the volume of a normal conversation and up to 40 % quieter than most conventional outdoor AC condensers. Variable-speed compressors ramp up and down smoothly, eliminating the loud start-stop cycle that produces the familiar “clunk” from older units. Indoors, the air handler uses brushless DC fan motors and insulated cabinets, so the airflow you hear is barely noticeable even in bedrooms at night.
Will a heat pump keep my home comfortable during Speedwell’s hot summers and chilly winters?
Yes. Modern cold-climate heat pumps are engineered to cool efficiently when outdoor temperatures exceed 95 °F and to heat effectively down to –5 °F. Speedwell’s climate falls well within that performance envelope. In cooling mode, the system removes humidity while maintaining set temperatures; in heating mode, the inverter compressor modulates output to match your exact load, preventing the temperature swings common in electric resistance or propane systems.
Can one heat pump system both heat and cool my entire house?
Absolutely. A single reversible (air-source) heat pump delivers heating in winter and air-conditioning in summer by reversing the refrigerant flow. For whole-home comfort, we install either a central ducted heat pump that connects to your existing ductwork or a multi-zone ductless system with sleek indoor heads. A properly sized unit will replace separate furnace and AC equipment, saving space and simplifying maintenance.
What regular maintenance does a whisper-quiet heat pump require?
Maintenance is straightforward: 1) Replace or wash indoor air filters every 1–3 months. 2) Keep outdoor coils free of leaves, grass, and debris—use a garden hose on low pressure. 3) Schedule a professional tune-up each spring or fall to check refrigerant charge, clean coils, inspect electrical connections, and confirm airflow. With these steps, the system can deliver 15–20 years of reliable service.
How long does installation take, and will it disrupt my home?
A typical replacement of an existing HVAC system with a new ducted heat pump takes 1–2 days. We remove old equipment, set the outdoor unit on a vibration-isolating pad, connect refrigerant lines, and seal/insulate ducts. For ductless installs, each indoor head mounts in about an hour, and small 3-inch penetrations are used for lines—no major remodeling is needed. Our team lays protective floor coverings and cleans up daily to minimize disruption.
Are there rebates or incentives for installing a heat pump in Speedwell?
Yes. As of 2024, Speedwell homeowners may qualify for a 30 % federal tax credit (up to $2,000) under the Inflation Reduction Act for ENERGY STAR certified heat pumps. TVA’s energy-right program also offers rebates of $150–$500 depending on system efficiency, and many local utilities provide low-interest financing or bill credits. We handle the paperwork and will identify every incentive you’re eligible for before installation.
