Heat Pumps in Canton

Heat Pumps for Canton homes

Canton Township grew rapidly from the 1980s through the 2000s, from established subdivisions to newer neighborhoods like Cherry Hill Village, with older farmhouses at its edges. Canton's 1990s homes often have an air conditioner and furnace aging together, which makes it a natural time to consider a heat pump. We place the outdoor unit on a raised stand above drifting snow and away from bedroom windows.

What's included

Cold-climate air source heat pumps for heating and cooling, on their own or paired with a gas furnace as a hybrid system. Depending on your home and equipment, the work can include:

• Ducted heat pumps
• Hybrid (dual fuel) systems
• Cold-climate models
• Ductless systems
• Heat loss.
• Ductwork.
• Electrical capacity.
• Controls.
• Placement.

Local conditions in Canton

Most Canton homes heat with gas forced-air furnaces, many installed when the subdivisions were built and now reaching replacement age. Side-wall vents need clearance from drifting snow, and larger homes need careful sizing for finished basements.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for heat pumps in Canton, get clear answers to these before signing:

• Is this a cold-climate model, and down to what temperature does it heat well?
• How will backup heat work on the coldest nights?
• Does my ductwork need changes for a heat pump?
• Does my electrical panel have capacity, and who does the electrical work?
• Which rebate or financing programs might apply right now?

Permits and licensing

In Michigan, installing or replacing a furnace, air conditioner or heat pump generally requires a mechanical permit and inspection, and the work must be done by a licensed mechanical contractor. In Canton, permits are handled by Canton Township's building and inspection services. New electrical circuits are done by a licensed electrician under an electrical permit. We pull the permits that apply to your project.
