Heat Pump Installation for Northbrook homes
In a Northbrook home with sound ductwork, a dual-fuel system runs the heat pump for cooling in summer and efficient heating through the shoulder seasons, calling on the gas furnace only in the coldest stretches. Because so many Northbrook homes are replacing both the furnace and AC around the same time, adding a heat pump as the cooling side - and the primary heat for much of the year - is often the highest-value configuration available.
A qualifying cold-climate 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, but it must clear that bar to count. We size and select to qualify, then walk you through the paperwork, with the current amount confirmed in your estimate. Licensed, insured installers handle the electrical, refrigerant lines, and dual-fuel controls, remove old equipment as needed, and register the warranty.
