What Is A Heat Pump?
A heat pump is an energy-efficient alternative to air conditioners and furnaces. Heat pumps use electricity to transfer heat from a cool space to a warm space, much like your refrigerator. Heat pumps don’t use combustion or burn fuel like traditional HVAC equipment, so you can keep your home comfortable year-round while enjoying significant savings on your energy bills.
Benefits Of A New Heat Pump
There are several advantages to having a heat pump unit vs a traditional furnace or air conditioning system. Here are a few:
Two Systems in One
Ditch your traditional heating system and air conditioner. Heat pumps provide warm air in the winter and cool air in the summer, so you only need one unit for year-round comfort.
More Energy Efficient
As we mentioned before, heat pumps transfer hot air from one place to another, so they don’t use as much energy to keep your house comfortable. Upgrade your HVAC equipment today with heat pump installation from Hans Heating & Air.
More Environmental Friendly
Heat pumps, unlike many other types of HVAC systems, are typically powered by electricity, rather than fossil fuels. This is a much cleaner process for the environment. If you are looking for a way to reduce the carbon footprint of your home, consider the benefits of installing a heat pump.

Heat Pump Installation FAQs
Find answers to frequently asked questions about our services.
How much does heat pump installation cost in Montgomery, AL?
Heat pump installation in Montgomery typically ranges from $5,500 to $9,000 for a standard residential air-source system, depending on system size, home square footage, ductwork condition, and efficiency rating. Higher SEER-rated systems (18+ SEER2) cost more upfront but qualify for the federal tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act — up to $2,000 for qualifying air-source heat pumps installed through 2032, covering 30% of installation cost up to that cap. Ductless mini-split heat pumps (for homes without existing ductwork) range from $3,500 to $8,000 per zone. Combined with utility rebates and GoodLeap financing, most homeowners recover the total investment in 5–8 years through energy savings alone.
How long does heat pump installation take?
Most residential heat pump installations in Montgomery take 6 to 10 hours and are completed in a single day. A straightforward replacement using existing ductwork typically finishes in 6–8 hours. Installations requiring new refrigerant line sets, electrical panel upgrades, or ductwork modifications can extend to 1–2 days. Complete system conversions (switching from AC + gas furnace to heat pump) typically take a full day due to removing two systems and installing one. Hans Heating and Air provides accurate timing during the free in-home assessment and completes over 85% of heat pump installations in a single day.
When is the best time to install a heat pump?
The best time to install a heat pump in Alabama is late spring through early fall — specifically May through September. Off-season installations offer three concrete advantages: pricing is typically 5–15% lower due to reduced HVAC demand, installation appointments are available within days instead of weeks, and you avoid the risk of your old system failing during the first cold snap when replacement contractors are booked solid. Since heat pumps handle both cooling and heating, replacing an aging AC in summer is the natural moment to switch to a heat pump instead of installing a like-for-like AC + separate heating combo. This is especially cost-effective when combined with federal tax credits and utility rebates that are typically fully available year-round but tied to installation date.
What size heat pump do I need for my Montgomery home?
Heat pump size is measured in tons (12,000 BTU per ton) and depends on square footage, insulation quality, window efficiency, ceiling height, and Alabama’s climate zone. As a rough guideline, Montgomery homes typically need 1 ton per 500–600 square feet — meaning a 2,000 square foot home usually requires a 3.5–4 ton heat pump. However, oversized heat pumps short-cycle (turning on and off frequently), which reduces efficiency, wears out the compressor faster, and fails to properly dehumidify the home — a significant issue in Alabama’s humid summers. Undersized systems can’t maintain temperature during peak heat or cold. A professional Manual J load calculation performed during the free in-home assessment is the only accurate way to determine the correct size for your specific home.
Do heat pumps qualify for tax credits and rebates in Alabama?
Yes. The Inflation Reduction Act’s 25C tax credit provides up to $2,000 for qualifying air-source heat pumps installed through 2032, covering 30% of installation cost up to that cap. The system must meet ENERGY STAR criteria and specific efficiency thresholds (typically SEER2 15.2+ and HSPF2 7.8+ for central Alabama). Additional rebates may be available through Alabama Power and other local utility companies. Hans Heating and Air provides documentation needed for tax filing and can help identify systems that qualify for maximum incentives. Combined with GoodLeap financing, homeowners can install a high-efficiency system with minimal upfront cost while capturing the credit at tax filing.
Do you offer financing for heat pump installation?
Yes. Hans Heating and Air offers flexible financing through GoodLeap for new heat pump installations, with multiple term options and competitive rates. Financing makes it possible to install a higher-efficiency system that reduces monthly energy bills while spreading the installation cost over manageable payments. Applications are typically approved same-day during your free in-home consultation, giving you a decision before the visit ends. Combined with the federal tax credit (up to $2,000) and utility rebates, most homeowners can install a premium heat pump system with little or no upfront cost.
