Technician checking refrigerant pressure on a heat pump outdoor unit in Bradenton & Sarasota, FL

The Heat Pump Difference

As mentioned above, heat pumps resemble air conditioners but can also operate as heaters. Heat pumps are refrigerant-based comfort systems that can reverse the direction of refrigerant flow. When the refrigerant direction changes, the indoor and outdoor coils swap jobs: in cooling mode, the indoor coil removes heat from the house and the outdoor coil releases it outside; in heating mode, the outdoor coil pulls heat from outside and releases it indoors.

It's simple to explain—as are the benefits. A heat pump installation takes care of home comfort for all seasons and significantly lowers the cost of keeping a house warm on cool Gulf Coast winter nights. For homes without gas power, an electric furnace is an expensive heating choice because of how much electricity it takes to heat air. A heat pump uses electricity not to generate heat but to move it, which is 4 to 6 times more energy efficient than an electric furnace—meaning lower energy bills year-round.

 I was preparing to leave for a vacation when I noticed my hot water heater leaking. My neighbor recommended your company and placed the phone call. I was able to have my water heater replaced the same day with a very courteous and experienced crew. They left everything very clean even the driveway. I am very pleased and would highly recommend your company.

 When my cat got stuck then went into a hole in the wall behind a water heater, this company was the only one out of four I called that would come out asap to drain and move the water heater. Quinton, the plumber, was quick and efficient and understanding. When hooking it back up the next day, Quinton was again quick and efficient. I would recommend this company.

 If you want the best service with people that don't try to take advantage of your pocketbook, choose Mcdonald Home Services (MHS) -Cooling, plumbing, heating!!! Josh was super nice and knowledgeable. I had other companies wanting to do more than what was necessary to fix my AC issue but MDS was hundreds less in doing only what was needed. If you want an honest company, choose MDS!

 I had an emergency, last minute HVAC work that needed to be done when attempting to sell my property. Jim McDonald & Sons Heating & Cooling Inc. came over the next business day, made sure the work they were completing was the work requested by the home inspection, and they got us back on-track that day. They resolved a stressful situation quickly and easily for us!

 I called Jim McDonald & Sons Heating and Cooling at around 7:30 am today and was greeted buy a cheery voice, even though it was Monday morning. I didn't get your name, but thank you. I explained the issue I was having with my AC unit and she said she would have a tech there between 8:00 and 10:00 am.Micah arrived less than two hours after my call to the office. He went to work right away, starting at the electrical panel to do a reset on my system. Within a couple of minutes he advised there was no communication with the condenser unit outside. He soon found one of the wires running between the air handler and condenser was shorted somewhere between the two units. He was able to use another wire that wasn't being used to bypass the shorted wire. Communication was established and Micah ran both heat and ac functions to test the unit and make sure it was operating correctly.We were up and running less than three hours after I called the office. Micah was courteous and knowledgeable and gave a thorough explanation of what he was doing.Thank all at Jim McDonald & Sons Heating & Cooling Inc. for saving the day!Sincerely,B Franklin

 Jim McDonald&Sons installed a new HVAC system for me in February. Two of the technicians spent the better part of the day installing the air handler in a small area of a closet in my condo.Removal of the old system went flawlessly and the main effort was to install the new system. Regardless,they worked to mount it over the water heater which involved some heavy duty work.By the end of the day the system was in and cold (and hot) functions working perfectly.They have followed up on several occasions to insure my satisfactionGreat job guys!!February, 2024. Maintenance done. On time, Jamie is greatJune 2024 diffuser burned out. Replaced and cool air on again!!

F.A.Qs for Heat Pumps

What Costs Go Into a Heat Pump Replacement?

This is relative to the size of your home, the type of heat pump you're purchasing, and the status of your ductwork. Centralized heat pumps hook up to your existing ductwork to send warm or cool air through your home. However, a ductless heat pump might be a better choice if your ducts are in rough shape or you don't have ducts at all. Ductless systems cost more to install, but the costs even out when you don't have to pay for air duct services.

How Do I Know When to Replace My Heat Pump?

What's the Difference Between an AC and a Heat Pump?

Heat pumps are air conditioners, but air conditioners are not heat pumps. Air conditioners refer to systems that cool the air using evaporating and condensing refrigerant. A heat pump can do anything an air conditioner can do with one huge difference—the flow of refrigerant can go in reverse. That means your heat pump can heat your home as well as cool it, becoming a true year-round comfort system for Florida homes.
