Ducted
This is a whole-home system, not a single wall head.
Universal

A central heat pump that connects to the ducts you already have. The outdoor unit and the air handler are separate.

How it goes in
A central heat pump on R-454B
A central system only works if the ducts, the electrical, and the pad or roof can take it. How Much? checks those before a unit is ordered, then sets the equipment and starts it.
- 01Measure the houseLoad, ducts, and electrical decide the tonnage. The photo on this page does not.
- 02Set the equipmentOutdoor unit, indoor coil or air handler, line set, and drain, in that order.
- 03Prove it runsTemperatures, pressures, and the thermostat are checked before the job is called done.
The facts that matter
Sized on site
2 to 5 ton is the usual range. The right one is picked after a look at the house.
How Much? installs it
Sale and install stay with the same company.
Price after the visit
Good, Better, and Best are priced once Andy has seen the job.
Why this one
Whole-house heat and cool, on the ducts you have
Universal is a central heat pump. The outdoor unit and the air handler are separate, and they tie into ductwork that can actually move the air. R-454B is the refrigerant this generation is built around. Tonnage is a site decision.
One system for the rooms that share ducts
If the house was built with ducts and the ducts are sound, you do not need a head in every room. A heat pump covers heating and cooling from the equipment you already understand: a thermostat, registers, a filter.
The ducts get a vote
A new condenser on tired, crushed, or undersized ducts just moves the complaint from the equipment to the vents. We look at airflow before anyone spends the money. If the ducts cannot carry the tonnage, the quote says that.
Heat without a second appliance
A heat pump is the path when you want one system for both seasons. If the house is staying on gas heat, the honest answer is a furnace and a coil, not this box. We will tell you which one you are actually buying.
Questions
Can this replace what I have now?
Often yes, if the ducts and the electrical can support the new size. That is what the first visit is for.
Do I pick the tonnage here?
You can tell us what you think you need. Andy confirms it. Ordering the wrong tonnage is an expensive mistake.
