Learn the steps necessary before you hire a contractor to design and install a heat pump in your home so you can have complete peace of mind and reduce your carbon footprint!

Here are the top 5 considerations for installing a heat pump in your home in Massachusetts:
1. The contractor performs and on-site Manual J Heat loss analysis to offer the correct size system for your home.
2. Make sure your panel can handle the added amperage to safely run your new electric system. upgrading your panel is common in Needham, MA, or the surrounding towns if you have anything 100 amps or less for your power supply.
3. If you are installing a ducted system, ensure the ductwork is the correct size. this can be done by the contractor testing the static pressure of the existing ductwork while on-site, or the contractor should supply a Manual D for new duct systems.
4. Ensure the equipment the contractor is proposing will keep your home cozy during single digit weather. All Heat pumps lose capacity when the temperature drops so you want to make sure you won't be left in the cold when the outdoor temps are frigid. Have the contractor verify the heat output at 5F. It should also be listed on mass save as qualified equipment.
5. Make sure the contractor you plan to hire is on the Mass Save list of qualified installers. Lastly, choose a contractor with a long list of happy customers and a history of whole home heat pump installations like Green Energy Mechanical in Needham so you have total peace of mind.
