A heat pump is about as well suited to Central Florida as any piece of equipment gets. It handles the long cooling season that defines life in Lakeland, then reverses itself for the short stretch of cool nights in January without needing a separate furnace. Egberts Electrical Plumbing Air Conditioning installs heat pumps sized to your home, your ductwork, and your electrical service. We take the time to take measurements first so the system you end up with runs efficiently for years, instead of fighting your house.

What Your Neighbors Are Saying About Us
Is a Heat Pump Right for Your Home?
For most Polk County homes, the answer is yes. Heat pumps move heat rather than generate it, which makes them efficient in a climate where demand is overwhelmingly for cooling, and the winter load is mild. Our temperatures rarely drop low enough to push a heat pump outside its comfortable operating range.
The homes where it makes the most sense are those running an aging straight cool system with electric strip heat, or any home where the current equipment is over a decade old. Replacing both halves of a matched heat pump system at once usually improves comfort and lowers monthly costs more than replacing either piece alone.
A few situations call for a closer look. Homes with existing gas service may do better with a dual-fuel setup, and properties with undersized ductwork or an older electrical panel need those issues addressed as part of the project. We evaluate it all during the estimate and tell you plainly what the home actually needs.
Our Heat Pump Installation Process
The process opens with an in-home assessment. We calculate your heating and cooling load using square footage, insulation, window exposure, ceiling height, and ductwork condition, then inspect the electrical supply and disconnect. You get a written proposal with two or three equipment options and clear pricing on each.
Installation day begins with protecting your floors and work areas. The old system comes out, the new outdoor unit is set on a level pad, and the indoor air handler is mounted and connected. Refrigerant lines are run and brazed, the system is pulled into a deep vacuum, duct connections are sealed, and the condensate drain is routed properly for the amount of moisture a Florida system pulls out of the air.
Electrical work is handled by our own licensed team, including disconnects, whips, and any breaker changes required by the new equipment. Once everything is connected, we charge the system to the manufacturer’s specifications, configure the thermostat, and run full cooling and heating cycles. We check airflow, temperature split, and refrigerant pressures before showing you how to operate the system and what the warranty covers.
Heat Pump Options and Efficiency Ratings
Heat pump efficiency is measured in SEER2 for cooling and HSPF2 for heating, and higher numbers mean less energy is used to achieve the same comfort. Because Lakeland homes run cooling for most of the year, the SEER2 rating carries more weight in your monthly bill than the heating number does.
Single-stage units are the budget-friendly choice and work well for smaller homes with straightforward layouts. Two-stage systems run at a lower setting most of the time, which keeps temperatures steadier and removes more humidity from the air, something that matters a great deal in this climate. Variable-speed systems take that further with the quietest operation, the most consistent temperatures, and the best humidity control among the three.
Ductless mini split heat pumps are worth considering for additions, converted garages, Florida rooms, and older homes where running ductwork is impractical. We carry quality equipment at several price points and will tell you honestly where spending more pays off in your specific home and where it does not.
FAQs About Heat Pump System Repair
How long does a heat pump installation take?
Most standard replacements are completed in one day. Projects involving duct modifications, a new pad location, or an electrical panel upgrade may extend into a second day.
Will a heat pump keep my home warm during a Florida cold snap?
Yes. Heat pumps handle Central Florida winter temperatures comfortably, and supplemental heat strips cover the rare night when temperatures drop near freezing.
What size heat pump does my home need?
That comes from a load calculation, not a rule of thumb. We measure your home and inspect the ductwork rather than matching the size of your existing unit.
How long should a new heat pump last here?
Twelve to fifteen years is typical in Florida with annual maintenance. Coastal salt air and skipped tune-ups shorten that considerably.
Do you offer emergency service after installation?
Yes. Egberts Electrical Plumbing Air Conditioning answers emergency calls 24 hours a day, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
