Heat Pump Replacement and Installation in Raleigh

Sep 28, 2015

Only a few weeks into the warm weather in Raleigh NC, one thing is clear, heat pump installations are popular this year. We’ve had more customers call asking us with interest in a new heat pump than anything else. It’s easy to understand why, with the advances in technology that have dramatically expanded the capabilities of air-to-air heat pumps.

What makes heat pumps attractive to homeowners in Raleigh NC?

Unlike many traditional areas in the U.S. forced air heating and cooling systems that require both and air conditioner and gas furnace system, heat pumps paired with a fan coil, supply both the heating and cooling elements required with the wild Indy temperature swings. Heat pumps use a minimal energy to relocate heat from one location to another. They are usually used to pull heat from the air / ground to heat up a space, or can used in reverse to provide cool air.

In the past heat pumps were believed to be exclusively for more southern states. And, based upon their performance, it made sense that opinion was held. Especially here in Raleigh NC where the number of heating days far outnumber the number of cooling days, heat pumps of the past had trouble keeping homes warm much below 30-35 degrees which required the use of emergency heat. Thankfully for homeowners manufacturers have continued to refine the technology, dramatically improving heat pump performance.

Now, many heat pumps can save 3, 4, 5 times the amount of energy needed to keep your home comfortable — and only for a small amount more in cost.

Gary R Jeff designed a great Mitsubishi Mini Split for my new Music Room. Julio and Marlon did a great job on the initial pre-plumb, and Julio and Jake returned to finish the install. I did have one minor glitch, and Jeff sent Barry out to take care of that. Great equipme...
Lisa G Have had nothing but positive experience working with R&S. Brittany is the front end of the company and does a great job representing company. friendly, pleasant and helpful. Provides accurate information and follows up as she says.
Sean H. I had R and S come out to my house for the second time in the last couple of years to fix an issue with our heating system, and they were able to show up quickly and promptly and fix the issue the same day. The folks I have dealt with at R and S have all been very friendly and helpful in explaining the two issues with our heater thus far. We've had very good experiences and would definitely recommend to other homeowners.
Mancy M. I would recommend R & S Mechanical at any time for those who are looking for professionalism and ability to make a major job look like it's a minor one. I contacted R & S as one of 5 suppliers and service companies to install a new unit in my house. Even though price was a factor, but I was also looking to work with an organization that would be honest and caring. I did find such values with R & S. They were the only one out of the five who actually called to follow up on their offer and ensure that everything was well explained and clear. Absolutely great guys and they made sure to keep the place clean after they left. I definitely made the right choice.
Jennifer R. I have dealt with R&S since I moved to Raleigh four years ago and they have taken consistently good care of my HVAC units. They are prompt, professional, courteous and definitely pick up after themselves. They even call me to schedule regular maintenance that comes with my service contract instead of me having to remember. I can get an appointment very quickly if something breaks on me and they always arrive early. I'm overall very satisfied.
Gail S. I have always been pleased with their service. They are quick to respond, even on weekends. I would definitely recommend them.
Carol C. Our overall experience with R&S has been exceptional. We have been homeowners for over 30 years and have never had better service, concern and respect as we have received from R&S. Highly recommend.
Barb and Jerry Our AC system failed on a Friday afternoon at our Daughter's condo. Shortly after our call, Randy and Mike came to our condo, diagnosed the unit and loaned us portable cooling units over the weekend. They installed a new system and got us up and running the following Tuesday. Their prices and service were great! Very responsive, very straight forward, no hard sell unlike the big companies. Highly recommended - excellent service!
