Ares Plumbing & HVAC installs and services heat pumps across the Wasatch Front. A heat pump is an air conditioner that also runs in reverse to heat your home. Modern cold-climate models keep heating in temperatures well below freezing, and in Utah many homeowners pair one with a gas furnace as backup, a setup called dual fuel.

What is different in Utah
Natural gas is relatively inexpensive in Utah, so a heat pump does not always lower heating bills on its own. Dual fuel uses the heat pump in mild weather and the furnace in deep cold, which is usually the best fit along the Wasatch Front. Heat pumps also burn nothing on site, which helps valley air quality.

Frequently asked questions
Do heat pumps work in Utah winters?
Yes. Cold-climate models heat effectively well below freezing, though output drops as it gets colder. That is why most Wasatch Front installs include gas or electric backup for the coldest nights.
Will a heat pump lower my bills?
It depends on your current system and rates. Cooling costs are similar to a new AC. Heating savings versus gas are modest in Utah, and larger if you have solar or currently heat with electric resistance or propane.
Are there rebates for heat pumps?
Utility rebates change from year to year. We check the current Rocky Mountain Power and Enbridge Gas offers when we quote.
