Heat Pump Installation in Washington, DC

A new heat pump is one of the best upgrades for a DC home: efficient heating in winter, cooling in summer, and no gas bill for heat. We size it with a real load calculation, not a guess based on square footage.

We remove the old equipment, set the new outdoor unit, connect a matched air handler, pull a vacuum on the lines and test both modes before we leave. Rowhouse roofs, narrow alleys and closet air handlers are routine for us.

Is a heat pump right for your DC home?

Heat pumps work well in the DC climate, where most winter days stay above freezing. Modern cold climate models keep heating efficiently well below that. They fit especially well in rowhouses with existing ductwork, condos without gas service and homes moving away from an old boiler or oil system.

Ducted or ductless

If your home already has ducts in good condition, a ducted heat pump with an air handler is usually the simplest choice. Homes with radiators and no ducts can use ductless mini-splits instead, with indoor heads in the rooms that need them most. We look at your layout and explain both options.

Backup heat

Most heat pumps here are paired with electric heat strips or an existing gas furnace for the coldest nights. We set up the controls so backup heat runs only when needed, which keeps winter bills down.

What happens on install day

A standard swap is usually done in one day. We protect floors, remove the old equipment, set and level the new outdoor unit, connect and test the indoor side, and walk you through the thermostat before we leave.
