From initial contact to final verification — here is how we handle heat pump installation.
At your Clarkston 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 Clarkston, 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 Clarkston 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.

Heat pump installation in Clarkston typically costs $5,000 to $12,000 for a standard split system including the outdoor condenser, indoor air handler or coil, new thermostat, refrigerant lineset, and all labor. High-efficiency variable-speed systems from Carrier, Trane, or Daikin with SEER2 ratings of 18 to 22 range from $10,000 to $18,000 installed. Ductless mini-split systems run $3,000 to $8,000 depending on the number of indoor zones. The total price depends on home size, system tonnage, efficiency tier, ductwork condition, and whether electrical upgrades are needed. KIC Refrigeration provides detailed proposals for Clarkston homeowners with all costs itemized and no hidden fees.
A single-stage heat pump has a compressor that runs at 100 percent capacity or shuts off completely. It cycles on and off throughout the day, causing 2 to 4 degree temperature swings, higher humidity levels, and more wear on components. A variable-speed inverter compressor modulates continuously from 25 to 100 percent capacity to match the exact heating or cooling load at any moment. The result is tighter temperature control within 0.5 degrees, 30 to 40 percent lower energy consumption, significantly quieter operation at 55 to 65 decibels versus 72 to 78 for single-stage, and better humidity control in cooling mode. KIC Refrigeration explains the trade-offs and helps Clarkston homeowners choose the right technology for their comfort expectations and budget.
Many Clarkston homeowners qualify for substantial rebates and tax credits on heat pump installation. The federal energy-efficient home improvement credit covers up to $2,000 per year for qualifying heat pumps with SEER2 ratings above 16. State and utility rebates in GA may add $500 to $3,000 depending on the program and efficiency level. The Inflation Reduction Act provides additional point-of-sale rebates of up to $8,000 for qualifying heat pumps for income-eligible households. KIC Refrigeration tracks all available federal, state, and utility incentive programs in GA and helps Clarkston homeowners identify and apply for every rebate they qualify for during the proposal process.
A properly installed and maintained heat pump in Clarkston typically lasts 12 to 18 years before requiring replacement. Variable-speed systems with inverter compressors often last on the higher end of that range because they run at lower speeds most of the time, reducing mechanical stress and component wear. The single biggest factor in heat pump longevity is proper installation — correct refrigerant charge, proper airflow, and tight electrical connections — followed by annual professional maintenance. KIC Refrigeration offers annual maintenance plans for Clarkston customers that include coil cleaning, refrigerant pressure verification, electrical connection tightening, and capacitor testing to maximize your equipment lifespan.
