"Simplified Green Homes did a firewall insulation installation in the ceiling of our garage. They were quick to respond to my initial request. They sent an estimate promptly. Getting the work day scheduled took a bit of back and forth but once we established a date they were here and got the job done. Everyone we dealt with was polite and professional.

"Total Ripoff! My boiler stopped working the other day and my usual company was unable to come out due to being short-staffed that day. I resorted to google and unfortunately came across Aire Serv. Their technician (who was very nice) came out to assess the situation and determined it was caused by a damaged pilot assembly. After calling around for replacement parts, I was told that the parts were out of stock until later in the week. Despite this, I was still charged $234 for the trip fee and diagnostic fee. I was then quoted $1112 for the repairs to be done once the parts were in. I shared this quote with my normal company and they were appalled! Thankfully they fixed the issue for less than half the price Aire Serv was going to charge me! PLEASE do not use this money-grubbing company, and instead use a local independent company if you need heating work done!"

Heat pumps rely on evaporation and condensation processes. The unit transfers heat through the system via a compressed refrigerant. The compressor within the pump circulates the refrigerant through two coils. The first coil evaporates the refrigerant and absorbs warmth from the air. The refrigerant then passes to the second coil, at which point it condenses, and the unit releases the absorbed heat.
A heat pump lasts anywhere from 12 to 20 years, depending on how well you maintain it, the type of heat pump, the brand, and the quality.
Your cost to run a heat pump ranges from $500 to $2,000 per year. It depends heavily on your climate, your house insulation, and if your system has a backup heat source. Solar heat pumps generate their own heat from solar energy and can save you money overall.
Heat pump repairs cost an average of $150 to $600. You might pay $65 on the low end or $1,400 on the higher end.
For similarly sized central units, air conditioners are cheaper than a two-way heat pump. Keep in mind that an AC is a heat pump, but it only works in one direction. A central AC unit costs between $3,800 and $7,600 to install, compared to $4,100 to $18,000 or more for a heat pump.
Whether a furnace or heat pump costs less to warm your home depends largely on the type you have and your climate. For example, these systems usually cost less in southern states with mild weather. In colder northern climates, a gas furnace does better with a heat pump. Backup heating and insulation also play a role. Talk to a heat pump installer about costs and climate before you commit to one or the other.
