The Heat Pump Challenge: Quality from the Start

Heat pumps offer fantastic energy efficiency but their installation process can have a learning curve. There are many potential pitfalls during installation that can compromise performance and longevity:

• Incorrect Refrigerant Charge: Even minor deviations in refrigerant levels can significantly impact a heat pump's efficiency and lifespan.

• Sizing and Placement Issues: An improperly sized unit or incorrect placement can lead to short cycling, uneven heating/cooling, and increased wear on components.

• Electrical and Ductwork Errors: Wiring mistakes or faulty ductwork connections can create safety hazards and reduce system performance.

These mistakes often don't surface immediately, leading to problems down the line – unhappy customers, warranty claims, and a damaged reputation.
