Your home should be a comfortable and enjoyable place. A heat pump is a great way to create a cozy, customized climate inside your home in O’Fallon. These energy-efficient devices don’t make heat, but instead use the difference between the inside and outside air temperature to control the environment inside your home. They also can be a great way to heat or cool rooms that your existing HVAC system does not heat or cool well, and also can be an effective tool to heat or cool sunrooms or enclosed porches.

The cost of heat pump installation typically ranges from $4,500 to $7,500, depending on the size of the unit and the complexity of the installation. Factors such as existing ductwork, system type and contractor rates can also affect the total price.
Federal HVAC tax credits can help reduce the cost of heat pumps that meet energy efficiency standards. Many utility companies and municipalities also offer rebates for the installation of efficient HVAC equipment such as heat pumps and mini-splits.
Installing a
new heat pump can improve efficiency and performance. You should consider replacing your heat pump if it is more than 10 years old, requires frequent repairs or struggles to maintain consistent temperature control.
A heat pump is a versatile system that can provide both heating and cooling for the entire home, often using existing ductwork. A ductless mini-split system, on the other hand, offers zoned heating and cooling without the need for ductwork, making it ideal for homes, rooms or other spaces without existing ductwork.

best mini-split system for your home, contact the team at Home Heating & Cooling for a free estimate.
Yes, a heat pump system is usually more energy efficient than a traditional HVAC system because it transfers heat or cold rather than generating it itself. This efficiency can lead to lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint.
A heat pump typically lasts between 10 to 15 years with proper maintenance. Regular tune-ups can help extend the life span of your system and ensure it operates efficiently throughout its service life. The more efficient your HVAC system is, the lower your energy bills will be.
The refrigerant used in your heat pump or ductless mini-split depends on the model and age of the system. Most modern HVAC systems use R-410A, but some older systems may still use R-22, or freon. However, both R-22 and R-410A are being phased out and will be replaced by more climate-friendly refrigerants such as R-454B.
These HVAC refrigerants are not interchangeable, so it's important to use the correct one for your system. To find out which refrigerant your mini-split or heat pump uses, consult the user manual. The suggested type of refrigerant also is often indicated on a nameplate on your outside unit. However, the best way to find the correct refrigerant for your heat pump or mini-split is to consult an HVAC professional like our staff at Home Heating & Cooling.
