Many Aurora, CO homeowners replacing an aging furnace and AC are choosing a single heat pump instead, and the reason is efficiency. A heat pump does not burn fuel or heat a resistance coil; it moves heat. In cooling mode it carries heat out of the house, and in heating mode a reversing valve sends the refrigerant the other way so the compressor gathers heat from outdoor air and releases it indoors. That lets it deliver two to three times more heat than the electricity it consumes. Modern cold-climate equipment with inverter-driven compressors keeps working well below freezing, which the older units behind the technology's old reputation simply could not do.
Our two most requested repairs are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. If something has stopped working, start there.
Warning Signs for Heat Pump Installation
Recognizing the warning signs early can save you time and money. Here are the most common indicators that it's time to call a professional:
- You want quieter, more consistent comfort than your current system delivers
- Your utility company is offering incentives for heat pumps
- You want one system, one outdoor unit, and one maintenance schedule
- You are electrifying the house or pairing major loads with solar
- Uneven temperatures year-round with the equipment you have now
- An aging AC and furnace you would rather replace with a single system
- High heating bills from electric baseboard, propane, or oil
- The old system needs refrigerant top-offs or major repairs to limp on
