Heat Pump Installation for Kenilworth homes
Most Kenilworth homes were built for radiators, so a conventional ducted heat pump rarely fits without invasive work. A ductless heat pump places discreet indoor heads only where they're needed - primary living spaces, upper bedrooms, a converted attic - and delivers both cooling and efficient supplemental heat while leaving the original boiler in place for the coldest weather. We plan head and line-set placement to stay unobtrusive in a historic home.
A qualifying ductless heat pump can earn ComEd's heat-pump rebate, tiered from roughly $1,400 to $2,000 for equipment meeting the cold-climate ENERGY STAR floor, provided it clears that bar - so we specify to qualify and handle the paperwork, with the current amount confirmed in your estimate. The installers route refrigerant lines carefully to protect plaster and finishes, place the outdoor unit out of sight, and register the warranty.
