Heat Pump Installation Process

Here's How Your Installation Works

First, we evaluate your home’s heating and cooling needs. We measure spaces, check existing ductwork if you have it, and assess electrical requirements. You get a detailed estimate with no surprises.

Installation day starts with protecting your floors and belongings. For ductless systems, we mount indoor units and connect them to the outdoor unit with minimal wall penetration. Traditional ducted systems connect to your existing ductwork or new ducts if needed.

After installation, we test everything thoroughly. You get a walkthrough of your new system, including how to use the controls and what to expect. We clean up completely and provide warranty information and maintenance guidance.

Complete Heat Pump Installation

You get manufacturer warranties on equipment plus service guarantees on our installation work. All permits and inspections are handled for you, so the job meets Dublin’s building codes.

How much does heat pump installation cost in Dublin?

Heat pump installation costs vary based on your home’s size, the type of system, and complexity of the installation. Ductless systems typically range from $3,000 to $8,000 per zone, while whole-home ducted systems range from $8,000 to $15,000. The investment pays for itself through energy savings – most Dublin homeowners save $100-300 monthly on utility bills. Factors affecting cost include the number of indoor units needed, electrical upgrades, and whether new ductwork is required. You’ll get a detailed estimate after the home evaluation.

Do heat pumps work well in Dublin's climate?

Heat pumps work exceptionally well in Dublin’s Mediterranean climate. The mild winters mean heat pumps operate efficiently year-round without the performance drops seen in freezing climates. Dublin’s temperature range is actually ideal for heat pump technology. During summer, they cool your home more efficiently than traditional air conditioners. In winter, they extract heat from outside air even when it feels cold to you. Modern heat pumps maintain full efficiency down to about 25°F, and Dublin rarely gets that cold.

How long does heat pump installation take?

Most heat pump installations take one to two days depending on system complexity. Single-zone ductless installations often complete in 4-6 hours. Multi-zone ductless systems or whole-home ducted installations typically take 1-2 full days. The timeline depends on factors like the number of indoor units, electrical work needed, and accessibility of installation locations. More complex jobs involving significant electrical upgrades or ductwork modifications may take longer. You’ll get a clear timeline estimate before work begins, and we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.

What's the difference between ductless and ducted heat pumps?

Ductless heat pumps mount individual units on walls in each room or zone you want to condition. They’re perfect for homes without existing ductwork or when you want independent temperature control in different areas. Ducted heat pumps work like traditional central air systems, using your existing ductwork to distribute air throughout the home. Ductless systems offer more precise zone control and are often more efficient since there’s no duct energy loss. Ducted systems provide more even air distribution and maintain a cleaner aesthetic since you don’t see multiple indoor units.

Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel for a heat pump?

Many Dublin homes need electrical upgrades for heat pump installation, especially older homes with 100-amp panels or outdated wiring. Heat pumps require dedicated circuits – typically 220V for the outdoor unit and 110V circuits for indoor units. Homes built before 1990 often need panel upgrades to handle the electrical load safely. The good news is that heat pumps use less electricity than electric resistance heating, so your overall usage may still decrease. During the home evaluation, we assess your electrical capacity and explain any upgrades needed before providing your installation estimate.

How much money will I save on energy bills?

Dublin homeowners typically save 40-60% on heating and cooling costs after switching to heat pumps. Exact savings depend on your current system, home size, and usage patterns. Homes replacing electric resistance heating see the biggest savings, often $200-400 monthly during peak seasons. Those replacing gas furnaces and electric AC still save significantly, usually $100-250 monthly. Heat pumps are 2-4 times more efficient than traditional systems because they move heat rather than generate it. With Dublin’s energy rates, most installations pay for themselves within 3-7 years through energy savings alone.
