Yes, heat pumps can be installed in older homes, though the installation process may be more complex compared to newer homes. The key is to assess whether your home has sufficient insulation and airtightness to ensure efficient heating and cooling. A professional can evaluate your home’s energy efficiency and make any necessary improvements before installing a heat pump system.

Air-source heat pumps extract heat from the outside air to heat your home, while ground-source heat pumps, also known as geothermal systems, extract heat from the ground. Ground-source pumps are more efficient in colder climates but have higher installation costs due to the need for underground piping. Air-source heat pumps are more affordable and easier to install but may be less efficient in extreme cold.

Yes, hydronic systems can be adapted for cooling, though the cooling capacity is generally lower compared to forced air systems. Hydronic cooling systems use chilled water to circulate through the pipes, absorbing heat from the space and cooling the environment. However, these systems are more commonly used for heating due to their efficiency in distributing warmth.
