The job tools
Two quick checks with real numbers: what heat costs, and what your current heaters add up to in BTU/h.
Conversion: 1 W = 3.412 BTU/h. An indication, not a load calculation: baseboards and furnaces are often stronger than the real need, and they can stay as backup. AirGreen confirms the capacity on site.
How the job unfolds
The main steps of this kind of job at AirGreen. Every house has its quirks: the estimate brings them out.
We look at the ducts, the current indoor module, the electrical panel and the planned spot for the outdoor unit.
The equipment combination, capacity and price, in writing. We check whether the combination qualifies for assistance programs.
Access protected, old unit disconnected and removed when it is being replaced.
Electric furnace or air handler, with its coil, connected to the supply and return ducts.
On a level base, raised above the snow, with free space all around.
Insulated, they enter through a sealed opening and run to the indoor coil.
Dedicated circuits, accessible disconnect, a thermostat that works with the heat pump and the backup heat.
Leak test, vacuum, start-up, airflow check and a test of both modes.
Filter, thermostat, backup heat in extreme cold: what to know before winter.

What we check on a job like this one
Each number is a point we check on site. Switch between summer and winter to watch air and heat move.
In summer, the outdoor unit rejects the house's heat outside.
Generic illustration of this type of installation, not a survey of this job site. Tap a number.
It captures or rejects heat outside. It sits on a level base, above the snow, with free space all around.
The insulated refrigerant lines enter the house through a sealed opening and run to the indoor coil.
A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service.
Sitting on the indoor module, it moves heat between the house air and the refrigerant.
Electric furnace or air handler: its fan pushes air through the ducts. The electric backup takes over in extreme cold.
Supply ducts bring air to the rooms; returns bring it back to the unit. Their condition matters as much as the unit's.
It protects the coil and the fan. A dirty filter cuts airflow, so it gets checked regularly.
It runs the heat pump and the backup heat. It must be compatible with the installed system.
