Heating and Air Conditioning in Clinton

In Clinton, HEP offers comprehensive Heating and Air Conditioning services to keep your home comfortable year-round. Recently, a homeowner reached out because their aging heat pump was struggling to maintain a steady temperature, and rising energy use had become a concern.

Understanding the Homeowner’s Dilemma

The existing system showed signs of wear: it cycled on and off frequently, and rooms felt unevenly heated or cooled. Rather than risk a sudden breakdown in the heat of summer or cold of winter, the homeowner contacted HEP for a replacement quote. A friendly HEP technician arrived, walked through the available options, and explained the benefits of a modern, energy-efficient heat pump. After a short period to discuss with family, they accepted the recommendation and scheduled installation.

A Smooth Installation Experience

On install day, the HEP team arrived promptly, respecting the homeowner’s property and daily routine. They began by setting a new concrete pad to support the outdoor unit, ensuring stability and proper drainage.

Next, the technicians positioned the outdoor condenser on a bed of decorative gravel, which helps prevent soil erosion and allows air to circulate freely around the unit.

Inside the attic, the old air handler was swapped out for a compact, modern model that delivers quieter operation and improved airflow. Connections were checked, and airflow balanced to eliminate hot or cold spots.

Attention to Detail: Electrical and Refrigerant Lines

Every installation includes a new disconnect switch mounted neat and flush to the home’s siding. Insulated refrigerant lines were run cleanly, avoiding unnecessary bends and protecting them from weather exposure.

Professional Testing and Calibration

With the system in place, HEP technicians connect specialized gauges to verify proper refrigerant levels and electrical performance. This step ensures your new heat pump operates at peak efficiency from day one.

Final Walk-Through and Customer Satisfaction

Before leaving, the HEP technician performed a full system check—adjusting thermostat settings, reviewing safety features, and answering any last-minute questions. The homeowner reported immediate comfort improvements and appreciated the clean, professional work area.
