When your home comfort depends on a single system to handle both heating and cooling, the equipment needs to be efficient, durable, and well-matched to Kansas weather. 

A properly installed heat pump offers year-round control and better energy performance than traditional HVAC setups.

Dunco Heating, Cooling & Plumbing provides professional heat pump installation for homeowners in Lawrence, Topeka, Baldwin, and nearby communities. You might be replacing an older unit, upgrading your current setup, or building a new home. 

In any case, our team delivers honest guidance, skilled workmanship, and long-term support.

What Is a Heat Pump?

A heat pump is a versatile HVAC system that provides both heating and cooling. It works by transferring heat instead of generating it, making it an energy-efficient alternative to furnaces and air conditioners.

Common features of modern heat pumps include:

• Year-round comfort from a single unit
• Compatibility with ducted and ductless systems
• Efficient performance, even during Kansas winters
• Options for all-electric or dual-fuel configurations
• Quiet operation with minimal maintenance needs

If you're upgrading an outdated system or planning your HVAC setup for the first time, choosing the right size and type of heat pump is key to maintaining comfort and efficiency.

How Does a Heat Pump Work?

Rather than burning fuel to produce heat, a heat pump uses refrigerant and a compressor to move heat from one place to another.

Here’s how it works:

• In summer, it extracts heat from inside your home and transfers it outside.
• In winter, it pulls heat from the outdoor air and moves it indoors.
• A reversing valve changes the refrigerant flow, switching between heating and cooling modes.
• Because it moves heat rather than creating it, a heat pump can deliver up to three times more energy than it consumes.

Do You Need One?

A new heat pump can be a smart upgrade. However, not every home starts from the same point. If you’re dealing with frequent repairs, rising utility bills, or uneven temperatures, it may be time to consider installing a new system.

Signs it’s time to install a new heat pump:

• Your current unit is more than 10 to 15 years old
• You rely on separate systems for heating and cooling
• You've had repeated HVAC repairs recently
• You want to lower energy use or qualify for rebates
• You’re building a new home or adding square footage

The team at Dunco will help you choose a system that fits your home and goals. Our recommendations are based on what works best for your comfort and long-term savings.
