Heat Pump Installation in Southeast DC
Rowhouses, townhouses and apartments
Southeast DC has every kind of home, and each needs a different plan. Rowhouses often need a rooftop or back-yard outdoor unit, townhouses usually have a side or rear pad, and apartments may need board approval for wall-mounted units. We plan placement before the quote.
Keeping bills down
A heat pump saves the most when the thermostat limits backup heat and the ducts are sealed. We check both during the install so the new system delivers the savings it should.
Why heat pumps fit Southeast DC homes
Heat pumps heat and cool with one system, and they run on electricity, which suits homes moving off old gas furnaces or oil. They work well through typical DC winters, with backup heat for the coldest nights.
Sizing it right
We size the heat pump with a real load calculation based on your home, its windows and insulation. An undersized unit struggles in January, and an oversized one short cycles and leaves the air damp in summer.
Ducted or ductless
Homes with good ductwork can use a ducted heat pump with an air handler. Homes with radiators and no ducts can use ductless mini-splits in the rooms that need them.
What installation includes
Removing old equipment, setting the outdoor unit on a level pad or bracket, connecting the indoor unit, new line set where needed, electrical, a full vacuum, and startup testing in both modes.
Program help
DC programs sometimes help qualifying homeowners with electrification and heating replacements. Ask us and we will point you to the right place to check.
