At your Chamblee property, our technician performs a room-by-room heat load calculation accounting for square footage, insulation R-values, window area, orientation, and local design temperatures. The result determines the exact tonnage and HSPF rating your home requires.
Based on the load calculation, we recommend heat pump models from top manufacturers that match your capacity requirements and efficiency goals. You receive a written proposal with equipment specs, SEER2 and HSPF2 ratings, estimated annual energy costs, and a fixed installation price.
KIC Refrigeration installs your new heat pump in Chamblee, GA to manufacturer and code requirements. We flow nitrogen during all brazing to prevent internal oxidation, pressure test to 300 PSI with dry nitrogen, evacuate to below 500 microns, weigh in the factory refrigerant charge, and verify all electrical connections with a torque screwdriver.
Our Chamblee technician commissions your new heat pump by verifying superheat, subcooling, static pressure, and temperature split in both modes. We program your thermostat schedule, register the manufacturer warranty, and demonstrate how to operate the system and change filters.

New installations that require ductwork modifications, electrical panel upgrades, new concrete pads, or multiple zone setups may take 2 to 3 days.

Yes. A heat pump provides both heating and cooling from a single outdoor unit by reversing the refrigerant cycle between seasons. Modern cold-climate heat pumps with variable-speed inverter compressors operate efficiently down to 0 to minus 15 degrees Fahrenheit. In extremely cold GA climates, a dual-fuel configuration pairs the heat pump with a gas furnace that engages as backup only below the economic balance point — the temperature where gas heating costs less per BTU than electric heat pump operation. This gives you heat pump efficiency for 80 to 90 percent of the season with gas backup for the coldest days. KIC Refrigeration designs the right configuration for your Chamblee climate zone and heating needs.
