Heat that moves instead of burning

A heat pump does not make heat by burning anything. It moves it. In summer it carries heat out of your home and sends it outside. In winter it reverses the job, extracting heat from the outside air and redirecting it inside. R.A. Heating & Air Conditioning describes one unit that delivers versatile heating, cooling and humidity control, so in the right home a single machine can answer both heat and cool.

That reversal is the whole trick, and it is why heat pumps keep gaining popularity. Many experts, in R.A.'s words, are hailing them as the key to sustainable heating and a way to reduce global fossil fuel emissions. The company calls them an energy efficient option and says it is proud to be one of Madison and southern Wisconsin's top installers of these units.

Where a heat pump fits in southern Wisconsin

R.A.'s own guidance is straightforward. For people in moderate climates, where the temperature does not regularly drop below freezing, a heat pump can be the answer to both heating and cooling. South Central Wisconsin winters do cross that line, so the first step is a conversation about your house, your ductwork and what you expect the system to do on the coldest nights.

That conversation starts at the shop on Water Street in Evansville, where the crew has worked since 1980, or by phone at (608) 882-6221. R.A. also points customers to Carrier's ductless systems, so ask about those as well before anyone talks about equipment.

Installed, serviced and repaired by one crew

R.A. handles heat pump installation, maintenance and repair, and says its crew has the experience and knowledge for effective work on all three. The technicians are NATE-certified, meaning tested and certified by North American Technician Excellence, and R.A. keeps them current through continuing education programs and its own on-site training center.

Paperwork is part of the job too. R.A. will help with the energy and tax rebate paperwork connected with alternative HVAC systems such as heat pumps, so the incentives you qualify for do not get lost in forms. The rebates page lays out where to begin, and the office at (608) 882-6221 can walk through it with you.
