Heat pump work in Shoreview homes
Shoreview's housing is old and uniform: most homes were built before 1990. In that stock, a heat pump usually replaces an air conditioner that is on its second or third round, and often an R-22 system that a leak has made a poor repair. A cold-climate unit takes over for the milder months, and the gas furnace stays for the coldest.
Townhomes and condominiums make up a good share of the housing across many associations, and these are their own project. Outdoor equipment may be subject to the association's rules, pad space is limited, and neighbors' units are close. We check the rules and plan the placement before we price it.

What affects the price of a heat pump in Shoreview?
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. Most houses are pre-1990 and often have an aging R-22 air conditioner, so the heat pump replaces it and Xcel's gas furnace stays for the coldest weather. See the heat pump cost guide.
Are there rebates for a heat pump in Shoreview?
Xcel Energy supplies both utilities in Shoreview, so every rebate question on a furnace, air conditioner or heat pump goes to Xcel. Its Minnesota programs cover high-efficiency gas furnaces, central AC and cold-climate heat pumps. For heat pumps, ask whether Xcel's rebate needs a registered contractor before you sign. Rebate programs change every year, so check the utility's current terms before you buy.

Heat pumps in Shoreview: questions
Can I put a heat pump outside my Shoreview townhome?
That depends on your association. Many have rules on where outdoor equipment goes, how it looks and how loud it can be, and some need written approval first. We plan the pad location, check the clearance from neighbors' windows and tell you what the board may ask for. Get the approval before the install date, not after.
How do I pay for a heat pump project in Shoreview?
We offer financing on installs, though we do not publish rates or terms. The city also points homeowners to a Home Improvement Loan run by NeighborWorks Home Partners, which has income limits, and to the Center for Energy and Environment's lending program for energy work. Ask each lender for its terms, because they change.
