Heat pumps have undergone a revolution in the past decade. The cold-climate heat pumps available today — including units from Bosch, Mitsubishi, Daikin, and others — deliver full rated heating capacity down to 5°F and continue operating (at reduced capacity) to -13°F. For Coalville's climate, a properly sized cold-climate heat pump can handle 95% of annual heating and cooling needs on electricity alone.
Types of Heat Pump Systems We Install
Air-Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
The most common type. An outdoor unit extracts heat from outdoor air (even cold air contains significant heat energy) and transfers it indoors. In cooling mode, the process reverses — just like a traditional air conditioner. Modern ASHPs achieve heating COPs (coefficient of performance) of 2.0-3.5, meaning they deliver 2-3.5 units of heat for every unit of electricity consumed.
Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pumps
Ideal for homes without ductwork, room additions, garages, and basements. A single outdoor unit can serve 1-8 indoor zones simultaneously, each with independent temperature control. Inverter-driven compressors make mini-splits the most energy-efficient HVAC technology available.
Dual-Fuel Systems
A heat pump paired with a gas furnace backup. The system uses heat-pump electricity when it's efficient (above ~35°F) and switches to gas furnace heating in extreme cold. This combination offers the best of both worlds — electric efficiency during milder temperatures, gas reliability during deep winter.
Geothermal Heat Pumps
Ground-source systems use the earth's stable 50-55°F ground temperature as a heat source in winter and a heat sink in summer. COPs of 4.0-5.0 are typical — the highest efficiency of any heating technology. We partner with certified geothermal drilling contractors to offer complete system design and installation.
Heat Pump Repair
We diagnose and repair all heat pump problems: defrost cycle failures, reversing valve faults, refrigerant issues, and auxiliary heat problems. We carry specialized heat pump diagnostic equipment that standard AC technicians lack.
