Heat Pump Installation in Waltham, MA
Waltham Heat Pump Installation Experts
Waltham, MA, homeowners looking for an eco-friendly alternative to fossil-fuel HVAC systems may want to consider a heat pump. Heat pumps are dual systems that provide both heating and cooling. Endless Energy specializes in heat pump installation in Waltham, providing homeowners with energy-efficiency solutions and offering MassSave® rebates to help offset the cost of a new heat pump.
What is a Heat Pump?
Heat pumps are extremely efficient HVAC systems that transfer heat using air or geothermal energy rather than generating it. During the summer months, heat pumps move heat from your house to the outdoors, and during the winter, they move heat from the cool outdoors into your house. Heat pumps are ideal for maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature, no matter the weather.
Why Choose a Heat Pump in Waltham, MA?
Endless Energy is an Authorized Mass Save® Contractor Partner in Waltham
A heat pump installation offers several advantages over standard HVAC systems, making it an increasingly popular choice for home heating and cooling in Waltham. Benefits include:
- Energy efficiency and savings: Heat pumps move heat rather than generate it, resulting in significantly lower energy bills than traditional furnaces or electric resistance heating.
- Dual systems: Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling, so you no longer need two separate systems, like a furnace and AC. This streamlines your comfort and maintenance costs.
- Eco-friendly: Heat pumps use electricity rather than burning fossil fuels and produce zero direct emissions. As your city’s electrical grid incorporates more renewable energy, heat pumps become even cleaner.
- Long lifespans: Heat pumps last 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance.
- Rebates: Endless Energy offers rebates specific to heat pump upgrades to help offset the upfront cost of installation.
- Versatile in any climate: Modern cold-climate heat pumps can operate efficiently even when Massachusetts temperatures drop below freezing.

Types of Heat Pumps We Install in Waltham, MA
Heat pumps can come ducted or ductless. Ducted heat pumps, also called central heat pumps, work through existing ductwork, distributing the heat and cool air throughout vents in your home. Ductless mini split heat pumps have an outdoor compressor/condenser and an indoor air-handling unit and offer specific zoned temperature control.
Cold-climate heat pumps are specifically engineered to provide reliable heating down to -15°F. This type of heat pump is a great solution for Waltham’s cold winters and humid summers.
How Much Does It Cost To Install a New Heat Pump in Waltham?
In Waltham, homeowners can expect to pay anywhere from $5,000 to $24,000 or more for a heat pump installation cost.
A few factors may change the price:
- Ducted vs. ductless: Installing a ducted heat pump typically costs between $14,000 and $24,000 when replacing an existing system. Ductless models run $6,000 to $14,000 per zone. The price depends on system size and the difficulty of the install. Adding more zones costs more upfront, but you can control the temperature in each room separately.
- Brand and quality: Well-known brands such as Mitsubishi, LG, and Bryant are reputable for producing reliable, energy-efficient heat pumps. While these brands may be more expensive initially, they often offer better warranties and longer lifespans.
- Design and size of your home: The design and size of your home will play a huge role in determining the type and size of the heat pump you need. Larger homes or homes with multiple stories will require more zones and a more powerful system to heat or cool the space effectively.
- Installation complexity: Installation complexity affects the price. If you need new ductwork, modifications to your existing ducts, or if the installer has trouble accessing certain parts of your home and needs to drill a hole in the wall, expect to pay more.
- Energy efficiency: More efficient systems — those with higher SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) and HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) ratings — use less energy and lower your utility bills over time. They cost more upfront, but the long-term savings will offset that initial investment.

Signs You Need a New Heat Pump vs. Heat Pump Repair
Endless Energy specialists can help you decide between a heat pump repair and a full replacement. Heat pump repairs usually make sense if:
Repair may be the better option if:
- Your system is less than 10 years old.
- Only a single part has failed, like the fan motor.
- Regular maintenance has been performed in the last year.
- Repair costs are less than 50% of the replacement value.
A full heat pump replacement might make more sense if:
- Your existing heat pump is 15 years old or older.
- Frequent breakdowns require multiple annual repairs.
- Your energy bills keep rising, despite no change in normal usage patterns.
- The existing system uses R-22 refrigerant, which is being phased out.
- A major component, like the compressor, has failed.
