Heat Pumps

Heat pumps designed for New York buildings.

One system that heats in February and cools in August. Cold-climate ductless mini-splits, central heat pumps, and full electrification work, sized for prewar walls and brownstone bones.

Why a heat pump

One quiet system. Lower bills. Less carbon.

Heat pumps move heat instead of making it. That makes them three to four times more efficient than electric resistance and dramatically cleaner than oil or gas at NYC's current grid mix. For most apartments and brownstones, the install is far less invasive than people expect.

  • Cold-climate ductless mini-split design for one zone or whole-home
  • Central air-to-air heat pumps for buildings with existing ductwork
  • Hybrid dual-fuel setups that keep a gas backup for the worst hours
  • NYSERDA Clean Heat and Con Edison rebate paperwork
  • Federal 25C tax credit documentation
  • Co-op and condo board packages: COI, specs, sound data, facade plans

Worth considering

When a heat pump usually makes sense.

Not every building. But when it fits, it pays for itself faster than people think.

  • Old PTACs or window units are at end of life and you want quieter cooling
  • You are renovating and the walls are already open
  • Gas service is constrained, expensive, or being decommissioned
  • You want a single system that does both heating and cooling
  • Local Law 97 deadlines or building electrification mandates are in play
  • You qualify for stacked utility and federal rebates
Our process

From walk-through to first run.

Heat pump installs live or die on the design phase. We spend the time there so the install is the easy part.

  1. Walk-through

    On-site assessment of building, electrical, facade access, and existing systems. Photos and measurements, not eyeballed.

  2. Load calc and design

    Manual J on the structure. Indoor head and outdoor condenser placement drawn up. Sound and visual impact reviewed.

  3. Quote, rebates, and board package

    Written quote with rebate math, equipment specs, sound data, and any documents your board requires.

  4. Install and commission

    Refrigerant lines, electrical, controls, and start-up performed and logged. Walkthrough of the controls with whoever lives there.
