Heat pumps use refrigerant and a reversing valve to either extract heat from the air (cooling) or bring heat into the space (heating). In winter, they pull warmth from outdoor air—even in freezing temps—and in summer, they operate like a traditional AC by removing heat from inside.

Yes! Modern air-source heat pumps are engineered for colder climates and can effectively heat homes in sub-freezing conditions. Dual-fuel systems (heat pump + gas backup) are also available for added assurance during extreme cold snaps.

Absolutely. Many St. Louis property owners are transitioning from gas to electric heat pump systems for sustainability, cost savings, and compliance with local energy goals. We’ll evaluate your setup and determine the best retrofit strategy.

Not always. If your property doesn’t have ducts—or if you want to add heating/cooling to specific zones—a ductless mini-split system may be the better choice. These systems offer targeted comfort with no invasive construction.

Most quality heat pumps last 15–20 years with proper maintenance. We offer service plans to ensure your system operates efficiently for the long haul.

Heat pumps are often more efficient—especially in mild climates or during the spring/fall transition months. Over time, they can reduce energy costs significantly, particularly in all-electric buildings or where gas rates are high.
