Heat Pump Installation & Repair

Say goodbye to high energy bills

Furnaces and air conditioners are two of the biggest energy guzzlers in most homes. High utility bills and environmental concerns have many homeowners looking for smarter options. Flexible heat pumps are the gold standard of energy-efficient heating and cooling. Instead of generating heat, they use electricity to move heat from one place to another. For years, Jacobs has been installing cutting-edge Carrier® heat pumps that work hard but run quiet and their repair experts are ready to help when your existing heat pump isn’t working at peak performance.

When Should You Consider a Heat Pump?

Heat pumps are a versatile and sophisticated alternative to traditional HVAC systems. If you are not happy with your current system, a heat pump may be the solution you are looking for. Our specialists will help you decide, but there are a few signs you can look for that a heat pump is right for you.

You Want to Slash Energy Use

The newest furnaces and air conditioners are more energy efficient than ever before, but nothing beats an all-in-one system. Heat pumps manage your home’s temperature and humidity every day of the year, providing both heating and cooling with less energy use.

You Are Not Comfortable Year Round

No one likes unreliable heating. Heat pumps give you ultra-precise control over temperature levels in every room. If your furnace is not working the way it used to, this may be a perfect opportunity to convert your old infrastructure to a modern heat pump system.

You Live in a Mild Climate

Heat pumps are ideal for homes with moderate heating and cooling needs. In places with mild weather, like the Pacific Northwest, a heat pump installation can result in energy savings of up to 60%. You may also be eligible for tax credits and utility rebates.

Green, Clean, & Cost-Effective

Heat pumps might sound too good to be true, but they’re deceptively simple. A heat pump uses a compressor and refrigerant to transfer heat from one place to another. They work like air conditioners in the summer, absorbing heat from inside your house and moving it outside. In the winter they reverse their operation to warm your home.

Flexible – Its name doesn’t do it justice. A heat pump doesn’t just heat your home. It also cools it and controls the humidity.
Quiet – Heat pumps run consistently and quietly. No loud stopping and starting.
Compact – Heat pumps have two parts — a small indoor unit and a larger outdoor condenser unit. That means they take up less usable square footage inside your home.
Smart – You can choose to set up automated controls and app integration to ensure a more streamlined experience.
Clean – No combustion and no odors. Just clean, healthy air.

Additional Types of Heat Pumps

Ductless

Instead of blowing air through ducts, ductless (a.k.a. duct-free) systems use small indoor units to deliver warm or cool air to each space in your home. Ductless heat pumps from Carrier® are ultra energy efficient and provide rigorously precise temperature and humidity control. Filters in each indoor unit ensure your system always circulates clean, refreshing air. Jacobs offers top-quality single split, multi split, and whole home ductless heat pump systems.

Geothermal

The EPA called them today’s most energy-efficient and cost effective space conditioning systems. Geothermal heat pumps use renewable energy from the earth to heat and cool your home. They are the premier eco-friendly option. These heat pumps can even use free excess heat to supplement your water heater.

Heat Pump Repair Services

The beauty of heat pumps is their simplicity. Complicated repairs are rare, and with regular maintenance most Carrier® heat pumps run for years without trouble. The premium quality products we install are designed to provide superior comfort and performance. If yours doesn’t, it may be time to call in a professional. Jacobs experts are trained to assess heat pumps of all types from all major brands. We can evaluate your system and determine whether you need a heat pump replacement or just a repair.
