How a Heat Pump Works

It Moves Heat Instead of Making It

In summer it moves heat out of your home. In winter it pulls heat from the outdoor air and brings it inside.

One System, Two Seasons

Cooling and heating come from the same outdoor unit.

Efficient Heating

According to the Department of Energy, an air source heat pump can cut the electricity used for heating by 30% to 40% on average.

Works With Your Furnace

In a dual-fuel setup, the heat pump handles most of the season and a gas furnace takes over on the coldest days.

Heat Pump Options

We’ll recommend the setup that fits your home, your ductwork and how you want to heat.

Up to $2,000 ComEd

Ducted Heat Pump

Uses the ductwork and vents you already have, replacing or working alongside your furnace and central AC.

Heat Pump Installation & Repair FAQs

Do heat pumps work in Illinois winters?

Yes. Modern cold-climate heat pumps heat efficiently through most of a Northern Illinois winter. For the coldest stretches, many homeowners pair one with a gas furnace as backup.

How much can I save with ComEd?

Up to $2,000 on a qualifying centrally ducted heat pump of 2.5 heating tons or more, or up to $1,000 on a ductless mini-split, plus $75 with a qualifying smart thermostat we install. See the full ComEd breakdown.

Can I keep my gas furnace?

Yes. A dual-fuel system uses the heat pump for most of the year and your gas furnace on the coldest days.

Do ComEd discounts apply everywhere you work?

No. St. Charles, Geneva and Batavia run their own electric utilities, so ComEd’s heat pump discounts aren’t available there. Nicor Gas furnace discounts still apply there for Nicor Gas customers.

Do I have to apply for the ComEd discount?

No. As a ComEd Heat Pump-Trained Contractor, we apply the discount directly to your installation invoice.

Can I finance a heat pump?

Yes. You can prequalify in about 2 minutes with no impact to your credit score, and the instant discount lowers the amount you finance.
