At a higher elevation than Asheville, Burnsville and Yancey County residents need heating systems they can count on during harsh mountain winters. Quality Mechanical provides expert furnace and heat pump services to Burnsville homeowners, along with AC installation and repair for comfortable summers.

The Numbers Make a Strong Case

Propane heating typically runs $1,500 to $3,000 or more per winter in fuel costs alone. A modern heat pump produces 2 to 3 units of heat for every unit of electricity it consumes — operating at 200 to 300 percent efficiency versus a propane furnace's 95 percent. For most WNC homeowners who make this switch, heating expenses drop 40 to 60 percent. On top of that, a heat pump provides air conditioning in summer, eliminating the need for separate cooling equipment.

Today's Heat Pumps Are Built for Mountain Winters

The old notion that heat pumps cannot handle cold weather has been outdated for years. Current cold-climate models from Mitsubishi, Daikin, and Carrier sustain full heating output at temperatures well below 20 degrees Fahrenheit and continue running at reduced capacity into single digits and lower. For the rare extreme-cold nights in WNC, a backup heating element or the existing propane furnace operating in dual-fuel mode covers the gap.

What the Conversion Looks Like

Quality Mechanical manages every aspect: removing the propane furnace (or relegating it to backup duty in a dual-fuel configuration), installing the new heat pump system with correct sizing and ductwork connections, adding a smart thermostat configured for heat pump operation, and walking you through the finished system. Most conversions wrap up in one to two days. Federal tax credits of up to $2,000 apply to qualifying heat pump installations, lowering the net cost even further.
