Heat Pump Installation & Repair

Expert Virginia Beach Heating & Cooling Technicians

Heat pumps are a safe and economical way to control the temperature in your home. Consisting of two units—one indoor unit and one outdoor—heat pumps are an alternative to traditional heating and cooling methods, like a gas or electric furnace. These systems warm your home through the transfer of heat from the air, ground, or water, instead of through the burning of fuel, wood, gas, or oil. The outdoor unit absorbs heat and distributes it through the indoor unit and into your Virginia Beach home.

What Are the Benefits of Heat Pumps?

Year-Round Versatility

The same heat pump can be used for both heating and cooling. When in heating mode, the heat pump pulls warm air from outside the home and transfers it to the interior—keeping you and your family warm. In the summer, you can switch the pump into air conditioning mode to cool the inside of the house. The pump reverses its process and extracts heat from inside the home to be released outside. Heat pumps with a programmable thermostat are available to keep your home at a comfortable temperature year-round.

Reduced Risk of Fire Hazards

Unlike a furnace heater or wood-burning stove, a heat pump does not have any hot surfaces that can potentially burn a child or pet by accident. The pump does not use combustion to generate its heat, so there are no open flames. Heat pumps are safe to use overnight or when the home is unattended.

Better Air Quality

Heat pumps do not dry out the air inside your home like a conventional heater, so there is no need for a humidifier. Because no oxygen is needed for combustion, the room will not become stuffy as the heat pump runs, and you can use a heat pump to circulate air in the home without heating or cooling it.

A filter inside the pump removes pollutants from the air before releasing it back into its designated room or area. This makes heat pumps especially beneficial for people who suffer from allergies, asthma, or other respiratory problems.

Improved Energy Efficiency

Heat pumps are three to four times more efficient than oil and gas heaters. Over the course of a year, this can add up to significant savings on your utility bills. Conventional heating systems produce less than one kilowatt of heating for every kilowatt of energy they consume. Modern heat pumps can generate at least three kilowatts of heating power per kilowatt of energy input.

Less Waste Produced

No waste products are created when a heat pump transfers warmth from one location to another. The only energy that is required to operate a heat pump is the electricity needed to power the compressor. The refrigerant used in most of today’s heat pumps has been certified as safe for the ozone layer.

Rave Reviews From Happy Customers

“Randy B. and Kevin G. work for American Mechanical as HVAC specialists. They recently replaced all of the air conditioning and heating ducts in my home. Both Randy and Kevin are skilled professionals and are a well organized team. They were both courteous, dres neat and I always got a call or e-mail to let me know they were coming to my home. American Mechanical is fortunate to have them in their employment!” - Bob D.
“GENERAC advised me to have a generator safety check performed. American Mechanical was recommended as an authorized company. I was so impressed by the professionalism, it started from the first call made to set the appointment. I love the reminder text messages provided by this company, keeping you up to date along with the picture of your technician coming to your home. Jason Gay, the technician was icing on the cake. Oh my, you could feel his genuine attitude and confidence that he knew he worked with a great company. It’s nice to see loyalty from employees. It means to me, the company takes care of their employees and in turn, the employees take good care of their clients. Technicians can make or break a company. I actually called three other companies on the recommended companies and I did not get a warm feeling on any of those. They could not even tell me when they could come out. American Mechanical scheduled an appointment with me within a few days and the technician was on time, with a friendly smile and a warm hand shake. Also when Jason speaks with you he looks directly into your eyes. That means he is listening to your questions and concerns. I don’t get that much anymore from most companies. I can tell you that you have a home run hit with Jason Gay. He thoroughly checked my generator and took the time to explain the maintenance plans offered by his company. He also gave me helpful safety tips that were very important. I have now found a go to company because of his visit, that I feel will do what they promise to do for most of my household need for repairs. It is so hard to find great companies that really care. I highly recommend American Mechanical! Thanks again Jason for having those good old fashioned business etiquette that rarely exists in today’s time.” - Regina W
“Sales, installation and service was first rate! I truly appreciate the service rendered over a two day period by Tony J. and Taylor B. They were on time and most professional. I left a BBB rating with five stars for each gentleman. American Mechanical is a wonderful company with superb employees. I love my new HVAC Trane system and will enjoy it for many years to come!” - Mike W.
“My husband and I have been so very impressed with American Mechanical and their staff! We are having electrical upgrades and a GENERAC back up generator installed for our home. Jason was our first contact. He met with us, answered our many questions, inspected the house and gave us suggestions. Jason made us feel very comfortable with our decision to have this work accomplished. The technicians at our house were Jon, Rodney and Tim. They were such hard workers! All were very friendly, patient with all my questions and made us feel relaxed and comfortable having them at our residence. In addition, Kirsti has been our contact regarding scheduling. She has been most helpful with keeping us informed about when and what would be happening. Highly recommend this company! Excellent employees!” - Sandra P.
“What an INCREDIBLE company to work with! Kirsti in the office helped us get the right people out here for the situation we had going on. Shaw inspected our old system, told us it was done. Scoped the duct lines prior to putting together a plan for a new system, once the duct work checked out passable the new system came together beautifully! Bobby and Dillon showed up and got to work a day earlier than expected (which is wonderful with temps expected to reach 90 degrees and we had no air conditioning). By the end of day one we had air conditioning downstairs, On day two of the installation we had air conditioning upstairs. They fully explained EVERYTHING. No question was left hanging. They fixed things I didn’t realize were a problem. Definitely a company I would recommend to everyone I know. Thank you American Mechanical from start to finish, GREAT JOB!” - Stacy D.
“HVAC Solutions Specialist – Mr. Mike Hayes – TOP SHELF Mike came to our house as a “second opinion” regarding replacing our two HVAC units. He was very personal, professional, and knowledgeable and we felt very comfortable and hopeful after talking with him. He took the time to educate us on our systems and even noted that one of our systems was still under warranty. Since we are on a fixed income, it was a true testament of Mike’s character and work ethic to have someone educate us instead of sell. Did you know the date your HVAC was installed is actually the date the warranty starts and not the date on the equipment? I am confident that once we are free from our current maintenance agreement with the other company, we will call on Mike and American Mechanical for any future needs as their mission statement holds true with our experience: PEOPLE – TRUST – VALUE. Thank you…” - Sherry B.
“James, Rich took care of me today and we signed a contract for two more bathrooms and included a vent for the third. I continue to be a raving American Mechanical fan. Very pleased all around with your company. Please let your leadership know how well you all do. For me to experience such consistency in service level all around reflects very well on the leadership and management of your company. I’ve worked in the client service industry over 25 years and I know it starts at the top when delivering client service. I’ve dealt with so many American Mechanical employees and get that genuine high level of service every time. But I wouldn’t be starting my third project if your initial sales person , who I believe is Rodger, had not been so persistent in following up on my Home Advisor inquiry for my first job. I had already had three quotes but he called me back four or five times in two days- and that is why I ended up with American Mechanical and got what I thought was the best deal. Of course, Neil was exceptional in closing me on the first deal. After that, why would we bother to get anyone else for the additional work we need? If anyone ever asks for a reference, please use me. I look forward to the next projects! I think rewarding your employees for 5 star reviews is a brilliant idea. Happy employees make for happy clients!” - Millie W
“I am just trying to figure out how to brag on all of the guys – Mike, Bobby, Dillon, Tony, Taylor and David (hope I did not miss anyone) that just installed our new HVAC unit on Thursday. What a professional company you are…from the detailed comparison pricing after Mike reviewed our issues to the fact that every single one of your guys introduced themselves, shook our hands and explained what they would be doing. Drop cloths, booties and immaculate clean up; before and after pictures and just the total experience! Your company gave us an experience that impressed us. We hope to do additional business with you in the future. Thank you again.” - Karen G.
“Sean and everyone I’ve dealt with at American Mechanical have been a real pleasure to do work with. Top notch customer service and they don’t treat you like just a number. Good pricing and they give you lots of options and walk you through every detail. Can’t say enough good things!” - Caleb S.
