What we did
We replaced the heat pump at this Nicholasville home to improve comfort throughout the house. The job centered on installing the new unit and making sure it was set up to perform the way it was designed to.
During the installation, we added a total of 1 pound and 2 ounces of refrigerant to bring the system to the right level for efficient operation. With the work complete, the homeowner has reliable heating and cooling from the new heat pump.
A heat pump does double duty in central Kentucky, moving heat out of the house in summer and bringing it in during winter. That year-round workload is why the details of an installation matter. Refrigerant charge is one of the most important of those details. An undercharged or overcharged system can run longer, cost more to operate, and wear out sooner than it should. Recording exactly how much refrigerant we added gives a clear reference point for future service visits. For homeowners in Jessamine County considering a heat pump replacement, this is the kind of attention we try to bring to an install.
