At Premier Heating and Air we are committed to providing excellent service at an affordable price. Owners Mike and Steve are family men and pet lovers. You can certainly feel comfortable having them in your home or business. They have over 20 years of combined experience in the HVAC industry.

When installing new systems they work directly with the customer to come up with a design plan that will work efficiently and look neat. At Premier we install many different brand names that are sure to cut your energy bill and keep you comfortable year-round. Mike and Steve met while working at an HVAC company. They worked together for about 6 years and had become great friends in that time. They decided to open their own HVAC company together. The main reason was so they would have something to pass down to their children. It was not an easy decision, especially considering everything they had to lose. They took the leap and couldn’t be happier with the support from their family, friends and community.

Heat pumps rely on evaporation and condensation processes. The unit transfers heat through the system via a compressed refrigerant. The compressor within the pump circulates the refrigerant through two coils. The first coil evaporates the refrigerant and absorbs warmth from the air. The refrigerant then passes to the second coil, where it condenses, and the unit releases the absorbed heat.
A well-installed and well-maintained heat pump lasts an average of 12 to 20 years. Routine filter changes, annual tune‑ups, and prompt repairs help the equipment reach the upper end of that range, while skipped maintenance or poor installation can shorten its life and raise long‑term costs. Ask your heat pump installation pro for maintenance recommendations so you can get the maximum benefit from your unit.
Heat pumps are most effective in regions where winter lows remain above approximately 40°F. Efficiency starts to drop below that point and falls off sharply near 25°F. If you live in a colder area, look for a model with a high Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF) and plan on supplemental heat during deep freezes to keep energy use in check.
The biggest drawbacks are the upfront cost and poor cold-weather performance. Installation can require electrical upgrades or duct changes, and once temperatures fall well below freezing, the unit may need help from a furnace or electric resistance coils. Factor in those add‑ons, along with routine maintenance, when you weigh the long‑term savings against the initial investment.
