Everything Included in Your Installation

Your installation includes proper electrical connections, refrigerant lines, and drainage systems. We handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections with Westport building officials. Connecticut’s coastal climate requires specific installation considerations. We account for salt air exposure, proper condensate drainage during humid summers, and cold weather performance optimization. Every system comes with manufacturer warranty registration and our labor guarantee. We also provide detailed operation instructions and maintenance recommendations to maximize your investment’s lifespan and efficiency.

Do heat pumps work effectively in Connecticut winters?

Modern heat pumps absolutely work in Connecticut winters, including our coldest days. Today’s cold-climate heat pumps maintain full heating capacity down to 5°F and continue operating efficiently even at -13°F. The key is proper sizing and installation. We calculate your home’s exact heating load and select equipment rated for our climate zone. Many Westport homeowners are surprised how well their heat pump heats compared to their old oil or gas system. Backup heating is rarely needed with properly sized systems. When temperatures drop below the heat pump’s optimal range, most units have built-in electric resistance heating that automatically kicks in.

How much can I save on energy costs?

Most Westport homeowners see 30-50% reduction in heating costs compared to oil heat, and 20-40% savings compared to propane. Cooling costs typically drop 15-25% compared to older central air systems. Your exact savings depend on your current system’s efficiency, home insulation, and energy usage patterns. A 2,500 square foot Westport home might save $1,200-2,000 annually switching from oil to a heat pump. We provide detailed energy calculations during your estimate so you know expected savings before installation. Many customers find their heat pump pays for itself within 5-7 years through energy savings alone.

What's involved in the installation process?

Installation starts with electrical work if your panel needs upgrading for the new system. Most heat pumps require 220V service, which many older Westport homes already have for previous AC units. We install the outdoor unit on a concrete pad or wall mount, then run refrigerant lines and electrical connections to the indoor unit. Ductwork modifications are minimal if you have existing ducts, though we’ll seal and insulate as needed. The entire process typically takes 1-2 days for a standard installation. We handle all Westport building permits and schedule required inspections. You can use your new system immediately after we complete testing and startup.

Should I choose ducted or ductless heat pump systems?

If you have existing ductwork in good condition, ducted heat pumps integrate seamlessly and heat your entire home through current vents. This option works well for most Westport homes with central air systems. Ductless systems make sense for additions, homes without ducts, or zones with specific comfort needs. You can install multiple indoor units connected to one outdoor unit, giving you room-by-room temperature control. We evaluate your specific situation during the estimate. Factors include ductwork condition, home layout, and your comfort preferences. Both options deliver excellent efficiency and performance when properly installed.

How long do heat pumps last in our climate?

Quality heat pumps typically last 15-20 years with proper maintenance, similar to traditional HVAC systems. Connecticut’s coastal environment requires attention to salt air exposure, but modern units are designed to handle these conditions. Regular maintenance extends system life significantly. This includes annual professional service, filter changes, and keeping outdoor units clear of debris. We provide maintenance plans to keep your investment running efficiently. Many Westport customers get 18-20 years from their heat pumps with consistent care. The key is choosing quality equipment and having it installed correctly from the start, which helps prevent premature wear and costly repairs.

What size heat pump does my home need?

Proper sizing requires detailed load calculations based on your home’s square footage, insulation levels, window efficiency, and air leakage. Oversized units cycle on and off frequently, reducing efficiency and comfort. We perform Manual J load calculations following industry standards. This accounts for Westport’s specific climate data, your home’s orientation, and internal heat sources. The result is precise equipment sizing for optimal performance. Most 2,000-3,000 square foot Westport homes need 3-5 ton systems, but your specific requirements may vary significantly based on home construction and efficiency features. We never guess at sizing – accurate calculations ensure you get the right system.
