Should I install a Heat Pump?

All your burning questions answered. Without burning any fuel.

To answer this question we could show you thermodynamic equations and efficiency coefficients. Or we could just say that heat pumps cost less to run, work in freezing weather, and depending where you live, various utilities and government bodies will help you pay for them. Still skeptical? Let's review one point at a time.

One system. Complete home comfort.

Forget juggling separate heaters and air conditioners — a cold‑climate heat pump gives you year‑round comfort from one ultra‑efficient system. Modern cold‑climate heat pumps are engineered to perform even when temperatures plunge, pulling heat from outdoor air to warm your home without the waste of traditional systems. That means reliable warmth when you need it most and refreshing cool air in summer — all from the same unit.

What you get:

Year-round heating and cooling in one ultra-efficient unit

Unlike a traditional gas furnace that only provide heat — and requires a separate air conditioner to cool your home — a heat pump does both. It’s a single system that delivers efficient heating in the winter and refreshing cooling in the summer, all in one sleek, streamlined unit. That means you’re not paying for two separate systems, two sets of maintenance costs, or two sources of energy consumption.

But the real magic lies in how it works. While furnaces generate heat by burning fuel (usually natural gas or oil), cold climate heat pumps move heat — transferring it from one place to another. In winter, they pull warmth from the outside air (yes, even when it’s cold) and bring it indoors. In summer, they reverse the process, moving heat out of your home to keep things cool. This transfer method uses far less energy than combustion, making heat pumps up to 2-5 times more efficient than traditional heating systems.

So what does that mean for you? More comfort and less energy use — all from a cleaner, smarter system that runs on electricity. It’s not just a step up in technology. It’s a smarter way to take care of your home, your wallet, and the planet.

Cleaner Air

Modern heat pump systems do more than just heat and cool your home — they also create a noticeably healthier indoor environment. Unlike gas furnaces or boilers that rely on combustion, heat pumps don’t burn fuel. That means they don’t release carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, or other harmful byproducts into your living space. No flames, no fumes, and no risk of hidden pollutants building up in the air your family breathes every day.

And when you go with Jetson, you get even more peace of mind. Every Jetson Air system comes equipped with a built-in air filter that quietly works behind the scenes, 24/7. It captures dust, pollen, pet hair, and other tiny particles that float through your home — the stuff you can’t always see, but definitely don’t want in your lungs. Over time, that means cleaner surfaces, less sneezing, and a more comfortable home for everyone — especially kids, pets, or anyone with asthma or allergies.

Decarbonization

Choosing a heat pump is also a meaningful step toward a lower-carbon home. Traditional heating systems burn fossil fuels on site, releasing carbon emissions every time they run. Heat pumps run on electricity instead, which means they eliminate those direct emissions entirely. As the electric grid continues to get cleaner with more wind, solar, and other renewable sources, your heat pump gets cleaner too without you having to replace a thing. It is one of the few home upgrades that quietly improves its environmental impact year after year.

Zoom out a little further and the impact multiplies. Home heating is one of the largest sources of residential carbon emissions, especially in colder climates. Switching to a high-efficiency heat pump helps reduce demand for fossil fuels while supporting a future built on clean energy. You are not just upgrading your comfort system, you are future-proofing your home and aligning it with where energy is headed. Less carbon, less pollution, and a healthier planet, all starting with how you heat and cool your space.

Modernization + Future proofing your home

Installing a heat pump is more than an efficiency upgrade, It’s a signal that your home is ready for what comes next. As building codes evolve, energy prices fluctuate, and electrification becomes the standard, homes with modern electric systems are simply better positioned. A heat pump replaces aging, single-purpose equipment with smart, all-electric technology designed to integrate seamlessly with solar, battery storage, and home energy management systems. It is a clean break from legacy infrastructure and a confident step into a more resilient, adaptable home.

That forward-looking investment shows up in your property value too. Buyers are increasingly looking for homes that are efficient, comfortable, and inexpensive to operate. A modern heat pump checks all three boxes. Lower utility costs, reduced maintenance, and the absence of gas appliances make your home more attractive and more competitive in the market. In short, you are not just upgrading your comfort. You are upgrading your home’s long-term value and relevance in a rapidly changing energy landscape.

How expensive is a heat pump?

The surprising answer: not as much as you might think. Yes, heat pumps are a big upgrade. But today, you’re not expected to cover the cost alone. Governments around the world are investing billions to help households switch to clean, electric heating as part of their climate action plans. These systems cut emissions, reduce grid strain, and improve air quality — so rebates, grants, and low-interest programs are widely available to help cover the cost.

But at Jetson, we take it a step further. Unlike traditional HVAC companies that mark up equipment and tack on hidden fees, we offer factory-direct pricing — with no middlemen and no inflated costs. That means you get the highest-efficiency heat pump systems, installed by licensed pros, without the usual markup. Pair that with government incentives, and the total cost to you is often thousands less than expected.

What do I need to know about installing a heat pump?

Not much — and that’s the whole point. We could write a book on heat pump installation. In fact, we basically have. From electrical loads and airflow balancing to refrigerant line routing and drain slope calculations — we’ve figured out every detail so you don’t have to.

What you need to know is this: we’ve studied the installation process down to the minute, and built a system that gets your new heat pump up and running in just one day. No dragging it out over a week. No disappearing contractors. No mess left behind. And especially no hidden costs.

A Jetson team member will show up with everything ready to go — tools, equipment, even carpets — and handle the entire job with precision and care. We’ll remove your old system, install your new one, fine-tune it for your home, and show you exactly how it works before we leave.
