The time may come when you’re faced with the decision to repair or replace your heating system. Before you do, you should take the following into account:
- If your system is several years old or requires frequent repairs, it may be more cost-effective to replace it. Our technicians can be trusted to diagnose problems and determine if a full replacement is the best solution for you.

Heat Pumps
Heat pumps are an energy-saving and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional heating and air conditioning. Heat pumps work by funneling air in and out of your home, which makes them a great all-in-one solution for year-round heating and cooling.
While heat pumps have higher initial costs than a traditional HVAC system, a key benefit is that they move heat around, rather than generating it, which means you’ll save money in the long run by spending less on your monthly heating and cooling bills.
A proper heat pump installation requires special tools and experience. At Blue Flame, our technicians have the training and the expertise to install your heat pump system with ease.
Types of heat pumps:
- Absorption heat pumps: Pumps that use natural gas, propane, or hot water to reach and maintain the temperature of your home.
- Air-source heat pumps: Pumps that provide 1.5-3 times more heat energy compared to the electricity they consume.
- Ground-source heat pumps: Pumps that transfer warm air back and forth from the ground to effectively heat your home.
Ductless Heat Pumps
Ductless heat pumps are one of the many environmentally friendly products we offer our customers. Ductless heat pumps are made up of two components, a compressor or condenser and an indoor air-handing unit, and don’t require ductwork. Compared to traditional heating options, ductless heat pumps have the following advantages:
- Simpler and less extensive installation process
- Greater energy efficiency than ductwork
- Greater heating and cooling flexibility per area/room
Ductless heat pumps are ideal for new construction homes and homes with electric heat, as well as homes that have undergone renovation.
