When installing a new HVAC system, Landen Heating and Cooling encourages homeowners to consider a heat pump in Knightdale, NC. Heat pumps are among the most energy-efficient HVAC options available and have only become more advanced in recent years.
Our heat pump services include new installations, conversions, and replacements. Installation costs are often much lower since you don’t need a separate cooling and heating solution. You may also benefit from the federal tax credit and local energy rebates.
I have used Landen for the last five years for maintenance and repair. All technicians have been professional, courteous, and knowledgeable about their trade.
The U.S. EPA sets energy efficiency standards for cooling with the seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) and heating with the heating seasonal performance factor (HSPF). You can use these numbers to compare one model to another. The higher the number, the more energy efficient the system. SEER2 and HSPF2 are similar but factor static air pressure in the ducts into the equation.
North Carolina is in the Southeast region. The minimums for cooling for new units as of 2023 are 15.0 SEER and 14.3 SEER2. The minimums for heating for new units as of 2023 are 8.8 HSPF and 7.5 HSPF2. Even these minimum ratings make you eligible for the energy-efficient home improvement credit. They also make you eligible for any energy rebates available locally.
Even if you’re upgrading from an old pump, the EPA estimates that you can expect energy savings of at least 8%. Our technicians can also convert you from a traditional air conditioner and furnace pairing.
While it isn’t required, some area homeowners opt for hybrid heating. This kind of heating is where you pair the air-source pump with a gas furnace. It lets you benefit from the pump most of the time. When the temperature gets particularly cold, the furnace kicks in, and you benefit from it instead. If your current furnace is in good condition, you may even be able to use it as your auxiliary heating.
Heat pumps provide many benefits:
Low carbon footprint
High energy efficiency
Heating and cooling in a single solution
Affordable equipment and installation costs
Tax credits and local energy rebates available
