So, you’re getting a new heat pump. In order for your heat pump to work at its optimal performance, it’s crucial to have a skilled technician—like one of ours at Temp Air System Inc. perform your heat pump installation. You can also help by doing a little bit of preparation before we arrive to install your new heat pump.
First, be sure the region around your outdoor compressor/condenser is cleared so the technicians can easily get where they need to be to replace it. If you did not have a heat pump, clear an area where your home’s new heat pump will be installed outside. It’s also important to keep plants and bushes trimmed away from the outdoor unit for proper operation and to allow for maintenance.

You can also complete some easy home maintenance projects to help make sure you’ll get the most energy efficiency from your new heat pump. Check to make sure that your attic is well-insulated. You should also look for air leaks around your doors and windows. If you find any, they can frequently be repaired with weather stripping or caulking.
You should be aware that you may need a new thermostat, depending on the model of your previous heat pump. Plus, now is a great time to upgrade to a smart thermostat to take full advantage of all the benefits of a new heat pump. A smart thermostat can help ensure peak comfort and keep your house at your chosen temperatures 24/7. If you need or want a new thermostat installed throughout your heat pump installation, you may also want to get some touch-up paint if it’s a different size or shape from your previous thermostat to clean up your wall.
If you have additional concerns about what you can expect from your new heat pump installation, or if you want to know how long to anticipate your installation will last, give Temp Air System Inc. a call. We’re happy to answer your questions and look forward to working with you! And don’t forget to give us a call when it’s time for your new heat pump’s routine maintenance.
