Professional Heat Pump Installation
Energy Efficient Climate Control in Las Vegas and Reno
A heat pump is a versatile, energy-efficient solution for maintaining the perfect temperature in your home year-round, especially in climates like those found in Las Vegas and Reno. Whether you need heating during the chilly winter months in Reno or cooling relief during the scorching summers in Las Vegas, a properly installed heat pump is your answer. At Legacy Air Conditioning, Heating, Plumbing, and Electrical, we specialize in high-quality heat pump installation services, ensuring your home remains comfortable and your energy bills stay low.
Why Choose a Heat Pump for Your Home?
Heat pumps are an excellent option for homeowners seeking an efficient heating and cooling system. Unlike traditional HVAC systems that rely on separate units for heating and cooling, heat pumps work by transferring heat, allowing them to function both as a heater in the winter and an air conditioner in the summer.
Here are some reasons why a heat pump might be the best choice for your home:
Energy Efficiency
One of the key benefits of a heat pump is its energy efficiency. Because heat pumps transfer heat rather than generating it, they use significantly less energy than traditional heating systems. This efficiency can lead to substantial savings on your energy bills, particularly if you’re replacing an older, less efficient system.
Year-Round Comfort
A heat pump provides both heating and cooling, eliminating the need for separate air conditioning and heating units. This means your home stays comfortable in every season, whether you’re dealing with Las Vegas’ sweltering summers or Reno’s colder winter nights. With the right heat pump system, you can achieve optimal comfort all year long.
Environmentally Friendly
Heat pumps are a greener option compared to traditional HVAC systems, as they don’t rely on fossil fuels to generate heat. By using electricity to move heat rather than creating it, heat pumps reduce your home’s carbon footprint, making them a great choice for environmentally conscious homeowners.
Our Heat Pump Installation Process
At Legacy Air Conditioning, Heating, Plumbing, and Electrical, we follow a detailed, step-by-step installation process to ensure your heat pump is set up correctly and operates at peak efficiency. Here’s what you can expect when you choose us for your heat pump installation:
In-Home Consultation
Before we begin the installation, we’ll schedule an in-home consultation to assess your needs. Our expert technicians will evaluate the size of your home, your insulation, and your heating and cooling requirements. This allows us to recommend the most suitable heat pump system for your space and ensure it meets your comfort and efficiency goals.
Sizing and Selection
Choosing the right size heat pump is crucial for efficiency and performance. A unit that’s too small won’t adequately heat or cool your home, while one that’s too large will cycle on and off too frequently, wasting energy. Based on the results of our consultation, we’ll help you select the appropriate size and model of heat pump that fits your home’s specific needs.
Professional Installation
Once you’ve selected the right system, our certified technicians will handle the installation process from start to finish. We adhere to strict industry standards, ensuring that your heat pump is installed safely and correctly. This includes:
- Mounting the outdoor unit: The outdoor unit of your heat pump must be positioned properly to ensure optimal airflow and efficiency. We take care to place it in a location that minimizes noise and exposure to the elements.
- Installing the indoor unit: Whether it’s a ducted or ductless system, our team ensures that the indoor unit is properly placed to deliver even heating and cooling throughout your home.
- Connecting the system: We carefully connect the heat pump to your home’s electrical system and set up the refrigerant lines, ensuring everything is functioning as it should.
Testing and Calibration
Once the installation is complete, we thoroughly test the system to make sure it’s working efficiently. This includes checking the refrigerant levels, airflow, and thermostat calibration. We also make sure the system switches seamlessly between heating and cooling modes, so you’re ready for any season.
Ongoing Support and Maintenance
At Legacy, we don’t just leave after the installation. We offer ongoing support and maintenance services to keep your heat pump running efficiently for years to come. Regular tune-ups can prevent potential issues, extend the lifespan of your system, and ensure it continues to deliver the energy savings you expect.
Types of Heat Pumps We Install
There are different types of heat pumps to choose from, depending on your home’s layout, your budget, and your specific heating and cooling needs. Here’s a quick overview of the types of heat pumps we install:
Air-Source Heat Pumps
Air-source heat pumps are the most common type and work by transferring heat between your home and the outside air. These systems are highly efficient, even in colder temperatures, and can provide both heating and cooling. Air-source heat pumps are ideal for homes in moderate climates like Las Vegas and Reno.
Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pumps
If your home doesn’t have existing ductwork or you want to avoid the expense of installing ducts, a ductless mini-split heat pump is a great option. These systems consist of an outdoor unit and one or more indoor units, which can be installed in different rooms for zoned heating and cooling. Ductless systems offer flexibility and are perfect for homes with varying temperature needs in different areas.
Geothermal Heat Pumps
For homeowners looking for maximum energy efficiency, geothermal heat pumps are an excellent choice. These systems transfer heat between your home and the ground, which maintains a more consistent temperature than the air. While geothermal heat pumps have a higher upfront cost, they provide significant long-term savings on energy bills and have a much longer lifespan than air-source systems.
Benefits of Professional Heat Pump Installation
Professional installation of your heat pump is critical for ensuring it operates efficiently and lasts for many years. Here are some of the key benefits of choosing Legacy for your heat pump installation:
Increased Efficiency and Performance
A professionally installed heat pump operates more efficiently, which means lower energy bills and better overall performance. Our technicians ensure that your system is installed correctly, minimizing the risk of issues that could compromise efficiency, such as refrigerant leaks or improper airflow.
Long-Term Cost Savings
While heat pumps are already known for their energy efficiency, professional installation maximizes those savings. A poorly installed system may require more frequent repairs and consume more energy to maintain a comfortable temperature. With expert installation, you’ll enjoy reliable performance and long-term cost savings.
Warranty Protection
Most heat pump manufacturers offer warranties on their products, but those warranties often require professional installation. By choosing Legacy, you protect your investment and ensure that any future repairs or replacements are covered by your warranty.
Safety and Compliance
Installing a heat pump involves working with electrical systems, refrigerant, and other complex components. Our certified technicians are trained to handle these installations safely and in compliance with all local building codes. This ensures your system operates safely and avoids potential hazards.

Frequently Asked Question
The ideal time to schedule a heat pump installation is during the spring or fall, when heating and cooling demands are lower. This ensures that your system is ready for the peak heating or cooling seasons, and you’ll have more flexibility with scheduling. However, heat pump installation can be done year-round, and our team can work with you to find the most convenient time.
A standard heat pump installation typically takes 1 to 3 days, depending on the complexity of the job and the type of system being installed. If ductwork is needed or additional customizations are required, the process may take longer. During your consultation, our technicians will provide an estimated timeline based on your specific needs.
When choosing a heat pump, key factors include the size of your home, energy efficiency ratings (such as SEER and HSPF), your climate, and whether you need a ducted or ductless system. Our technicians will help assess your home’s unique needs and recommend the best heat pump system to ensure optimal comfort and efficiency year-round.
Yes, installing a heat pump can significantly reduce your energy bills, especially if you’re replacing an older, less efficient HVAC system. Heat pumps transfer heat rather than generate it, making them more energy-efficient than traditional heating systems. This can lead to savings of up to 30% on heating and cooling costs, depending on the system and local climate.
Not necessarily. If your existing ductwork is in good condition and properly sized for your home, it can often be used with a new heat pump system. However, if the ductwork is damaged, leaky, or improperly sized, it may need to be replaced or repaired to ensure efficient heating and cooling. Ductless systems are also an option for homes without existing ducts.
With proper maintenance, a heat pump can last 15 to 20 years. Regular tune-ups, such as cleaning coils, replacing filters, and checking refrigerant levels, will help extend the lifespan of your heat pump and ensure it operates efficiently throughout its life. Our team also offers maintenance plans to keep your system in top shape.
