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.
