Heat pump work in Mendota Heights homes

About 43 percent of Mendota Heights housing predates 1970, when central air was often added later through heating-sized ducts, so duct capacity gets checked before a heat pump is sized. Xcel Energy supplies both fuels, so dual fuel is a one-utility decision: the heat pump takes the spring, fall and mild winter hours, and the furnace covers the coldest days.

The lot decides where the outdoor unit goes. Wooded lots drop seeds into the coil, and bluff-side and walkout lots slope, so the unit needs a raised, level stand with room for defrost meltwater to drain. Ask Xcel whether its heat pump rebate needs a registered contractor before you sign.

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. Wooded lots make the outdoor unit's location, airflow and debris-cleaning access part of the quote for a 1980s or 90s home. See the heat pump cost guide.

Heat pumps in Mendota Heights: questions

My Mendota Heights house is on a wooded lot. How do snow and defrost water affect where the heat pump goes?

A heat pump runs all winter and sheds meltwater during defrost, so the unit sits on a stand a few feet off the ground with drainage that will not freeze into ice on a walk or step, and clear of roof edges where snow and ice fall. We walk the lot, pick the spot, and the written quote covers the stand and line set.

Should a Mendota Heights heat pump go in with a new furnace or ahead of a sound one?

Either works. If the furnace is near the end of its life, replacing both together lets us match the coil and set up dual fuel once. If it is sound, the heat pump can go in ahead of it and the furnace stays as backup. We look at the furnace's age and condition and price both ways.
