Heat Pumps in Novi

Heat Pumps for Novi homes

Novi grew quickly from the late 1980s through the 2000s, so many of its subdivision homes now have furnaces and air conditioners reaching the end of their service life together. Novi's newer two-story homes are often strong heat pump candidates: ducted systems in good shape, newer electrical panels and central air conditioners near the end of their life. Replacing that air conditioner with a heat pump and keeping the gas furnace for the coldest nights is the setup we quote most here.

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 Novi

Most Novi homes heat with gas forced-air furnaces installed in the 1990s and 2000s, many now past the age where repairs start to add up. Side-wall PVC venting and accessible basements make replacements straightforward, and custom homes add radiant floor zones to the mix.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for heat pumps in Novi, 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 Novi, permits are handled by the City of Novi's building division. New electrical circuits are done by a licensed electrician under an electrical permit. We pull the permits that apply to your project.
