Heat Pump Installation in Salt Lake City & the Wasatch Front
Heat Pump Install in Utah
Heat Pump Installation — Efficient Cooling & Heating for Salt Lake City Homes
Home Performance Pros installs heat pumps in Salt Lake City and across the Wasatch Front — one system that cools all summer and heats efficiently through Utah's shoulder seasons. A heat pump is essentially an air conditioner that can run in reverse: it moves heat out of your home in summer and pulls heat in during the milder months, all from a single outdoor unit. For summer cooling, modern heat pumps meet the same SEER2 efficiency standards as traditional central AC — so you get the same powerful cooling performance with the added benefit of efficient heating in spring and fall. Many Wasatch Front homeowners see their year-round energy bills shrink compared to running a separate AC and gas furnace, especially during the long shoulder seasons Utah offers. Not sure if a heat pump is the right call? We lay out the honest numbers before recommending anything. See also our central AC installation page for a straight cooling-only comparison.
Because Utah nights can drop well below freezing, we typically design a dual-fuel or backup-heat setup: the heat pump handles the majority of the year efficiently, and your existing furnace or electric backup strips take over on the coldest stretches. Rocky Mountain Power's Wattsmart program offers rebates on qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps for eligible Utah customers — we'll help identify what's available when we quote. We size the system with a load calculation, install it clean and code-compliant, set the changeover point correctly, and back the work with a guarantee. Heat pumps also need a compatible thermostat to manage the changeover between modes — see our smart thermostat page for details on proper controls. Locally owned, every major brand, flat-rate pricing upfront. Call (385) 503-7767 to see if a heat pump fits your home.

You want a single, efficient system instead of separate cooling and heating equipment
You're interested in Rocky Mountain Power Wattsmart rebates or other efficiency incentives for heat pumps
You're adding cooling to an all-electric home or one without natural gas service
You want lower-carbon, electric-driven comfort without sacrificing summer cooling
What it costs
What Affects the Cost of a Heat Pump Installation
Heat pump pricing depends on the system you choose and how it integrates with your existing equipment. Here's what moves the number.
System size and capacity
Tonnage is set by a load calculation on your home — getting it right matters even more on a heat pump, since it works year-round for both cooling and heating.
Efficiency rating (SEER2 / HSPF2)
Higher SEER2 (cooling) and HSPF2 (heating) ratings cost more upfront but deliver bigger savings across both seasons. Heat pumps must meet at least 14.3 SEER2 and 7.5 HSPF2 under current standards — higher-tier models qualify for Wattsmart rebates.
Backup heat configuration
A dual-fuel setup that pairs the heat pump with your existing gas furnace differs in cost from adding electric backup heat strips. For most Utah homes, dual-fuel is the more practical and cost-effective choice given our cold winters.
Electrical and controls
Heat pumps may require electrical service updates and a heat-pump-compatible thermostat to manage the changeover between heat pump mode and backup heat correctly.
Ductwork and access
The condition of your existing ducts and the placement of the outdoor unit both affect labor and total cost.
Every home is different. Home Performance Pros gives upfront, flat-rate pricing before any work begins — call (385) 503-7767 for a free estimate.

Still wondering about something? Talk to a real Utah tech — no call centers, no pressure.
(385) 503-7767On its own, a standard heat pump loses efficiency as temperatures drop near and below freezing. That's why we design most Utah installs as dual-fuel or with backup heat — the heat pump handles the efficient majority of the season, and your furnace or electric backup takes over on the coldest nights.
