Portland Heat Pump Installation & Service

Heat pumps are devices that take a heat source and use it to warm or cool an area. Heat pumps essentially pull heat from the air or the ground to heat a given space. They can also be reversed to cool the same space. The advantage to this system is that you don’t need to install separate heating and cooling units in addition to saving on energy costs.

What Are the Benefits of Installing a Heat Pump System?

If you are looking for a highly efficient way to warm or cool different zones of your home, a heat pump may be the right solution. These ductless heating and cooling systems are becoming increasingly popular as a replacement for old, inefficient methods of controlling household climate.

Whether you are building a new home, adding on to your house, or looking for the best option to replace your current heating system, it may be the perfect time to install this energy efficient system.

A heat pump offers many benefits, including:

• Saves you money on energy bills
• Gives you more comfort and control
• Does not require ductwork
• Provides a single solution for heating and cooling a home
• Creates far less noise than a traditional heating system
• Delivers proven, time-tested results
• Reduces carbon emissions
• Requires less maintenance than conventional systems
• Lasts up to twice as long as other heating systems

Tier 1 Heat Pumps

Tier 1 heat pumps are anything with an AHRI-rated HSPF of 12.0 or higher for single indoor units, or 10.0 or greater for multiple indoor units. Here’s the good news: for tier 1 units, your first unit qualifies for a $500 rebate, and your second unit qualifies for a $250 rebate.

Tier 2 Heat Pumps

Tier 2 heat pumps have a more stringent set of guidelines: they must have an HSPF rating of 12.5 or greater, be a single-zone unit, they must be wall-mounted, and they must be installed after January 1^st, 2020 in a home that is not served by natural gas. (The HSPF is a measurement of performance and energy efficiency given out by the Air Conditioning, Heating, & Refrigeration Institute).

For tier 2 units, your first system qualifies for a $1,000 rebate and your second qualifies for a $500 rebate. However, you have to act fast if you want to take advantage of this rebate: there is a lifetime limit of two heat pump indoor unit rebates per dwelling, and you’re only eligible for your rebate if you apply within 12 months of the completion of your upgrade.

Who Can Install a Heat Pump?

Certain types of heat pumps are more affordable and easier to install, but no matter what type of heat pump system you select, installation requires the expertise of a professional Portland HVAC technician. It is not safe to install a heat pump yourself unless you are certified in plumbing and electrical work.
