Heat Pumps: Year-Round Comfort in One System
Heat pumps are a smart, efficient way to both heat and cool your home. Instead of burning fuel, they move heat—keeping you warm in the winter and cool in the summer, all from the same unit. They’re especially popular in climates like Pennsylvania, where we experience both extremes.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, today’s high-efficiency heat pumps can reduce electricity use for heating by up to 50% compared to electric resistance heating. (Source)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What types of heat pumps does JX Pro install?
JX Pro Heating and Cooling installs ducted air-source heat pumps, ductless mini-split heat pumps, and dual-fuel systems that pair a heat pump with a gas furnace backup. As a certified Rheem Pro Dealer and licensed contractor (License PA203730), we select and install the right heat pump configuration for each home’s layout, ductwork situation, and climate requirements. Call 717-600-4220 for a free estimate.
How does a heat pump provide both heating and cooling?
A heat pump uses a refrigerant cycle to move heat rather than generate it. In summer it extracts heat from indoor air and releases it outside, just like an air conditioner. In winter it reverses the cycle, extracting heat energy from outdoor air and moving it inside. Because it moves heat rather than creating it through combustion, a heat pump can deliver significantly more energy as heat than it consumes as electricity.
Are heat pumps effective in Pennsylvania winters?
Yes. Modern cold-climate heat pumps maintain effective heating output at outdoor temperatures well below freezing, and Pennsylvania winters are well within the operating range of current equipment. Older heat pump technology struggled below around 30 degrees Fahrenheit, but today’s variable-speed compressor systems perform efficiently at much lower temperatures. We discuss the right equipment specification for your local conditions during every estimate.
Is JX Pro licensed for heat pump installation in Pennsylvania?
Yes. JX Pro Heating and Cooling holds Pennsylvania HVAC contractor License PA203730 and is fully insured for heat pump installation work. As a certified Rheem Pro Dealer, our installations qualify for extended Rheem manufacturer warranties. Our BBB accreditation can be verified at https://www.bbb.org/us/pa/york/profile/heating-and-air-conditioning/jx-pro-heating-and-cooling-0241-236105297.
What is a dual-fuel heat pump system and is it right for my home?
A dual-fuel system pairs an electric heat pump with a gas furnace. The heat pump handles heating efficiently during mild and moderately cold weather, and the gas furnace takes over automatically when outdoor temperatures drop below the point where the heat pump is most cost-effective. Dual-fuel systems offer the best combination of efficiency during most of the heating season and reliable capacity during the coldest days. They are particularly well-suited to Pennsylvania’s climate.
How do I know whether a heat pump or a gas furnace is the better choice for my home?
The best choice depends on your current fuel costs, your home’s existing ductwork, the efficiency ratings of the equipment you are comparing, and your comfort priorities. We analyze all of these factors during a free estimate and give you a clear comparison of the expected operating costs and total investment for each option so you can make an informed decision.
What is the difference between a ducted and a ductless heat pump?
A ducted heat pump connects to your home’s existing ductwork and distributes conditioned air through supply registers throughout the home, just like a central air conditioner. A ductless mini-split heat pump connects an outdoor compressor to one or more wall-mounted indoor units without any ductwork. Ductless systems are ideal for homes without existing ductwork, room additions, and supplemental zones.
Do you offer financing for heat pump installation?
Yes. JX Pro Heating and Cooling offers financing through Synchrony for qualified homeowners, making a heat pump installation more accessible without a large upfront cost. Financing options are discussed during the free estimate. Call 717-600-4220 to ask about current terms and any available promotional rates.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
Most heat pump installations are completed in a single day. Dual-fuel system installations, projects requiring electrical panel upgrades, or multi-zone ductless installations may require additional time. We provide a realistic timeline during the free estimate so homeowners know what to expect before scheduling.
What brands of heat pumps does JX Pro install?
JX Pro Heating and Cooling is a certified Rheem Pro Dealer and installs Rheem heat pump systems with access to extended manufacturer warranty coverage and factory technical support. We also work with other leading heat pump manufacturers as the project requires.
What is the warranty on a heat pump installed by JX Pro?
As a certified Rheem Pro Dealer, JX Pro Heating and Cooling installations qualify for extended Rheem manufacturer warranties that exceed the coverage available from non-certified installers. We also back all installation workmanship with our 100% satisfaction guarantee. Specific warranty terms vary by equipment model and are reviewed during the estimate.
How does heat pump efficiency compare to a gas furnace?
Heat pumps are measured by COP (Coefficient of Performance) or HSPF (Heating Season Performance Factor) rather than AFUE. At moderate temperatures a heat pump delivers two to three units of heat energy for every unit of electrical energy it consumes, making it significantly more efficient than any combustion system. At very low temperatures the advantage narrows, which is why dual-fuel systems that combine a heat pump with a gas furnace backup are popular in climates like Pennsylvania’s.
Can a heat pump replace both my furnace and air conditioner?
Yes. A properly sized heat pump replaces both the heating and cooling functions of a separate furnace and air conditioner in a single system. This can reduce equipment costs, simplify maintenance, and improve year-round efficiency. We discuss the trade-offs and benefits of a combined heat pump system versus separate heating and cooling equipment during every estimate.
What electrical requirements does a heat pump installation involve?
Heat pumps require a dedicated 240-volt electrical circuit properly sized for the equipment. Many homes already have the right electrical infrastructure from their existing air conditioner. In some cases, a panel upgrade or new circuit is needed. We assess the electrical requirements during the estimate and include any needed electrical work in the project scope.
Does JX Pro install heat pumps for commercial properties?
JX Pro Heating and Cooling installs heat pump systems for light commercial properties including offices, apartment complexes, and retail spaces throughout York and Lebanon Counties. Call 717-600-4220 to discuss your commercial heat pump project.
What maintenance does a heat pump need after installation?
Heat pumps benefit from annual professional maintenance that includes refrigerant pressure checks, coil cleaning on both indoor and outdoor units, electrical component inspection, defrost control testing, filter replacement, and a full operational test in both heating and cooling modes. JX Pro Heating and Cooling maintenance plans starting at $17.99 per month cover heat pump tune-ups and provide priority service and repair discounts.
How does heat pump installation affect my home’s energy bills?
A properly sized heat pump typically reduces heating and cooling costs compared to operating separate older systems, particularly when replacing electric resistance heat or aging low-efficiency equipment. The actual savings depend on your current fuel mix, the efficiency rating of the new heat pump, and how your home’s heating and cooling loads compare to the system’s output. We discuss expected efficiency impacts during every estimate.
What is the defrost cycle on a heat pump and is it normal?
In heating mode, frost can accumulate on the outdoor coil during cold, humid conditions. The defrost cycle temporarily reverses the refrigerant flow to melt the frost, which causes the outdoor unit to steam briefly and the indoor supply air temperature to dip momentarily. This is completely normal heat pump operation and not a sign of a problem. Defrost cycles typically last two to ten minutes.
Can JX Pro install a heat pump in a home that currently has oil heat?
Yes. Replacing oil heat with an electric heat pump eliminates the need for oil delivery and storage while often reducing heating costs significantly. The project scope depends on whether the home has existing ductwork compatible with a forced-air heat pump or requires a ductless mini-split installation. We assess the best approach during a free estimate.
Are there any federal or state incentives for heat pump installation?
Federal tax credits and state rebate programs for heat pump installation have been available in recent years and continue to evolve. We recommend checking current IRS guidance on the Residential Clean Energy Credit and your local utility’s rebate programs before scheduling installation. We can discuss equipment that may qualify during your estimate.
What areas does JX Pro serve for heat pump installation?
JX Pro Heating and Cooling installs heat pumps throughout York, Lebanon, Lancaster, Harrisburg, Hershey, Hanover, Reading, Wyomissing, Elizabethtown, Columbia, and dozens of surrounding communities in York, Lebanon, Lancaster, Dauphin, and Berks Counties, PA.
Does JX Pro install cold-climate heat pumps?
Yes. We install modern variable-speed heat pumps designed to maintain effective heating output at low outdoor temperatures. Cold-climate heat pump specifications are discussed during the estimate to ensure the equipment selected will perform well through Pennsylvania winters without requiring excessive backup heat operation.
What should I expect on heat pump installation day?
Our technicians arrive at the scheduled time, protect floors and work areas, install the outdoor unit and indoor air handler or ductless heads, make all refrigerant, electrical, and control connections, run startup tests in both heating and cooling modes, verify all safety controls, and walk you through the thermostat before leaving. We clean up completely before we go.
How long does a heat pump system typically last?
A properly installed and annually maintained heat pump typically lasts 15 to 20 years. Systems that are correctly sized, professionally installed, and serviced annually consistently outperform and outlast equipment that does not receive this level of care. Enrolling in a maintenance plan after installation is the most effective way to maximize the system’s service life.
Can I get a smart thermostat with my new heat pump?
Yes. Smart thermostat installation compatible with your new heat pump is available during the installation appointment. Heat pumps require thermostats with auxiliary and emergency heat functionality, and we configure the thermostat correctly for your specific system during installation.
What is a heat pump’s HSPF rating and why does it matter?
HSPF stands for Heating Seasonal Performance Factor and measures heat pump heating efficiency over an entire season. A higher HSPF means lower heating costs. Current minimum standards and high-efficiency equipment options are discussed during every estimate so you can choose the efficiency level that best fits your budget and long-term savings goals.
Does removing an old heat pump and installing a new one require refrigerant recovery?
Yes. Refrigerant must be recovered from the old system before it is removed. Our technicians are EPA Section 608 certified for refrigerant handling, which is legally required for this work. Proper refrigerant recovery is included in the installation scope at no additional charge.
