Do any of these sound familiar?

Signs it’s time to call a pro

Most problems give you warning signs — catch one early and you often avoid a bigger repair.

Want one system for heat and AC

A heat pump both heats and cools, replacing a separate furnace and air conditioner with a single efficient system.

Aging AC and furnace at once

If both are near end of life, a heat pump (or a hybrid setup) can replace them together.

Rooms or additions without ducts

Ductless heat pumps condition spaces ductwork can't reach — additions, attics, garages.

Looking for lower energy use

Modern cold-climate heat pumps are highly efficient and can lower year-round energy use versus older equipment.

Moving toward electric comfort

Homeowners moving toward electric heating and cooling choose heat pumps for efficient, all-season operation.

Rebates & tax credits available

High-efficiency heat pumps can qualify for federal tax credits and NYS Clean Heat rebates — we size the system and help you capture the incentives.

How we do it

What happens when you call

From your first call to the final cleanup, here’s exactly how we work — no surprises and no upsells.

1

Load calculation & assessment

We measure your home's heating and cooling load and check ductwork and electrical — not just swap like-for-like.

2

Same Day appointments

Need it fixed today? We hold same-day slots for urgent repairs across the Capital Region.

3

Right-sized, cold-climate recommendation

We recommend the correct capacity and a cold-climate-rated system that performs through our winters — ducted or ductless.

4

Professional installation

Licensed install of the condenser or heads, line set, and controls, with permits where required and a proper refrigerant charge.

5

Startup & walkthrough

We commission the system in both heating and cooling, verify performance, and walk you through controls and maintenance.

Our work, done right

What’s included in our service

We install and replace ducted and ductless heat pumps for Capital Region homes — single systems that handle both heating and cooling, sized by load calculation and chosen for cold-climate performance. Where ducts are impractical, a ductless heat pump fits; see mini-split installation. Every install is permitted where required and backed by a workmanship guarantee. Need a repair on an existing heat pump? See heat pump repair.

A real person answers. Call or book online — Mon to Fri, 7:30 to 6, with same-day slots across the Capital Region.

How to decide

Repair or replace? How to decide

If your current heat pump is serviceable and the fault is a single component, repair is the right call — see heat pump repair. New installation makes sense when you’re conditioning a space without ducts, replacing aging AC and heating together, or want a single efficient system for year-round comfort.

Straight talk on price

What does it cost?

Heat pump installation cost depends on capacity, ducted vs ductless, the number of zones, and any electrical or ductwork. We quote flat and in writing after the in-home assessment, with financing available through Acorn Finance.

Local know-how

Heat Pump Installation & Replacement in the Capital Region

Modern cold-climate heat pumps perform far better in Capital Region winters than older models, heating efficiently well below freezing — though for the coldest stretches some homes pair a heat pump with gas backup. We size and select the system for our climate so you get reliable heat all winter. Prefer a gas furnace or boiler instead? See furnace replacement and boiler replacement.

Good to know

Heat Pump Installation & Replacement questions, answered

The things Capital Region homeowners ask us most about repair, replacement and cost.

Yes — cold-climate heat pumps heat efficiently well below freezing. For the coldest spells, some homes use a gas backup; we’ll recommend what fits your home.

Ducted suits homes with good duct runs; ductless (mini-split) suits homes without ducts or for zoning specific spaces. We recommend based on your home.

Yes — one heat pump system handles both heating and cooling, and can replace an aging furnace-and-AC pair.

It’s based on a load calculation for both heating and cooling — not a rule of thumb. Right-sizing matters even more with heat pumps.

Yes — through Acorn Finance.
