What’s the difference between a heat pump and a ductless mini-split?

Ductless mini-splitrefers to a type of heat pump system that has multiple units, with each cycling refrigerant and blowing hot and cold air. A heat pump can also be connected to an air handler and blow air into your ducts, functioning much the same as a central air conditioner.

Can a heat pump heat or cool my whole home?

Heat pumps can provide temperature control to even the largest homes. For bigger properties, we recommend zone heating with a mini-split system to ensure that every room in your house is at a comfortable temperature.

What will happen if I don’t have maintenance for my heat pump?

A heat pump is designed to receive regular tune-ups like any other HVAC equipment. Without them, it will be prone to developing more costly issues, which will require repairs, and it won’t last as long before you need to replace it. You’ll also see less efficient operations and end up wasting money on energy.

Do I need to replace my furnace to use a heat pump?

Using a gas furnace and heat pump together is referred to as hybrid heat and can help homeowners save money and have even greater temperature control in the home. This works especially well in a mild climate, as your furnace will only need to kick in when the temperatures drop significantly.

What Is a Heat Pump?

As an energy-efficient alternative to furnaces and air conditioners, heat pumps use electricity to provide your home with heating and cooling all year. Heat pumps transfer heat rather than generate it, requiring less energy than a traditional furnace or air conditioner.

Because they do not burn fuel, they are considered environmentally friendly. With the energy cost always on the rise, more and more homeowners are turning to heat pumps to keep their houses at a comfortable temperature year-round.

Heat Pump Repairs

Though heat pumps are known to be one of the sturdiest HVAC options, they are essentially doing the duty of both a cooling and heating system. With time, your system may become less efficient and need repair.

If you notice any of the following, it’s likely time to call our professionals:

Ice on the coils
Restricted airflow
Odd noises or clicking
Increased energy bills
Heat is on constantly

Our experts can promptly recognize your system’s issues and provide any necessary heat pump repairs.

Heat Pump Installation & Replacement

If your heat pump is beyond repair or needs an update, our team guides you through the installation or replacement process. We can assess your home’s needs to determine the best option, whether you are interested in a duct-based system or a mini-split.

With a new heat pump, you’ll notice increased efficiency, minimal noise, and a reduced risk of breakdown or expensive repairs.

Heat Pump Maintenance

Your heat pump is a significant investment in your home’s overall comfort, so you’ll want to ensure that it works efficiently and effectively for many years. Regular heat pump maintenance can reduce the risk that your system will fail and help increase its longevity by finding minor issues before they become much bigger problems. Our experts recommend maintenance every six months for those who use their system year-round and annually for those homeowners who use their system more sparingly.

Drew took incredible care of us. He took a look at our HVAC when we were having some cooling issues and was able to diagnose the problem quickly. Thankfully it was an easy fix that didn't cost a thing! It's so nice to know that there are helpful and reliable people in this business still. It's just an added bonus that he's an incredibly kind person. We're going to ask for him specifically if we have any issues in the future! Thanks Drew!!

Our experience as always with your company has been excellent. Dylan Steger was polite and most respectful of our residence. He and his partner were so efficient and repaired all of the electrical plugs in the house. I have one suggestion perhaps you could purchase those.Hand held portable vacuum. Then they could clean up the powder and stuff that drops onto the carpet floor. That would set you way above anybody else. Thank you so much for listening. Please tell him how much we appreciated his work. OK

Joe N. Is the best plumber I have ever had! He was very personable and professional! He started by going over the agenda for the visit to ensure that all expectations were managed and there would be no surprises during our appointment. He flushed my tankless water heater making some plumbing related suggestions to help me save money by mitigating future repairs by changing some of the things we do in our home. He ensured that the work area was cleaned up after work was complete and even provided me plumbing related options to make my home better, save money, and improve my overall quality of life making sure I was aware of available financing for any needed repairs or enhancements that I may be interested in if needed. He never came across like he was selling me something. He just wanted to be there for what we needed! He even let me know that Preferred is a whole home service company offering hvac and electrical servicing as well! I will only have Joe N. take care of our families plumbing needs and Preferred for any other home services from now on!

I called preferred home services due to our digital HVAC board was dead. My husband found it was the battery that caused the board to go out. We informed our technician, Danny, of this when he arrived. He reset the board and proceeded to check the in and outside of our house. Danny took pictures of everything and sat down with us to explain what he found. Danny was professional, friendly, theral, informative and just a nice guy. We were not happy about the result of this inspection due to finances. Danny gave us a written report of 3 ways to choose from so we have an idea of the cost. We appreciated Danny coming the same day I called.
