HEAT PUMP INSTALLATION
Modern inverter heat pumps that heat and cool efficiently through a KC winter.
Heat pumps have changed. Modern inverter systems hold usable capacity well below freezing, which makes them a genuinely practical way to heat and cool a Kansas City home from one piece of equipment instead of two. Metro Heating & Air installs them as stand-alone systems and as dual-fuel setups paired with a gas furnace for the deepest cold snaps.
Which configuration is right depends on your house, your ductwork and your utility rates, and we'll walk through the trade-offs honestly before you spend anything. Dual-fuel makes sense for many older KC homes; an all-electric cold-climate heat pump makes sense for others, particularly well-insulated ones.
Installation quality matters more with a heat pump than with almost any other equipment. Line sets are sized and brazed under nitrogen, the system is evacuated and weighed in, defrost controls and the balance point are configured for our climate, and the auxiliary heat is staged so it only runs when it's actually needed — not every time the thermostat jumps.
You get the full commissioning readings, warranty registration, and the option to finance the project. Add a maintenance plan and we'll check the reversing valve, defrost cycle and charge every season, which is exactly where neglected heat pumps quietly lose efficiency.
