Jamestown Heat Pump Conversion

Helping a rural Boone County family transition from expensive propane to efficient electric heating.

The Challenge

The homeowners were spending over $3,500 per winter heating their 2,400 sq ft home with propane. The old furnace was inefficient, propane prices were volatile, and the family was concerned about both costs and environmental impact. They needed a solution that would work in Indiana's cold climate without breaking the bank.

Our Solution

After a thorough load calculation and energy audit, we recommended a cold-climate heat pump system with electric backup. This dual-fuel approach provides:

• Efficient heating down to -5°F without backup
• Electric resistance backup for extreme cold snaps
• All-in-one heating and cooling system
• Smart thermostat integration for optimal efficiency

Installation Details

Our 2-day installation process included:

1. Day 1: Removal of old propane furnace, ductwork modifications for optimal airflow, and installation of the new air handler.
2. Day 2: Outdoor condenser placement on a new concrete pad, refrigerant line installation, electrical connections, and system commissioning.

The Results

Customer Feedback

"We were skeptical about heat pumps in Indiana winters, but this system has been fantastic. Our home is more comfortable than ever, and our electric bills are actually lower than our old propane bills. The installation was clean and professional, and they took time to teach us how to use the new system."
