Heat Pump Installation in Kentucky: what's different
Heat Pump Installation across Kentucky depends on the climate (IECC climate zones 4). Heat pumps are common in mixed climates and run year-round. Many homes pair them with a gas furnace as a dual-fuel system for the coldest days.
In Kentucky specifically: winter cold snaps. Heat pumps lean on backup heat during deep cold, so backup strips and outdoor thermostats should be checked.
Kentucky licenses HVAC contractors and journeymen through the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction. Ask any contractor for their license number before work starts, and expect a written price for heat Pump Installation.
LG&E and Kentucky Utilities serve much of the state, with Duke Energy Kentucky, Kentucky Power and cooperatives elsewhere. LG&E, Columbia Gas and others supply natural gas.
