Heat Pumps
Mike's Heating & A/C Service is experienced in the service, repair, and installation of heat pumps in Picayune, MS, and its surrounding area. A heat pump is a device that transfers heat from one place to another, from indoors to outdoors or from outdoors to indoors. For homes with no access to natural gas, heat pumps offer an efficient and reliable solution for heating and cooling.
How Do Heat Pumps Work?
In the winter, a heat pump works like a heater, extracting heat energy from outside and transferring it inside. In the summer, the process reverses, and it will remove heat from your home and transfer it outside like an air conditioner. Heat pumps do this so well that many people in warmer climates exclusively rely on a heat pump for year-round comfort. For those living in colder climates, they use electric-powered heat pumps in conjunction with their gas or oil furnace resulting in lower heating costs.
Heat pumps work with a series of coils drawing energy from air, water, or the ground. In this way, they are very environmentally friendly and are the most energy-efficient way to heat and cool your home. Heat pumps also work extremely efficiently, because they simply transfer heat, rather than burn fuel to create it. This makes them a greener alternative to traditional gas or oil furnaces. Though you may think you’re unfamiliar with them, they traditionally heat swimming pools and hot tubs, so you most likely have come in contact with them and not even known it.
Different Types of Heat Pumps
There are three types of heat pumps: air-to-air, water source, and geothermal. As mentioned above, they collect their heat from the air, water, and outside-your-home ground and concentrate it for use. Call Mike's Heating & A/C Service to discuss the basic differences between these types and which one would work best for you and your home.
Are Heat Pumps Expensive?
Installation costs of heat pumps are higher than with a traditional furnace or air conditioner, but the savings over time in annual energy costs make up for the difference in five to ten years. Performing proper operation and maintenance of your heat pump will also save you money, as you’ll use less energy, thus resulting in less cost. Be sure to ask your HVAC professional for the proper thermostat setting and the indoor pump’s fan operation. Not following the recommended guidelines can inhibit the maximized running of the pump and can degrade the unit itself. Regular maintenance can prevent degradation as well. Consistent filter changing or cleaning is necessary for a well-running heat pump. Seasonal cleaning of coils and fans go a long way in preventing poor energy efficiency that can end up costing you more money. The energy difference between a well-maintained system and a neglected one can be anywhere from 10 to 25 percent.

“Excellent company. I had a ac unit replacement with no problems the office kept me well informed and all dates and times where kept. Very friendly employees. Thanks Mike's”
“There were 2 techs that showed up on time at 8am. They worked for 7 hours and did a excellent job removing the old unit and installing the new unit. Very professional and really love my new unit.”
“I had my indoor and outdoor unit replaced. Everything from start to finish went flawlessly. Communication throughout the entire process was excellent. They were always on time, performed high quality work, cleaned up after themselves, and put mitigations in place to ensure my home wasn’t damaged. Follow up after the installation was excellent as well. Thanks Mikes AC!!”
“If you only read one sentence know this; Mikes Heating and A/C showed up on time, did the work they promised on the day the promised, and followed up with a quality control visit. I highly recommend that you consider getting a quote from them.
I do not typically write Google reviews. I think if I put my name on a review, it has to be for a very special reason. After we purchased a new heat pump from Mikes Heating and A/C, they asked if we would provide a review. They have not paid me for this review, they did not give me a discount. Trust me we paid dearly for the new unit. However Mikes is a special company, worthy of me taking the time to write a review.
1 of our A/C units failed. We called a couple of companies for quotes, one of them was Mikes Heating and A/C out of Picayune (we are in Diamondhead). From the first email to Mikes, throughout the phone calls, while dealing with technicians and the front office staff everyone was professional. They showed up on time every time. Their work was clean, the technicians were professional. The company is well run and seems to take pride in their work and their customer service.
I doubt Mikes is the cheapest company in town, but I believe you get what you pay for. Highly recommended, and I am sure we will continue to use in the future.
Oh – I have to add, we got our electricity bill today. It seems that when Mikes did the install, they notified Coast Electric that we installed a new efficient heat pump. We got a $400 credit on our electricity bill. Totally unexpected.”
“I had Mike’s replace my older failing heat pump with a complete new installation. The job was completed in a timely and professional manner, and all steps were taken to make sure I was totally satisfied. I highly recommend this company.”
“Guys were supper knowledgeable and loved answering questions. Very professional and courteous, respected my home. The OWNER even came out and rolled up his sleeves. Customer for as long as I’m in your service area. Very highly recommend!!!”
“There’s an old saying you get what you pay for; such doesn’t always hold true in a place and time where quality isn’t defined the same by service providers. Mike’s Heating and A/C understand once a job is complete you leave your name on it based on the service rendered. “Once a task has begun, tarry until it’s done. Be the task great or small, do your best or not at all.” It’s still hard to beat Mike’s Heating and A/C!”
“Mike’s AC offers professional services with knowledgeable staff. The installers are courteous, respectful and efficient.
Mike stands behind his products and gets the job done.”
“The technicians did a very good job with the installation.”
