Heat Pump Installation and Service in North Jersey

A heat pump is a central air conditioner that runs in reverse in winter, pulling heat from the outdoor air and moving it inside. Older heat pumps struggled in the Northeast. Current cold-climate models keep producing useful heat well below freezing, which is why more North Jersey homeowners are asking about them.

Master's Plumbing installs and services ducted heat pumps, ductless heat pumps and dual-fuel systems that pair a heat pump with your existing gas furnace or boiler. We will tell you plainly where a heat pump fits your house and where it does not.

A heat pump may be right for you if

  • Your central air is due for replacement and you want heating from the same equipment
  • You heat with oil or electric baseboard and want another option
  • You have a furnace or boiler that still works and want to run it less
  • You are adding space the existing heating system cannot reach
  • You want to cut gas use without giving up a backup on the coldest nights
  • You want to look into utility or state incentive programs for efficient equipment

Heat pump services we provide

  • Cold-climate ducted heat pumps

    Whole-house systems that replace a central air condenser and use your existing ductwork, with an air handler that includes electric backup heat for the coldest stretches.

  • Dual-fuel systems

    A heat pump paired with your gas furnace or boiler. The heat pump handles mild and moderate days. The gas system takes over below a set outdoor temperature, so you get efficiency most of the year and full heat when it is single digits out.

  • Ductless heat pumps

    Mini-split heat pumps for homes without ducts, sized room by room.

  • Heat pump repair

    Reversing valves, defrost controls, outdoor fan motors, capacitors, refrigerant leaks and auxiliary heat problems on all major brands.

  • Sizing and controls

    Heat pumps are sized for the heating load as well as the cooling load, and the thermostat is set up so backup heat runs only when it should. Both are commonly done wrong.

  • “If you need work done and don't want to waste money on the same repair call Moe. Truly wished I found the company sooner, it would've saved me a lot of headache and expenses. When I called and explained my situation, without seeing the repair he already knew what needed to be done. He visited the same day and shortly after fixed a damaged pipe that could've taken out the lower half of my home. On site, Moe thoroughly explained the repairs needed at a reasonable cost. Polite, professional and truly knowledgeable.”

  • “Master's was a godsend. We called late at night when our basement started flooding out of nowhere and Moe immediately came over. He was able to fix our issue and walked us through what caused it, what to expect, how to handle it if it happens again, and long term fix options. He was outstanding and I highly recommend Moe and Master's!”

FAQ

Heat Pumps questions, answered

Do heat pumps work when it is below freezing?
Cold-climate models do. They keep producing heat at temperatures well below zero, though output and efficiency drop as it gets colder. The system is sized and set up so backup heat covers the gap on the coldest nights.
What happens on the very coldest nights?
Either the electric backup heat in the air handler kicks in, or in a dual-fuel setup the furnace or boiler takes over. You stay warm either way, and the gas system only runs on the handful of days it is needed.
Can I keep my boiler and still add a heat pump?
Yes. A common North Jersey setup is a ducted or ductless heat pump for cooling and mild-weather heating, with the boiler and radiators handling deep winter. It is a good way to get central air into a radiator house while cutting gas use.
Are there rebates for heat pumps?
Utility and state incentive programs may apply depending on the equipment and your utility. Programs change, so ask us when you call and we will point you to what is current.
