  3. 3

    Start-up and inspection

Why a heat pump

Why Most Tampa Homes Use a Heat Pump

A heat pump is an air conditioner that can also run in reverse to heat the house.

One system, two jobs

It cools all summer like a regular AC, then moves heat into the house on cool nights. No gas line needed.

Backup heat for cold snaps

On the few cold nights we get, heat strips in the air handler help the heat pump keep up.

A small price step over AC

A Goodman Value heat pump is $7,698 to $11,490, against $7,141 to $10,132 for the same AC. You get heating for the difference.

Humidity control

A correctly sized system, and even more an inverter, runs longer at low speed and pulls more moisture out of the air.

The upgrade we recommend

Why We Recommend Side-Discharge Inverter Heat Pumps

More of our Tampa customers are choosing an Elite side-discharge inverter: the Goodman GZV6S or the Daikin Fit DH6VS. They cost more up front, so we always price a Value heat pump next to one.

  • Variable speed: the inverter compressor runs slow most of the day, which keeps rooms even and the air drier.
  • Quiet: no loud start and stop like a single-stage unit.
  • Small footprint: the tall, narrow cabinet fits side yards, roof stands and wall brackets.
  • Built for salt air: the Daikin Fit cabinet is 500-hour salt-spray tested with a corrosion-resistant ZAM steel base.

Details from the Daikin DH6VS spec sheet (SS-DH6VS-R32, 07/25): up to 19.0 SEER2 and 8.8 HSPF2, 1.5 to 5 tons.

Questions

Heat Pump Installation Questions

How much does heat pump installation cost in Tampa?

A new heat pump system runs $7,698 to $19,931 installed, from a Goodman Value heat pump to a Daikin Fit Elite inverter. Elite Max systems run $17,356 to $25,668. The price depends on size and tier, and the permit fee is billed separately. The in-home estimate is FREE.

How do I find a good heat pump contractor in Tampa?

Check the state license (ours is air conditioning contractor CAC1819196), ask for a Manual J load calculation, and get every option and the permit in writing. We have done more than 12,000 jobs across Tampa Bay since 2020 and have 1,300+ five-star reviews.

What heat pump brands do you install?

Goodman and Daikin are our preferred brands: Goodman GLZS4B and Daikin DH4SE (Value), GLZS5B and DH5SE (Premium), Goodman GZV6S and Daikin Fit DH6VS (Elite), and GZV7S and DH7VS (Elite Max). All use R-32. We install and service all brands.

How long does a heat pump installation take?

Most installs are finished in one day. When the job also includes new ductwork, we send more than one crew so it is still done in one day.

What size heat pump do I need?

It depends on the house: insulation, windows, sun exposure and ductwork all change the answer. We run a Manual J load calculation on every estimate. Our last 13 Tampa heat pumps ran from 1 to 5 tons.

Is a heat pump worth it in Tampa?

For most homes, yes. A heat pump cools like a regular AC and also heats on cool nights, and a Goodman Value heat pump costs only a little more than the same AC.

Do heat pumps work when it gets cold?

Yes. On the rare cold nights in Tampa, heat strips in the air handler add backup heat while the heat pump keeps running.

Do I need a permit for a heat pump installation?

Yes. A new heat pump needs a Hillsborough County mechanical permit and an inspection. We pull the permit and meet the inspector, and the permit fee is billed separately.

Are there rebates for heat pumps?

TECO and Duke Energy run rebate programs on higher-efficiency systems, and the amount depends on the utility and its current program. The federal energy tax credit ended for installs after December 31, 2025.
