Heat Pump Installation and Replacement in North Georgia

A heat pump heats and cools your home with one system, so a poor install shows up twice a year: once in July and again in January. Comfort Medics installs and replaces heat pumps for homeowners across North Georgia from our base in Kingston. We’re licensed and insured (GA. REG. CR2011437), with 17 years of HVAC experience behind the work and a person answering our phone 24/7.

Commissioned, Not Just Turned On

Refrigerant charge and airflow matter more on a heat pump than on almost any other system, so we commission it. As they apply to your equipment, we:

• flow nitrogen while brazing and pressure test to the manufacturer’s specifications
• flush existing refrigerant lines when reusing them is appropriate
• pull a deep vacuum and verify it holds
• confirm the charge with superheat and subcooling, and evaluate the TXV where the equipment supports it
• measure airflow and static pressure
• check supply voltage, amp draws and control-board settings

It’s all part of the Comfort Medics Installation Standard.

Replace Just the Outdoor Unit, or the Whole System?

Replacing only the outdoor heat pump works when your indoor air handler is compatible with the new unit. We check that at the free in-home estimate. We size the new heat pump with a load calculation for your home. If the air handler is old or mismatched, we’ll price a complete system so you can compare.

Starting prices, as of November 2026 (installed):

• Heat pump outdoor unit only (air handler not included): starting at $2,000 (typically $2,000 to $6,000)
• Complete heat pump system (heat pump and air handler): starting at $7,000

Your final price depends on your home’s size, the capacity it needs, the efficiency level, ductwork, electrical work and where the equipment sits. Removal and disposal of your old equipment is included. See the full HVAC replacement cost guide.

Electrical Work and Your Utility

A new heat pump or outdoor unit may need electrical work. The utility side is handled by whoever serves your address, which could be Georgia Power, a city utility or an EMC. We check the electrical requirements of the new equipment at the estimate.

Ductless Mini-Splits for Additions and Problem Rooms

Not every space is on the ductwork. For a home addition, bonus room or garage conversion, a ductless mini-split heat pump can heat and cool that space on its own. We recently installed a ductless mini-split for a home addition in Roswell. Ductless brands we install include Mitsubishi, LG and Durastar (see HVAC brands we install).

Heat Pump or Gas Furnace?

If your home has gas, we can price both a heat pump and a gas furnace replacement at the same visit, so you can compare upfront cost and how each fits your house. We also install dual-fuel systems (a heat pump paired with a gas furnace) and 95%+ high-efficiency furnaces.

Brands and Warranty

We install Goodman heat pumps and other major brands. Every new system comes with:

• a 10-year manufacturer parts warranty on qualifying equipment (registration may be required)
• a 10-year labor warranty from Comfort Medics
• our lifetime craftsmanship guarantee

Optional third-party extended coverage, such as JB Warranties, is available.

Financing

Financing is available through FTL Finance and other lenders, for new systems and repairs, subject to credit approval. See how financing works.

Heat Pump FAQ

How much does a heat pump cost to install?

As of November 2026, an outdoor heat pump unit alone starts at $2,000 installed (typically $2,000 to $6,000, air handler not included), and a complete heat pump system starts at $7,000. You get an exact price after a free in-home estimate.

How long does a heat pump changeout take?

Most changeouts take about 2–3 hours. Ductwork or electrical changes, when they’re needed, can add time.

Can you replace just my outdoor unit?

Often, yes, if your indoor air handler is compatible with the new heat pump. We check compatibility at the estimate.

Can a mini-split heat and cool an addition?

Yes. A ductless mini-split heat pump can handle a room or addition that isn’t on your ductwork.

Do you pull a permit?

Yes, on every replacement.

What warranty comes with a new heat pump?

A 10-year manufacturer parts warranty on qualifying equipment (registration may be required), a 10-year labor warranty from Comfort Medics and our lifetime craftsmanship guarantee.
