Heat pump vs. furnace: which is better for Norfolk homes?
In a mild climate like Norfolk's, a heat pump is usually the more efficient choice. It heats and cools with one system…
One system for heating and cooling, sized for your home. We replace old heat pumps, AC systems and furnaces with high-efficiency heat pumps, with a free in-home estimate and a written price.
Available in: Winchester & Wilmington, and Norfolk from January 2027

Heating and cooling service from our Norfolk branch starts January 1, 2027. Until then, our Norfolk team is here for plumbing, drains, boilers, gas lines, septic and wells. Call the Norfolk office with any questions.
That's when a new one pays for itself fastest. Efficiency has come a long way.
Heat pump installation covers removing the old system, setting the new outdoor unit and air handler, connecting the refrigerant lines, drain and controls, and testing it in heating and cooling. We size the system for your home and climate, rather than copying what was there.
A heat pump moves heat instead of making it, so it uses far less electricity than resistance heat. Today's high-efficiency models also handle cold weather much better than older units. For colder Winchester winters, we can pair a heat pump with a gas furnace as a dual-fuel system.
Every install is done to code and to the manufacturer's specifications by trained, licensed technicians, with a 1-year warranty on the installation and the manufacturer's equipment warranty on top.
Which suits you depends on your climate, your fuel and the ductwork you already have.
One system for both seasons, and very efficient through mild winters on the coast. Today's models keep working in much colder weather than older ones.
The heat pump runs most of the year, and a gas furnace takes over in deep cold. A strong fit for Winchester winters.
Heat pump comfort for additions, older homes and rooms the ducts don't reach.
The same steps on every visit, so you always know what's next.
We look at the home, the ductwork and the old system, and ask how you use it.
Good, better and best, with running costs explained in plain English.
A written price, signed before any work starts. Financing on jobs of $500 or more.
Old equipment out, new system in, connected and tested. Floors protected.
We check airflow and temperatures, set the thermostat and show you how it works.
Photos and warranty details come with your invoice.
Free in-home estimate, then a written price you sign before we start.
Your technician explains what each option costs to buy and to run, side by side.

A new outdoor unit with a matched air handler, so it runs at its rated efficiency.
Most replacements are done in a day.

Variable-speed heat pumps run longer at lower speed: quieter, more even and better at pulling humidity out of the air.
The biggest savings come from replacing a very old system.
We'll compare efficiency, warranty and price, and recommend what suits your home.

We replaced a 25-year-old heat pump with a new high-efficiency heat pump, and the homeowners called in to tell us how much their energy bill had changed.Erich, HVAC manager, Winchester

Cost, cold weather and what's involved.
It depends on the size of the home, the efficiency and brand, and whether the air handler, ductwork or electrical need changes. In-home estimates are free, and you get a written price before any work starts. Financing is available on jobs of $500 or more.
Often, yes, especially compared with electric resistance heat or propane. Against natural gas it depends on local rates and how cold it gets. In colder areas, a dual-fuel system uses whichever is cheaper at the time.
Removing the old equipment, setting the outdoor unit and air handler, running or reusing refrigerant lines, connecting the drain, controls and power, then testing and charging the system and walking you through the thermostat.
It's a job for a licensed technician. Refrigerant handling requires EPA certification, the electrical and drain work must meet code, and manufacturers expect professional installation to honor their warranties.
Every new system is installed to code and to the manufacturer's specifications by trained, licensed technicians, and the installation is covered for one year. Manufacturer equipment warranties pass through to you, and some brands extend their parts warranty when the equipment is registered.
Yes. Financing is available through Wisetack on jobs of $500 or more, and AC and heat pump replacements are among the jobs our customers finance most. You can check your options from home in a couple of minutes. All financing is subject to credit approval.
