Heat Pumps are Reliable and Cost Efficient
With Atlanta’s variable weather, a heat pump has become an increasingly popular HVAC choice for homeowners. Thanks to advancements in technology, heat pumps offer excellent fuel efficiency and year-round versatility by providing both heating and cooling through your existing duct system. As a leading heat pump service company in Metro Atlanta, we specialize in the installation of these highly efficient systems, ensuring your home remains comfortable regardless of the season.
How Does a Heat Pump Work?
The technology surrounding heat pumps continues to impress as they become more and more efficient in producing heat and cool air by moving warm air. By using the laws of thermodynamics, a heat pump system takes advantage of new advances in refrigerants when moving heat in or out of a house. The mechanical aspects of heat pumps are also advancing to make home comfort easier, more efficient, and customizable. In the Greater Metro Atlanta Area, Empire installs top-quality heat pump equipment, whether it’s a new system or you’re replacing an older heat pump system.
Is a Heat Pump the Right Choice for My Metro Atlanta Home?
The popularity of heat pumps continues to increase with the advances in technology and the economic incentive to run more energy-efficient systems. If both your AC and furnace are starting to show signs of age, your best option might be to remove the two systems and replace them with a heat pump system that can do both heating and cooling. Here in Metro Atlanta, we have the advantage of having the type of weather that’s ideal for a heat pump system.
Does Your Old Heat Pump System Need Replacing?
If your home already has a heat pump system installed, but it’s older and less efficient, it may be time for an upgrade. We can assist with the entire process, including safely removing the old system, properly disposing of the refrigerant, and recycling components whenever possible. Your new heat pump system will offer improved efficiency, providing greater comfort and helping you save more on your heating and cooling bills.
Planning Your Heat Pump Installation
When you contact us for a heat pump installation, we'll send a technician to your home to assess your current HVAC system. This comprehensive evaluation will help us understand your ductwork, electrical setup, air handler condition, and identify optimal unit placement. We'll also discuss your preferences to recommend a system that perfectly suits your needs.
Our Experienced HVAC Technicians Arrive Ready to Go to Work
On installation day, our technicians arrive prepared with a detailed plan. They'll remove necessary components, use the right tools, and handle any required permits. The installation typically takes one to two days.
Installing the Indoor and Outdoor Units
We'll place the outdoor unit in a suitable location, away from obstructions, to ensure optimal airflow. The new outdoor units are quieter than older units. The indoor unit will be mounted where the existing unit is or possibly a new location if it better meets your needs. A refrigerant line connects these units, enabling heating and cooling.
Connecting Ductwork and Electrical Systems
If you have existing ductwork, we'll connect your heat pump to it. We may recommend a new air handler with advanced features to optimize your system. We'll seal the ductwork to prevent air loss and dust infiltration. Electrical connections will be made according to safety standards, ensuring your heat pump operates reliably year-round.
Starting Up Your New System
We have a rigorous checklist to ensure your system functions properly. We'll test heating, cooling, airflow, and thermostat integration. Once satisfied, we'll guide you through system operation and features. We'll clean up thoroughly and leave your home comfortable.
Regular Maintenance Improves Performance and Longevity
Empire offers comprehensive maintenance plans that include thorough inspections, refrigerant checks, coil cleaning, drain line maintenance, air filter replacement, electrical system checks, and performance testing. By investing in regular maintenance, you can reduce unexpected repairs, improve energy efficiency, and extend the lifespan of your heat pump.
