Common Questions

Heat Pump Installation FAQ

Everything Charlotte homeowners need to know about heat pump installation

How much does heat pump installation cost in Charlotte?

Heat pump installation in Charlotte costs $7,000-$13,000 for complete system including equipment, labor, and permits. Learn more about heat pump costs in Charlotte. Ductless mini-splits cost $4,000-$7,000 per zone. Financing from $45/month.

Are heat pumps good for Charlotte's climate?

Perfect! Heat pumps are ideal for Charlotte's mild winters and hot summers. They heat and cool efficiently when temperatures stay above 25°F (most Charlotte winters). Learn more about heat pump vs furnace options. They're more efficient than separate furnace + AC.

What size heat pump do I need?

Proper sizing is critical. We perform Manual J load calculations during your free consultation based on your home's square footage, insulation, windows, and orientation. Charlotte homes typically need 2-4 tons. Oversized systems cycle too much. We size it right.

What's a good SEER rating for heat pumps in Charlotte?

For Charlotte's hot summers and mild winters, 16-18 SEER offers the best value. Higher SEER (20-22) costs $1,500-$3,000 more but saves 25-35% on cooling. Charlotte's long cooling season makes efficiency important. We'll calculate your payback period.

Do I need backup/emergency heat with a heat pump?

Most Charlotte heat pumps include electric resistance backup for cold snaps below 25°F. Some homeowners add gas furnaces for dual-fuel systems (more efficient in extreme cold). Charlotte's mild winters mean backup rarely runs. We'll recommend based on your needs.

How long does heat pump installation take?

Most installations take 1-2 days. Day 1: remove old equipment, install new heat pump, connect ductwork. Day 2: electrical work, testing, final adjustments. Ductless mini-splits often install in one day. Jobs with ductwork modifications may take 3 days.

What brands of heat pumps do you install?

We install all major brands: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, Bryant, American Standard, and Mitsubishi (ductless). As a family-owned company, we recommend based on your needs and budget, not which brand pays highest commissions.

Are there rebates for heat pumps in North Carolina?

Yes! Duke Energy offers rebates up to $600 for high-efficiency heat pumps (16+ SEER). Federal tax credits available for qualifying systems. We help identify all rebates and handle paperwork. Total incentives can offset 15-20% of installation cost.

Heat pump vs furnace + AC: which is better for Charlotte?

Heat pumps usually win for Charlotte. They heat and cool in one system, cost less to install than furnace + AC. Learn more about heat pump vs furnace comparison. Dual-fuel (heat pump + gas furnace) offers best efficiency but costs more upfront. We'll compare options.

Can you install ductless mini-split heat pumps?

Absolutely! Ductless mini-splits are perfect for Charlotte additions, sunrooms, and homes without ductwork. Learn about mini-splits vs central air. We install Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu, and other premium brands.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes! We pull all necessary permits and coordinate inspections in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. This is included in our pricing—no surprises. Permits ensure safe installation and protect your warranty.

How long will my new heat pump last?

Properly installed and maintained heat pumps last 12-18 years in Charlotte. Because they run year-round (heating AND cooling), lifespan is slightly shorter than AC-only systems. Our maintenance plans start at $199/year to extend life.

What warranty comes with a new heat pump?

We provide a 2-year labor warranty and 10-year equipment warranty on all heat pump installations. We register all warranties and provide lifetime service support. We'll be here when you need us.

Do you offer financing for heat pump installation?

Yes! Flexible financing through Wells Fargo with options from $45/month for qualified buyers. Heat pumps save money long-term but require upfront investment. We make it affordable with transparent financing terms, no hidden fees.

What makes your installation better than big chains?

We're family-owned since 2008, not a franchise. Learn why Kodiak is different. Our installers are employees (not subcontractors), background-checked, and paid hourly (not commission). This means proper load calculations and quality installation.
