At Renhard Heating & Cooling, we specialize in expert heat pump installation, ensuring your system is perfectly sized, correctly configured, and optimized to deliver reliable, year-round comfort.

A heat pump installation is more than just placing a unit outside your home; it's a precise process that directly impacts your system's performance, lifespan, and energy consumption. Our NATE-certified technicians bring generations of expertise to every job, guaranteeing that your new heat pump operates at peak efficiency from day one, helping you save on utility bills while enjoying a consistently comfortable indoor environment.

The Importance of a Professional Installation

The quality of your heat pump installation is just as important as the quality of the unit itself. An improper setup can lead to a host of problems, including reduced efficiency, frequent breakdowns, and a shortened lifespan for your equipment. When you trust Renhard Heating & Cooling with your installation, you’re investing in a flawless setup that avoids common pitfalls.

• Accurate System Sizing: A common mistake is installing a unit that is either too large or too small for the home. A system that’s too small will struggle to meet your heating and cooling demands, running constantly and driving up energy costs. Conversely, an oversized unit will short-cycle—turning on and off frequently—which fails to properly dehumidify your home in the summer, creates unnecessary wear and tear on components, and wastes energy. Our technicians perform a detailed load calculation, assessing your home’s square footage, insulation, window layout, and other unique factors to recommend a heat pump that is perfectly sized for optimal performance.
• Correct Unit Placement: The location of both the indoor and outdoor units is critical. The outdoor unit must be placed in an area with adequate airflow, proper clearance from obstructions, and on a stable, level pad to ensure correct operation and drainage. The indoor air handler needs to be installed to maximize airflow through your ductwork, delivering conditioned air evenly throughout your home. We meticulously plan the placement to ensure efficiency, easy access for maintenance, and minimal noise disruption.
• Seamless System Integration: A heat pump must integrate perfectly with your home's existing infrastructure. This includes making precise connections to your electrical system and, if applicable, your ductwork. Our licensed technicians ensure all electrical work is done safely and to code, preventing potential hazards. For ducted systems, we inspect your ductwork to ensure it can support the new system's airflow requirements, making recommendations for improvements if needed to prevent energy loss and poor performance.

• System Selection and Design: We guide you through choosing the right heat pump for your home from leading manufacturers known for their durability and innovation. Whether you need a traditional ducted system or a flexible ductless mini-split heat pump, we’ll find the perfect match.
• Safe Removal of Old Equipment: If you are replacing an older furnace or air conditioner, our team will safely disconnect and remove the old unit, ensuring all components are handled and disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner.
• Expert Installation: Our NATE-certified technicians will meticulously install your new indoor and outdoor heat pump units. This includes setting the outdoor unit, mounting the indoor air handler, and carefully running and connecting the refrigerant and electrical lines according to manufacturer specifications and local codes.
• System Commissioning and Testing: Once the physical installation is complete, we don’t just pack up and leave. We commission the system, which involves charging it with the precise amount of refrigerant, checking electrical connections, and testing airflow. We run the unit in both heating and cooling modes to verify that every component is functioning flawlessly.
• Final Walkthrough and Education: We conclude the installation with a complete walkthrough of your new system. We’ll show you how to operate your new smart thermostat, explain routine maintenance you can perform, and answer any questions you have to ensure you’re confident and comfortable with your new heat pump.

Finding the Right Heat Pump for Your Home

Modern heat pumps come in various configurations to suit different homes and needs. Our team has the expertise to install all types, ensuring you get the best solution for your property.

• Central Ducted Heat Pumps: These systems are the most common type and are ideal for homes that already have a network of ductwork. They work much like a traditional central air conditioner and furnace, using the ducts to distribute heated or cooled air throughout the entire house.
• Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pumps: For homes without existing ductwork, or for homeowners looking to create distinct temperature zones, a mini-split heat pump is an excellent choice. These systems consist of an outdoor unit connected to one or more indoor heads, providing targeted comfort with exceptional efficiency.
• High-Efficiency and Variable-Speed Models: For maximum energy savings, we offer advanced heat pumps with high SEER2 and HSPF2 ratings. Variable-speed models can adjust their output with incredible precision, running at lower speeds for longer periods to maintain a consistent temperature, reduce energy use, and improve indoor air quality. Ask us about current promotions and rebates that may be available for these energy-efficient systems.

As a family-owned company with roots dating back to 1958, our commitment is to our community and our customers. We stand by the quality of our work with upfront pricing and a satisfaction guarantee, ensuring you receive a dependable heating and cooling solution built to last.
