Heat Pump Installation in Kansas City, KS

Heat pumps have gotten genuinely good in the last decade, and in the Kansas City climate they now make sense for a lot of homes that would have been automatic furnace replacements ten years ago. Metro Heating & Air installs and services heat pump systems across Kansas City, KS — one piece of equipment that cools in the summer and reverses to heat in the winter.

Because a heat pump moves heat instead of burning fuel to create it, it can deliver two to three times the heating output per unit of energy consumed compared with electric resistance heat. Modern cold-climate models hold useful capacity well below freezing, and we pair them with the right backup heat strategy — either electric auxiliary heat or a dual-fuel setup with a gas furnace that takes over on the coldest KC nights — so you are never left short on a January morning.

Sizing and controls are where heat pump installs go wrong. We calculate the load, set the balance point correctly so the backup heat is not running when it should not be, and configure the thermostat for heat pump operation rather than leaving it on default furnace settings. Done properly, you get even, steady, quiet heat instead of the blasts of hot air a furnace produces.

We also service and repair heat pumps of every make and model, including systems we did not install. If yours is icing up, running constantly, or defaulting to emergency heat, that is a diagnosable problem and usually a fixable one.

Want to know whether a heat pump is right for your house? Call (816) 535-8000 for an honest assessment — we will tell you if a conventional system is the better buy.
