All installations are compliant with local codes, backed by extensive labor and manufacturer warranties, and available with flexible financing options to fit your budget.

Transform Your Home Comfort with Professional Installation

Homeowners often tolerate mediocre heating and cooling performance because they assume upgrading is too complex or disruptive. However, modern heat pump technology offers a streamlined solution to climate control challenges. Unlike traditional furnaces that burn fuel to create heat, a heat pump moves heat. In the summer, it acts like an air conditioner, removing hot air from your home. In the winter, it reverses the cycle, pulling ambient heat from the outdoors to warm your living space. This heat transfer method is significantly more efficient than electric resistance heating and safer than combustion-based systems.

ReliaBee Air, Electric, & Plumbing specializes in matching the specific thermal needs of your property with the right equipment. The goal is to eliminate hot and cold spots, reduce humidity levels that contribute to mold growth, and provide a quiet, consistent airflow. A professional installation ensures that the unit operates at its rated efficiency (SEER2 and HSPF2), maximizing the return on your investment.

What You Get with Our Heat Pump Installations: Fast, Reliable, Energy-Efficient

When you invest in a new system, you are purchasing more than just a piece of machinery; you are purchasing the expertise required to integrate that machinery into your home’s existing infrastructure. A comprehensive installation package covers every aspect of the transition from old to new, ensuring no details are overlooked.

• Custom Load Calculation: We perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the exact heating and cooling requirements of your specific floor plan. This prevents the common issues of "short cycling" (oversized units) or continuous running (undersized units).
• Site Preparation and Safety: Technicians prepare the installation site to protect your flooring and landscaping. This includes the safe removal and environmentally responsible disposal of your old equipment and refrigerants.
• Ductwork Inspection: Existing ductwork is inspected for leaks, disconnects, or insulation failures. A high-efficiency heat pump cannot perform well if the air it conditions is lost in the attic or crawlspace.
• High-Efficiency Equipment: We install units with high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratios (SEER) and Heating Seasonal Performance Factors (HSPF). These units are designed to consume less electricity while delivering superior output.
• Smart Thermostat Integration: Modern heat pumps pair best with smart thermostats that can modulate operations based on real-time weather and usage patterns.
• Post-Installation Testing: The job is not finished when the unit turns on. We perform static pressure testing, verify airflow, and measure refrigerant charge to ensure the system is tuned to manufacturer specifications.

How Our Heat Pump Installation Process Works

A structured installation process minimizes downtime and ensures that your home is returned to a comfortable temperature as quickly as possible. We prioritize clear communication and technical precision at every stage of the project — schedule service today.

• Consultation and Assessment:
  
  • The process begins with a technical assessment of your current system and home envelope. Technicians evaluate insulation levels, window quality, and ductwork condition.
  • Based on this data, we provide options for heat pump models that fit your efficiency goals and budget constraints.
  • We review financing options and available rebates to help you make an informed financial decision.

• Permitting and Scheduling:
  
  • Once a system is selected, we handle the acquisition of all necessary building permits required by the city or county.
  • Installation is scheduled at a time that minimizes disruption to your routine.

• Removal of Existing Equipment:
  
  • Power is disconnected safely, and any remaining refrigerant in the old system is recovered according to EPA regulations.
  • The old outdoor condenser and indoor air handler (or furnace) are disconnected and removed from the property.

• System Installation:
  
  • The new indoor coil and air handler are set in place, ensuring a tight seal with the existing plenum to prevent air leakage.
  • The outdoor unit is positioned on a composite pad to dampen vibration and keep the unit level.
  • Refrigerant lines are brazed with nitrogen flowing through the pipes to prevent oxidation, a critical step for the longevity of the compressor.

• Electrical and Drainage:
  
  • High-voltage and low-voltage electrical connections are established and tested for safety.
  • Condensate drain lines are installed with safety switches to prevent water damage in case of a blockage.

• Vacuum and Charge:
  
  • A vacuum pump is used to remove all moisture and non-condensables from the lines.
  • The system is charged with the precise amount of refrigerant required for the length of the line set.

• Final Walkthrough:
  
  • Technicians walk you through the operation of the new system, explaining filter changes, thermostat programming, and warranty details.

When Replacement Beats Repair: Upgrading to a New Heat Pump

Deciding between repairing an aging unit and investing in a new installation is a common dilemma. While repairs may seem cheaper upfront, the long-term costs of operating an inefficient or failing system often outweigh the price of an upgrade.

• Age of the System: If your current heat pump or AC is over 10 to 12 years old, it is likely nearing the end of its service life. Technology has advanced rapidly, and a 12-year-old unit is significantly less efficient than modern standards.
• Frequency of Breakdowns: If you have required repairs more than once in the last two years, or if the cost of a repair approaches 50% of the value of a new system, replacement is the more creating financial choice.
• Rising Energy Bills: An unexplained increase in electricity usage suggests that the internal components, such as the compressor or blower motor, are working harder to achieve the same result.
• Comfort Issues: Uneven temperatures, high humidity levels indoors, or excessive noise during operation are signs that the system can no longer effectively manage the climate in your home.
• R-22 Refrigerant: If your older system utilizes R-22 (Freon), it is obsolete. R-22 is no longer produced, making repairs that involve refrigerant prohibitively expensive and environmentally harmful.

Local Installation Specifics: Adhering to Codes and Rebate Opportunities

Installing a heat pump in Selma requires specific attention to regional requirements and climate challenges. The local climate features hot, humid summers where temperatures frequently surpass 90°F, and mild winters that can occasionally drop near freezing. This duality makes heat pumps an ideal choice, but only if they are installed correctly to handle the defrost cycles required in winter and the dehumidification load in summer.

• Permitting and Inspections: Local regulations strictly mandate that all HVAC replacements be permitted. This ensures that electrical connections meet safety standards and that the unit is properly sized for the home. We handle all paperwork and coordination with code enforcement officials.
• Electrical Requirements: transitioning from a gas furnace to an electric heat pump may require an upgrade to your electrical panel or the installation of new 240-volt circuits. Our assessment includes a review of your electrical capacity to ensure your home can support the new system.
• Condensate Management: Given the high humidity in the region, heat pumps generate significant amounts of condensate water during the cooling season. Proper drainage piping and emergency overflow pans are essential to prevent ceiling leaks or water damage.
• Rebates and Incentives: Local utility providers often offer rebates for homeowners who upgrade to high-efficiency heat pumps (often defined by SEER2 ratings). Additionally, federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act can provide significant financial relief for qualified equipment. We assist in identifying which specific models qualify for these savings.
