Heat pumps offer an energy-efficient way to heat and cool your home year-round. This makes them an ideal solution for Chicago’s unpredictable mix of freezing winters and humid summers.
At Deljo Heating & Cooling, we provide comprehensive heat pump services throughout Chicago and the surrounding communities. Whether you’re installing a heat pump for the first time, replacing an older system, or dealing with a mid-season breakdown, our experienced team is ready to help.
Heat Pump Installation
Installing a heat pump isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. The system needs to be properly sized, positioned, and installed to ensure it performs efficiently and consistently in Chicago’s unpredictable weather. Our team starts with a consultation to learn about your home layout, insulation, and comfort preferences, and then recommends the right system based on those details.
Homeowners choose Deljo for heat pump installation because it means:
- The system is professionally matched to your home’s needs
- It runs efficiently from the start, helping lower utility bills
- It meets any requirements for rebates or incentive programs
Every heat pump installation in Chicago is completed with careful attention to detail and a commitment to getting it right the first time.
Heat Pump Repair
Even the best systems can run into trouble. If your heat pump stops working, or simply doesn’t feel like it’s working right, you need a team that can diagnose the problem quickly and clearly explain your options.
Some of the most common heat pump problems we see include:
- Cold air blowing in heat mode
- Frozen coils or refrigerant lines
- Systems that run constantly or won’t shut off
- Unusual noises, smells, or weak airflow
These issues can stem from refrigerant leaks, airflow restrictions, electrical faults, or aging parts. If you’ve noticed anything off, don’t hesitate to call us for heat pump repair in Chicago. Our NATE-certified technicians can get your system back on track quickly and without guesswork.
When to Consider a Replacement
If your heat pump is nearing the end of its lifespan or experiencing frequent breakdowns, it may be time to think about a replacement. A new system can offer better comfort, improved energy efficiency, and peace of mind—especially if your current setup is struggling to keep up.
You might benefit from a heat pump replacement if:
- Your system is 10–15 years old
- You’re scheduling repairs more than once a season
- Your energy bills are climbing despite routine maintenance
- The system can’t maintain consistent indoor temperatures
We’ll help you determine whether repair or replacement is the more cost-effective path, and we’ll provide a clear, free estimate so you can move forward with confidence.
Heat Pump Maintenance That Pays Off
Just like any HVAC equipment, heat pumps require regular service to stay efficient and dependable. Preventive maintenance not only helps avoid mid-season breakdowns but also protects your manufacturer’s warranty and supports long-term energy savings.
Our seasonal tune-ups typically include:
- Cleaning indoor and outdoor coils
- Checking refrigerant levels and pressures
- Testing your thermostat and electrical components
- Inspecting and replacing filters as needed
By scheduling maintenance at the start of the heating and cooling seasons, you’ll extend the life of your system and minimize your chances of needing emergency repairs.
Considering a Duct-Free Option?
If your home doesn’t have ductwork, or you’re looking to heat and cool a specific area like a sunroom, garage, or addition, you might want to consider a ductless heat pump. These mini split systems offer room-by-room comfort and energy savings, without the need for major construction.
You can learn more about ductless systems on our dedicated mini split services page.

Heat Pump FAQ
Q: Are heat pumps effective during Chicago winters?
A: Yes, heat pumps are effective during Chicago winters. Modern heat pumps are designed to operate efficiently in colder climates and can provide reliable heating even in sub-freezing temperatures. In some cases, backup electric or gas heat may be integrated into the system for extra support during extreme cold spells.
Q: How long does a heat pump installation take?
A: Most standard heat pump installations take one day to complete, though more complex projects may require a second visit. We’ll give you a clear timeline before we begin.
Q: Are there rebates or incentives available for heat pumps in Illinois?
A: Yes, there are rebates and incentives available for heat pumps in Illinois. Depending on your system and location, you may qualify for federal tax credits, utility rebates, or state-level programs. We’ll help you identify available savings during your consultation.
Q: What’s the difference between a furnace and a heat pump?
A: A furnace creates heat by burning fuel or using electric resistance, while a heat pump moves heat from one place to another. Heat pumps also offer cooling, making them a two-in-one system ideal for homes looking to maximize efficiency.
