Making a home more affordable to run and comfortable to live in means paying close attention to all the different systems and parts of the home that might be wasting energy or creating issues for your family.
Heating and cooling systems play a major role in your home’s energy use and your home’s overall comfort levels. As part of our whole home services, Home Energy Medics installs a variety of high-efficiency heating and cooling systems, including electric ducted heat pumps and ductless mini splits, furnaces, boilers, and central AC.

Heating and Cooling Upgrades: Part of Our Whole Home Improvement Process
When you work with Home Energy Medics, everything starts with a home energy audit, during which we inspect, test, and diagnose the issues that are creating problems in your home.
Your heating and cooling systems are part of our energy audit process. Many homes have old and inefficient furnaces, boilers, or central AC systems that are wasting energy and struggling to keep homes comfortable. Heating and cooling upgrades are just one of the recommendations we may make at the end of the audit process.
The Different Types of HVAC Systems that Home Energy Medics Installs
Heat Pumps
Home Energy Medics is a trained and qualified electric heat pump installer. We install two different types of heat pumps: ducted heat pumps, which connect to your home’s central ductwork, and ductless mini splits, where the indoor air handler component of your system, often called a cassette, is installed directly in the room or area you’re trying to keep comfortable.
Heat pumps are very energy efficient, run completely on electricity, and have both heating and cooling settings, giving you year-round comfort and savings.
High-Efficiency Furnaces, Boilers, and Central Air Conditioning
When it comes to replacing your old furnace, boiler, or central AC, today’s models offer much higher efficiency ratings, using less fuel and saving energy. With any new HVAC installation, correctly sizing the equipment for the home it will be installed in is a crucial step, but one that many contractors miss the mark on.
At Home Energy Medics, we bring the same building-science-focused mentality to heating and cooling that we do to our insulation and air sealing work, and you can be sure that your new HVAC equipment will run as efficiently as possible in your home.
Electrify Your Home with Home Energy Medics
Heat pumps are one of the cornerstones of any home electrification project, and Home Energy Medics can help you transition away from fossil fuels!
When upgrading from a gas furnace or boiler to an electric heat pump, you’ll need to remember that your home will now be using more electricity, even if your overall energy consumption is decreasing. In some instances, you may need to make changes to your electrical panel. Home Energy Medics can perform this work, but we also offer several ultra-high-efficiency heat pump models that use so little energy that panel upgrades are unnecessary in many cases.

Save More with Furnace, Boiler, and Heat Pumps Tax Credits and Rebates
Because upgrading your home to a more efficient HVAC system saves energy, there are many incentives available to encourage homeowners to upgrade. From up to $2,000 in federal tax credits for heat pump installation to utility rebate programs available through Pepco, BGE, and Dominion Energy, Home Energy Medics can help you find all available incentives and maximize your savings. We even offer great financing options so that you can upgrade your home today.

Looking for Duct Sealing? Did you know...
There is a substantial amount of energy loss when your HVAC system works overtime to make up for leaks and gaps in your ductwork. In addition to increased energy bills, the unnecessary strain on your system can significantly shorten its lifespan or lead to costly repairs. Air duct leaks can also create indoor air quality issues by allowing dust, allergens, and other pollutants easy access to the air circulating through your home. Having properly sealed ducts keeps these pollutants out of the air you breathe and balances temperatures, leaving your home feeling more comfortable.
HEAR WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY
Home Energy Medics did a wonderful job on our house. We now have much better heating and cooling. The original audit was very revealing of heat leakage points throughout the house. I had no idea that recessed lighting "cans" could leak so much outside air into the house.
