What Is a Heat Pump?
A heat pump is a system that moves heat rather than making it. In summer it takes heat from inside the house and puts it outside, which is cooling. In winter it works the other way, taking heat from the outside air and bringing it in.
That is the whole idea, and it is why one unit does both jobs. A furnace burns fuel to create heat; a heat pump relocates heat that already exists, which is a different mechanism entirely.
Why Choose a Heat Pump?
Two reasons come up most often in New Orleans: a heat pump is one system instead of two, and the local climate suits the way it works.
Heating and cooling in one
One unit, one install, one thing to service. There is no separate furnace to maintain and no second system sitting idle for most of the year.
Moving heat, not making it
Because a heat pump relocates heat instead of generating it, it does not need to burn anything to warm the house. That is a difference in mechanism, not just a difference in equipment.
A climate that suits them
Heat pumps work best where winters are mild, and New Orleans winters are. The conditions that limit them elsewhere are largely not the conditions here.
What Heat Pump Services Do We Offer?
We offer four heat pump services: installation, replacement, maintenance and repair. The same people who size and fit the system are the ones who service it afterward, which is the part that decides how long it lasts.
On installation we work out which system suits the house rather than fitting the largest that will go in. On replacement we tell you plainly when repair is still the better value.
How Often Should a Heat Pump Be Serviced?
A heat pump should be serviced once a year at minimum, and with more attention than a system that only does one job. It runs through both seasons here, so it accumulates hours a cooling-only system would not.
The annual visit is where a weak component gets found while it is still a repair. Catching it early is far cheaper than replacing it in the middle of summer, which is when a heat pump under load tends to give up.

Why here is different
Why Do Heat Pumps Suit New Orleans?
Heat pumps suit New Orleans because the winters are mild and the cooling season is long, which is close to the conditions they handle most easily. A heat pump moves heat rather than making it, so the climate it operates in decides how well that works.
Mild winters play to the mechanism
A heat pump draws warmth from outside air. The colder that air, the harder the job. New Orleans winters are mild enough that the difficulty other climates run into is largely not a factor here.
One system does both seasons
In a place with a long cooling season and a short heating one, a second system that sits unused for most of the year is a cost with no return. A heat pump removes that problem.
Runtime is what wears it
The same long season that makes a heat pump sensible here also puts hours on it. That is the argument for the annual service, whatever interval came with the unit.

Questions we get asked
What Else Do People Ask About Heat Pumps?
What does a heat pump actually do?
A heat pump moves heat rather than making it. In summer it takes heat from inside the house and puts it outside, which is cooling. In winter it reverses, taking heat from the outside air and bringing it in: one unit, both jobs.
Does a heat pump replace my furnace?
A heat pump can replace a furnace, because it heats as well as cools. Whether it should depends on the house and on what is already installed, which is what we work out on site rather than deciding in advance.
Do heat pumps work in New Orleans winters?
Heat pumps work in New Orleans winters, which are close to the climate they handle most easily. A heat pump draws warmth from outside air, so the colder it gets the harder the job, and New Orleans winters are mild enough that the limits other climates run into are largely not a factor here.
Is a heat pump cheaper to run than a furnace?
A heat pump uses a different mechanism than a furnace: it relocates heat rather than burning fuel to create it. What that means for your bill depends on the system, the house and what you are replacing, so we would rather look than promise a number.
How often should a heat pump be serviced?
A heat pump should be serviced once a year at minimum, and arguably with more attention than a cooling-only system. It works through both seasons in New Orleans, so it accumulates running hours that a cooling-only system never would.
Should I repair or replace my heat pump?
Repair a heat pump while the fault is one component and the system is inside its service life. Replacement becomes the better value once the same unit keeps failing or parts are hard to source. We give you both numbers first.
Do you install heat pumps as well as repair them?
Yes, we handle heat pump installation, replacement, maintenance and repair. We also work on air conditioning, furnaces and ductless systems, so one visit can cover more than one of them.
How do I book a heat pump estimate?
Call 504-285-5606 or request a free heat pump estimate through the site. Tell us your preferred time, we look at the house, and we give you a figure. Estimates are free on all services, and there is no obligation to book.
