Heat Pump Installation in Eagan, MN
Heat pumps from us cost $7,500–$14,500 installed in Eagan, sized by load calculation and priced in writing. Before quoting, we confirm who delivers your electricity and gas, because Eagan is split between Dakota Electric and Xcel Energy for power, with three gas utilities, and each sets its own rebate rules.
Heat pump work in Eagan homes
Most Eagan homes buy electricity from Dakota Electric Association, which lists a first-time dual-fuel program enrollment worth asking about before you choose equipment. Addresses in northern Eagan are on Xcel Energy instead.
The houses themselves are good candidates. A 1980s or 1990s two-story is often still running an original or early condenser, and when an old R-22 unit fails, a heat pump on the existing furnace makes a dual-fuel system. Gas comes from CenterPoint Energy, Minnesota Energy Resources or Xcel depending on the address, which affects where we set the switchover. Single-zone two-stories need the upstairs airflow sorted too, or the heat pump inherits the same hot bedrooms the AC had.

What affects the price of a heat pump in Eagan?
Our $7,500–$14,500 installed price comes as a written flat-rate quote, with a 2-year labor warranty on top of the manufacturer's parts warranty. The price depends on the house: a townhome closet with little height for the coil, or an association-set pad location, adds work that a two-story basement install does not. See the heat pump cost guide. For what drives a quote locally, see HVAC cost in Eagan.

Heat pumps in Eagan: questions
Our Eagan townhome has its furnace in a utility closet. Can it have a heat pump?
Often, yes. The indoor side is a coil on top of the furnace, which fits in the same closet if there's height for it. The harder questions are outside: where the association allows the outdoor unit, how the line set gets there and whether the unit can sit high enough above drifting snow. Get us the association's rules early, since approval can take longer than the install.
Will a heat pump fix the hot upstairs bedrooms in our Eagan two-story?
Not by itself. The heat pump delivers cooling through the same ducts the old AC used, so if those ducts starve the bedrooms, they still will. A variable-speed heat pump helps some, running long and slow so air keeps moving. The bigger gains come from an upstairs return, a higher cooling blower speed or zoning. We look at the ductwork while quoting the heat pump so both get solved together.
