Heat Pumps in Troy

Heat Pumps for Troy homes

Troy is largely built from the 1960s through the 1980s, with neighborhoods of ranches, colonials and tri-levels alongside a busy office and retail corridor. In Troy's older ranches and tri-levels, a heat pump usually means a closer look at duct sizing and the electrical panel first. A hybrid setup that keeps the furnace for deep cold snaps suits Michigan winters and keeps comfort steady when temperatures drop below zero.

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 Troy

Troy's older homes mostly heat with gas forced air, with some hot water baseboard and radiant systems in custom homes. When a furnace moves to PVC venting, the old chimney may be left serving only the water heater, which we plan for in the quote.

Questions to ask before you hire

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