Heat Pump Services Westwood NJ
Efficient Heating and Cooling That Cuts Your Energy Bills in Half
My electric bill dropped from $400 to $175. That's what a customer told me last month after we installed their heat pump system. Same comfort, less than half the cost.
Heat pumps are taking over Westwood for good reason. They heat in winter, cool in summer, and do both using way less energy than traditional systems. That old furnace and AC combo you're running? It's like driving a gas-guzzling truck when you could have a hybrid. We've installed hundreds of heat pumps across Bergen County, and the savings are real.

What to Know Right Now (Before Installation)
Check Your Electrical Service
Heat pumps need adequate power. Most homes have it, but 100-amp services might need upgrading. We'll evaluate during consultation.
Consider Your Insulation
Heat pumps work best in well-insulated homes. Even moderate insulation improvements dramatically boost efficiency. We'll identify quick wins.
Understand the Rebates
PSE&G, Orange & Rockland - they're all offering rebates. Federal credits too. Stack them right and save thousands. We handle the paperwork.

Challenging Situations
Historic homes with no insulation need extra work. Houses with ancient electrical panels need upgrades first. But we've solved these challenges hundreds of times. That stone house on Franklin Avenue? Running heat pumps beautifully now.
Three-story colonials in Hillsdale love them - finally got even heating on all floors. Ranches in Emerson use mini-splits for perfect room-by-room control.

Preventing Heat Pump Problems
Simple Maintenance Saves Thousands
Change filters monthly - not kidding. Keep outdoor unit clear of leaves. Don't close too many vents. Annual professional maintenance catches issues early.
Operating Tips for Maximum Savings
Set it and forget it - don't keep adjusting temperature. Use scheduling features. Understand emergency heat (and avoid it). Let the system run continuously for best efficiency.
Why Bergen County's Climate Is Ideal
Our average winter temps rarely go below 20°F. Heat pumps work efficiently down to 5°F. Newer models work to -15°F. We're in the sweet spot.
Summer humidity? Heat pumps dehumidify better than standard AC. Spring and fall? Super efficient when you just need a little heating or cooling. Westwood's climate couldn't be better suited for this technology.

Helped a Washington Township family get $5,000 in combined incentives. Their net cost was less than replacing their old furnace alone.
Year-Round Comfort Without the Guilt
Heat pumps move heat instead of creating it. Three times more efficient than resistance heating. Your carbon footprint drops dramatically. Kids will thank you for caring about their future.
But honestly? Most people just love the comfort and savings. Even heating, no dry air in winter, quiet operation, and those low bills. Environment benefits are just bonus.
