A heat pump heats and cools the same house with one system. In the Hudson Valley that only works if the unit is rated for real winter, the house is looked at, and somebody explains what the rebate actually covers before you sign anything.
Call and describe what it is doing. We'll tell you which one makes sense, including when the answer is repair the one you have.
(845) 853-6012There's a real difference between a heat pump rated for a mild climate and one that still produces heat at zero degrees. We spec the cold-climate equipment for this region, because a unit that gives up at 20 degrees has done nothing for a Hudson Valley January.
New York runs a heat pump rebate programme through the utilities, and the amounts are substantial, but the eligibility rules are strict about what gets replaced, how the system is sized and who installs it. Rebate terms and amounts change, so we won't quote you a figure from memory: the office confirms what is current for your house and utility before you commit, and you get it in writing. Ask us what your house qualifies for.
Not every house should get a heat pump. Old houses with poor insulation, undersized ducts or a long cold-side run may need real work first, or may be better served by a boiler or a furnace. We'll price the honest option. If the answer is that you should keep your boiler, that's what we'll tell you.
The same equipment runs in reverse in July. For a house with no air conditioning, that's often the strongest argument for a heat pump: you're buying the heating system you needed anyway and getting cooling with it.
Where the house already has ductwork that can carry the airflow.
No ducts needed. Heads in the rooms that need them.
A separate rebate applies to these; ask the office what is current.
We handle the contractor side of the application and tell you what to expect.
We install and service this equipment. If you already own a different brand, we still repair and service it. Call the office and describe what you have.
We run emergency crews for plumbing, heating, septic and water treatment. Call and a dispatcher confirms your arrival window. We won't tell you an hour we can't keep.
Heat pumps are a large purchase, and rebates usually arrive after the install rather than at the counter. We offer financing so the gap between paying and being reimbursed doesn't have to come out of savings. Ask for the terms with your estimate.

A cold-climate heat pump will, and that's the only kind we'll put in for a primary heating job. How much of the load it carries depends on the house, that's what the estimate is for, and we'll tell you where the balance point is.
It depends on the utility, the system and what is being replaced, and the programme amounts change. We won't guess at a number: the office confirms the current figure for your address before you decide, and you get it in writing.
Sometimes, on a house where the heat pump alone won't carry the coldest weeks. If that is the case we'll say so and price it as a hybrid rather than pretending one system does everything.
Free estimate, a straight diagnosis, and a crew that shows up when we say we will.
