How a Heat Pump Works

One of the benefits of installing heat pump systems is they both heat and cool your home, enabling you to use your heat pump year-round. However, a central air conditioning unit can only cool your home.


Typically, heat pumps are a part of a split system, meaning they contain both an indoor and outdoor unit.

The purpose of a heat pump is to transfer heat from one area to another. During the winter, a heat pumping unit will move warm air into your home. In the summer, it will push this air outside of your house.

Heat pumps help you conserve energy, as they do not burn fuel to create heat. Plus, they last over a decade with proper maintenance.

Heat pump systems are popular in North Carolina, as the winters here are manageable. Heat pumps thrive in moderate climates, unlike traditional ac units.


Our HVAC installers will inquire about what type of backup heating system you have; it’s essential to have a supplemental heating system to rely on if your heat pump malfunctions.

People Also Ask

We receive hundreds of questions from Hickory homeowners regarding heating and cooling systems each year. Here are some of the most asked questions people ask our HVAC contractors.

  • How Much Does a Heat Pump Installation Cost?

    Many factors impact how much a heat pump installation will cost you. 

     

    First, the size of the heat pump directly correlates to its price. You must install an appropriately-sized heating system in your home. If your heat pump is undersized, it will have to work harder, expending more energy than necessary. If it is too large, you will pay more than you need to. 

     

    There are several heat pump types to choose from. Here are the average installation prices for each. 


    Air-Source: $1,000-$2,000 

     

    Geothermal: $8,000-$3,000

     

    Ductless Mini-Split: $500-$1,750

     

    Gas-Fired Heat Pump: $1,200-$2,000

  • How Much Wall Space Do You Need for a Heat Pump?

    You need a minimum of 24” of clearance space on each side of your indoor and outdoor heat pump unit. Plus, there should be no more than 50ft of space between the indoor and outdoor units of your heating ductless mini-split system.

     

    We recommend placing your outdoor heating unit in a shady area. If the HVAC unit is in the sunlight, it may overheat and cause your heat pump to work harder than it needs to. 

     

    Our heat pump experts will ensure that you have enough clearance space around the edges of your heat pump systems. We follow all North Carolina state protocols when installing your system. 

     

    Our HVAC contractors are licensed and insured, meaning we assume the liability associated with your heat pump installation.
