Is It Time to Replace Your Heat Pump?
When your heat pump is nearing the end of its life, you’ll often notice the following warning signs that it’s due for replacement:
- Rising energy bills with no change in usage
- Uneven temperatures between rooms or floors
- Frequent repairs and costly parts
- Repeated cycling without reaching the set temperature
- Your system is over 12 years old
- It still uses older refrigerant that’s being phased out
Depending on the age and condition of your system, repair or replacement might be the smarter investment. Our team evaluates your system, explains what we find, and recommends the best solution for your home and budget.

Types of Heat Pumps We Can Install or Replace
Our experienced technicians install all makes and models of heat pumps for PNW homes. Whether you need a traditional ducted system for whole-home comfort or a mini-split heat pump for targeted zones, we’ll match the right equipment to your home.
Traditional ducted heat pumps
We install and replace traditional ducted heat pumps to heat and cool homes with existing ductwork. Our team inspects and seals your ducts before installation when needed, so your new system performs the way it was designed to.
Ductless heat pumps
Our ductless mini-split heat pump installations and replacements are ideal for homes without ductwork, as well as additions, bonus rooms, and garage conversions. We design zoned ductless mini-split heat pump systems that give you comfort control where you need it most.
How We Determine the Right Heat Pump for Your Home
When installing a new heat pump in your home, we don’t just match the size of your old unit. There are several factors we evaluate to make sure your heat pump fits your home’s needs, including:
- Your home size and layout: We use your square footage, ceiling height, and floor plan to understand how heat moves through your home.
- Insulation: We’ll check where it’s missing, thin, or displaced so your new system isn’t fighting against heat loss.
- Air leakage: Our technicians look for gaps in your building envelope that could force your heat pump to work harder than necessary.
- Ductwork condition: Leaking or undersized ducts can waste conditioned or heated air before it reaches your rooms.
- Existing HVAC setup: We look at your current equipment to learn what’s been working, what hasn’t, and why.
- Heating and cooling loads: Our technicians perform a load calculation to determine exactly how much heating and cooling your home needs.
- Comfort goals: We’ll ask what rooms you use most, what temperatures you prefer, and any issues with your current system.
Heat Pump Installation vs. Heat Pump Replacement
Our heat pump installation and replacement services cover new installations and upgrades from aging equipment. Whether you’re switching from a traditional furnace or baseboard heat, or need to replace an existing heat pump, we’ll design a system tailored to your Pacific Northwest home.
Installing a heat pump in an existing home
Tired of a furnace that only heats, or have a home with no cooling at all? A heat pump provides two-in-one heating and cooling for your PNW home in a single system. We’ll walk you through your options, determine whether you need a ducted or ductless system, and explain any improvements to tighten up your home and help you install a smaller, more efficient system.
Replacing an existing heat pump
If your current system is nearing the end of its lifespan or heat pump repairs no longer make financial sense, we’ll replace it with a unit that’s properly sized for your home. Our technicians assess your current setup to see if the original system was sized correctly, evaluate how your home is performing, re-run the sizing, and confirm the best heat pump replacement for your needs.

Heat Pump Installation and Replacement Process
At Revival Heating & Cooling, we follow a step-by-step HVAC installation and replacement process that puts your home first. Here’s what you can expect:
- Home assessment: We’ll walk through your home to understand your comfort concerns and the existing conditions affecting performance.
- Existing system evaluation: Our team will inspect your current setup, determine what’s working, and identify what isn’t.
- Load reduction opportunities: We take time to explain any home services like air sealing, insulation improvements, or ductwork repairs that can tighten your home and reduce your heating and cooling load.
- System sizing: We’ll perform a professional load calculation to size your system and match your equipment to your home’s needs.
- Unit recommendations: Our technicians will review your options, explain the differences, and walk you through financing or rebates that can help offset the upfront cost.
- Installation: We remove your existing system if necessary, install your new heat pump to code, and complete any associated electrical work.
- Final testing: Before leaving, we’ll confirm your system is operating properly by checking airflow, refrigerant charge, and overall performance.
Ducted vs. Ductless Heat Pump Installation
When installing a new heat pump, you can choose a ducted or ductless system. The right choice depends on your existing ductwork, your home’s layout, and your comfort goals.
Ducted heat pump installation
Ducted heat pumps make sense for homes with existing ductwork in good condition. They provide whole-home control from a single thermostat and provide year-round comfort.
Ductless heat pump installation
Ductless heat pumps make more sense for homes without ductwork, or for additions or bonus rooms that need independent temperature control. We provide ductless heat pump installations featuring wall- or ceiling-mounted indoor units to heat and cool each zone separately.
Heat Pump Installation Electrical Requirements
Heat pump installation requires a properly sized circuit, a disconnect, and in some homes a panel evaluation. At Revival Heating & Cooling, we handle all HVAC-related electrical work, so you don’t have to coordinate with a separate electrical company. Our technicians are trained to complete electrical connections up to code so your system runs right from day one.
Does Your Home Need More Than a New Heat Pump?
If your home leaks air or lacks insulation, there may be underlying issues to address before installing a new heat pump. Pacific Northwest homes with attic air leaks, thin insulation, or leaky ducts lose conditioned or heated air every day, causing your system to work overtime no matter how new it is.
We look at your home before recommending equipment to reduce the heating and cooling load before you invest in a new system. Common improvements we recommend to make your home need less include:
- Air sealing: Closing gaps in the building envelope and attic to prevent conditioned air from escaping.
- Insulation improvements: Adding or correcting insulation where it’s missing or underperforming.
- Duct sealing or upgrades: Keeping the air your system produces inside the ducts and delivering it where it’s needed.
Our home comfort assessments and energy audits identify these issues before or alongside your system installation. It’s the foundation of The 2° Standard to make your home need less, then install the right-sized system.

Frequently Asked Questions About Heat Pump Installation
Is it better to repair or replace an older heat pump?
If your heat pump is under 10 years old and the repair is minor, a repair is often the better value. If it’s over 12 years old, needs constant repairs, or uses a phased-out refrigerant, a ducted or ductless heat pump replacement often becomes the better long-term investment.
How long does a heat pump typically last?
Heat pumps typically last between 12 and 15 years. Proper sizing, quality installation, and annual maintenance help extend that lifespan.
Is a heat pump a good choice for a PNW home?
Heat pumps are ideal for Pacific Northwest homes, providing efficient heating and cooling through the mild winters and warm summers. Modern cold-climate models also offer reliable heating when temperatures fall below freezing.
