One system that heats and cools.
A heat pump moves heat instead of making it. It cools in summer, heats efficiently through most of a Middle Tennessee winter and replaces both a furnace and an air conditioner in many homes.
- Modes: Cooling and heating in one system
- Backup heat: Electric strips or a gas furnace
What it is, and why it matters.
A heat pump is an air conditioner that can run in reverse. In cooling it pulls heat out of the house, and in heating it pulls heat from outdoor air and delivers it inside. Because it moves heat rather than creating it, it can deliver more heat than the electricity it uses, which is why heat pumps are common where winters are mild to moderate.
Nashville HVAC installs ducted heat pumps and heat pump air handlers across Middle Tennessee. We size the system with a load calculation, review the ducts and electrical service, explain backup heat options and set up controls so the system does what you expect. You get a written scope and price, and a startup test to prove it works in both modes.
Four things done right.
One system, two jobs
A heat pump replaces separate heating and cooling equipment in many homes.
Efficient heating
In mild weather it delivers far more heat per unit of electricity than resistance heat.
Sized to your house
A load calculation avoids the short cycling and humidity problems of oversizing.
Tested both ways
We run cooling and heating modes and confirm the defrost cycle works.

Heat Pump Installation: common questions
Do heat pumps work in cold weather?
Modern heat pumps work well through most Middle Tennessee winters. On the coldest nights a backup heat source helps, which can be electric strips or a gas furnace.
Why does my heat pump outdoor unit steam or ice up in winter?
Heat pumps periodically defrost their outdoor coil, which can look like steam. Heavy ice that does not clear points to a problem worth checking.
