How our NATE-certified technicians deliver quality heat pump installation results from start to finish.
We perform a Manual J load calculation on your home to determine the correct heat pump size in BTU capacity and tonnage. Oversizing causes short cycling and humidity problems. Undersizing leaves you uncomfortable on extreme days.
Our Englewood team presents equipment options that fit your load calculation results and budget. We explain the differences between single-stage, two-stage, and variable-speed compressors, discuss R-410A versus R-32 refrigerants, and help you choose the best system for your Englewood home.
KIC Refrigeration installs your new heat pump in Englewood, OH to manufacturer and code requirements. We flow nitrogen during all brazing to prevent internal oxidation, pressure test to 300 PSI with dry nitrogen, evacuate to below 500 microns, weigh in the factory refrigerant charge, and verify all electrical connections with a torque screwdriver.
We run the system through heating and cooling modes, verify pressures, airflow, and temperatures match specifications, program the thermostat, and walk you through daily operation, filter maintenance, and warranty registration.

Heat pump installation in Englewood typically costs $5,000 to $12,000 for a standard split system including the outdoor condenser, indoor air handler or coil, new thermostat, refrigerant lineset, and all labor. High-efficiency variable-speed systems from Carrier, Trane, or Daikin with SEER2 ratings of 18 to 22 range from $10,000 to $18,000 installed. Ductless mini-split systems run $3,000 to $8,000 depending on the number of indoor zones. The total price depends on home size, system tonnage, efficiency tier, ductwork condition, and whether electrical upgrades are needed. KIC Refrigeration provides detailed proposals for Englewood homeowners with all costs itemized and no hidden fees.
A single-stage heat pump has a compressor that runs at 100 percent capacity or shuts off completely. It cycles on and off throughout the day, causing 2 to 4 degree temperature swings, higher humidity levels, and more wear on components. A variable-speed inverter compressor modulates continuously from 25 to 100 percent capacity to match the exact heating or cooling load at any moment. The result is tighter temperature control within 0.5 degrees, 30 to 40 percent lower energy consumption, significantly quieter operation at 55 to 65 decibels versus 72 to 78 for single-stage, and better humidity control in cooling mode. KIC Refrigeration explains the trade-offs and helps Englewood homeowners choose the right technology for their comfort expectations and budget.
The federal minimum efficiency for heat pumps is 15 SEER2 in the southern region and 14.3 SEER2 in the northern region as of January 2023. Systems rated 17 to 21 SEER2 deliver significantly lower monthly cooling costs and typically qualify for utility rebates in OH as well as the federal energy tax credit of up to $2,000 per year. The payback period for upgrading from a 15 to a 20 SEER2 system is typically 5 to 8 years in Englewood depending on your usage and electricity rates. KIC Refrigeration calculates projected energy savings for each efficiency tier so you can make an informed decision based on real numbers rather than guesswork.
A standard heat pump replacement in Englewood where the existing ductwork and electrical service are adequate takes 1 full day — typically 6 to 10 hours from start to commissioning. New installations that require ductwork modifications, electrical panel upgrades, new concrete pads, or multiple zone setups may take 2 to 3 days. Mini-split installations with 2 to 4 indoor heads typically take 1 to 2 days. KIC Refrigeration provides a detailed timeline in your proposal, schedules the installation at a time that works for you, and keeps you informed on progress throughout the project at your Englewood property.
