Heat Pump Installation, Repair, and Maintenance Services

Not all HVAC equipment is the same. While most Meridian homes have a traditional AC and heating system with a combination of inside and outside units and ducts in the attic, other homeowners choose to go a different route.

A heat pump is one of the most efficient and versatile comfort systems available today—providing both heating and cooling from a single unit. Instead of generating heat like a traditional furnace, a heat pump transfers heat between the indoors and outdoors, keeping your home comfortable year-round while using significantly less energy. The result? Lower utility bills, a smaller carbon footprint, and consistent comfort through every season.

Whether you’re upgrading to a new energy-efficient system or need expert service on your existing heat pump, we’ve got you covered. From precision installations to fast, dependable repairs, you can count on Heblon Heating & Cooling to deliver lasting comfort and performance you can trust.

What’s A Heat Pump?

Despite its name, it’s important to know a heat pump is a great option to keep your home warm in the winter AND cool in the summer. Heat pumps work differently than traditional HVAC systems.

A traditional electric furnace generates heat and then sends it to each room through the ductwork. Heat pumps, on the other hand, operate on the principle of moving heat from one place to another.

In the winter, for example, your heat pump extracts warm air from one of three places — the outside air, ground or a water source — and then moves that warm air inside to keep your family comfortable. Despite having three options to find warm air, most heat pumps depend on outside air for their heat source. It’s easily available compared to a geothermal source or water source.

During the warm, summer months, a heat pump works in the exact opposite way to keep your home cool. It removes the warm air from indoors and transfers it outside.

Heat Pump Benefits

The key advantage of a Meridian heat pump replacement is efficiency. While you can expect your heat pump to keep your house just as warm and cool as a traditional HVAC system, heat pumps cost upwards of 50%-75% less to use.

While you imagine those savings on your energy bill, you might be wondering how that’s possible. Remember, traditional HVAC systems need energy to generate warm and cool air that’s delivered to the rooms in your house. Heat pumps are simply moving warm air around.

In addition to the cost and energy savings, heat pumps are also typically more efficient than traditional HVAC equipment when it comes to dehumidifying your home. That comes in especially handy here in Mississippi, where the summer humidity can be brutal.

Heat Pump FAQs

How does a heat pump work?

A heat pump moves heat rather than generating it. In the winter, it extracts heat from the outdoor air and transfers it indoors to warm your home. During the summer, the process reverses—removing heat from inside and releasing it outdoors to keep you cool. This efficient technology provides year-round comfort using less energy than traditional heating and cooling systems.

Can a heat pump heat my home in winter?

Yes, modern heat pumps are designed to perform efficiently even in colder climates. Many systems include advanced technology that allows them to pull heat from the air even when temperatures drop below freezing. For extremely cold regions, a dual-fuel or hybrid system can combine a heat pump with a gas furnace for maximum efficiency and comfort.

How long do heat pumps last?

With proper installation and regular maintenance, most heat pumps last 12 to 15 years or more. Factors such as system quality, usage patterns, and climate can influence lifespan. Routine tune-ups from Heblon Heating & Cooling can help extend your system’s life and maintain peak performance year after year.

Do I need both a furnace and a heat pump?

Not necessarily. Many homeowners use a heat pump as a standalone system for both heating and cooling. However, in areas with very cold winters, a dual-fuel setup—pairing a heat pump with a furnace—can be the most efficient option. Our technicians can evaluate your home and climate to recommend the best configuration for your comfort and energy needs.

How often should I schedule maintenance?

To keep your heat pump running efficiently, it’s best to schedule professional maintenance twice a year—once before the heating season and once before cooling season. Regular maintenance helps prevent breakdowns, improves energy efficiency, and ensures your system delivers reliable comfort all year long.
