Heat Pump installation in River Falls
Heat pumps can be a great alternative to traditional air conditioners. Like an AC, they can be paired with a forced-air furnace or air handler. Heat pumps look a lot like traditional air conditioning units but they work a bit differently.
Like a traditional air conditioner, they use the refrigeration cycle to provide cool air in your home. However, these units can use the refrigeration cycle to provide heat as well. To simplify it, they basically run in reverse. The refrigeration cycle allows the heat pump or AC to absorb heat and move it from one area to another. On cooling mode, the unit absorbs the heat from inside your home and releases it outside. On heating mode, it finds heat in the ambient outdoor air and moves it inside to heat your home. While that might not seem like something that can work in our harsh, Wisconsin winters, heat pumps use technology that allow them to work in subzero temperatures.
On heating mode, heat pumps are more efficient than electric and gas-fired furnaces. This is because they don’t have to “create” heat but rather move it from one area to another. Many people who use heat pumps chose them for this reason. Higher energy efficiency means lower operating costs.
Important note for heat pump installations: if you plan to rely on your heat pump for home heating, you must choose a unit that is rated for low temperatures. There are many varieties of heat pumps. The ones that work great in Florida do not work well here. We can use heat pumps efficiently in Wisconsin but you have to have the right one!
Ductless AC installation in River Falls
Ductless mini splits are gaining popularity in the US and it’s no surprise why. These are the most eco-friendly AC options on the market. Mini splits are a type of heat pump so they can provide both heating and cooling on a single system. They have the same benefits of heat pump efficiency but are also integrated with their own smart technology that automatically adjusts the output of the compressor to use the least amount of energy possible to maintain the indoor temperature setting.
Ductless mini splits use wall or ceiling-mounted air handlers to distribute warm and cool air into your rooms. Typically, one air handler is needed per room. In open spaces (like living rooms, dining rooms and kitchens) only one air handler may be used for the combined area. Luckily, one outdoor unit can connect to multiple indoor air handlers. However, if you are needing to heat and cool a large home, you may still need two outdoor condensers.
Ductless mini splits excel at strict temperature control of small spaces and single rooms. This makes them perfect for zoning applications or supplemental HVAC solutions.
Because they do not utilize ductwork, they can be installed in homes with boiler heat (no ductwork system) and areas where it would be difficult or impractical to add to existing ductwork. We often install them in home offices, guest suites, master bedrooms, attic spaces, basements and garage workshops.
Average AC lifespan
Central AC units, heat pumps and ductless mini splits all last between 15 and 20 years if they are well maintained. All of these systems have filters that either need to be replaced regularly or cleaned. That is one of the best things you can do for your AC system to keep it running as long as possible.
How Hurlburt can help you choose the perfect AC system
There’s more to choosing an AC system than simply calculating the square footage of your home. That’s part of it, but the team at Hurlburt knows that each home is unique. We will come out and do a walk through and look at your home’s layout, the number of windows you have, the ceiling height and talk with you about your cooling needs.
We will discuss the pros and cons of each design and let you make the final decision. We are here to provide expert guidance but you have the final say in your choice of AC system. Whatever AC system you decide to go with, we will ensure it is sized and installed correctly to meet your cooling needs.

Trent L.
Responded to no cooling complaint on recently installed two-stage AC system. Upon inspection, discovered unit was only operating in first stage due to Y1/Y2 jumper being cut on furnace control board during installation. System was configured with single-stage zone control panel incompatible with two-stage thermostat control. Restored proper operation by jumpering Y1 and Y2 terminals on control board to enable both stages of cooling. Verified system performance with 22° temperature split across evaporator coil and adjusted board settings for optimal operation.

Trent L.
Responded to no-cooling complaint on 2005 Bryant PLUS 90 system with evaporator coil freeze-up. Upon arrival, found outdoor condenser coils clean and evaporator coil free of debris with clear condensate drain. Connected manifold gauges and observed refrigerant charge slightly below optimal range for R-22 system but within marginal operating parameters. Customer had recently installed MERV 11 air filter, which was determined to be excessively restrictive for this system's blower capacity, resulting in reduced airflow across evaporator coil and subsequent ice formation. After filter had been in place approximately 24 hours, coil began normal condensation cycle and ice buildup ceased. Verified airflow restoration and monitored system operation until cooling function returned to normal. Advised customer that R-22 refrigerant is no longer serviced and system replacement should be considered due to age and refrigerant phase-out, though current operation is functional for continued use.

Responded to a no cooling call on a twelve-year-old air conditioning system. Upon inspection, found clogged air filters at the indoor unit. Examined the outdoor condenser and discovered severe coil damage caused by animal urine, heavy pollen accumulation, and missing fin sections. System testing revealed complete refrigerant loss with an audible leak detected at the damaged coil area. Due to the extent of condenser coil damage and system age, scheduled a comfort advisor to discuss replacement options with the homeowner.
