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.

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.

The right pages, at the right time
Four statements: true or false?
It all comes down to details you have just seen.
1. A central heat pump uses the house's ducts.
It connects to the existing ducts to heat and cool everywhere.
2. In extreme cold, electric backup heat can take over.
The indoor module (furnace or air handler) works with the heat pump and takes over in extreme cold.
3. The filter only gets changed when the unit breaks down.
A dirty filter cuts airflow. It gets checked regularly.
4. You can reuse the old unit's size without checking.
The house may have changed: insulation, windows, added rooms. Capacity is confirmed on site.
