New heat pump systems for homes and businesses across Palm Beach County. Here the cooling load is the big one, so the system gets sized for August — and the heating capacity follows from that rather than the other way round.

Why It Suits Here
Advanced Cooling and Heating is a licensed Florida HVAC contractor (License #CAC057209), established in 1996 and based in West Palm Beach. A heat pump is the standard choice in Palm Beach County, and for a straightforward reason: it is one machine doing what would otherwise need two.
Heat pumps work by moving heat rather than making it, which is why they are efficient. In colder states that gets harder as the outdoor temperature drops, and a backup heat source becomes essential. Here, a cold front rarely goes low enough for that to matter — there is plenty of heat in the outdoor air to collect.
So the sizing question is settled by summer. Cooling is the demanding load in this county by a wide margin, and a system correctly sized for August will comfortably handle January. That is the opposite of how the same equipment gets specified further north, and it is why northern sizing advice misleads here.
The Part Nobody Explains
Every heat pump here has electric backup heat built into the air handler. How it is sized and configured makes a real difference to your winter bills, and it is the least discussed part of the specification.
That is usually strip heat carrying more of the load than it should — either because the heat pump is undersized, is low on charge, or the controls are calling for backup too eagerly.
It is worth diagnosing rather than accepting. The fix is often configuration rather than equipment.
Get It CheckedThe Installation
A heat pump install is an air conditioner install plus the heating side. These are the steps that decide whether the system reaches its rated performance.
Worked out for the building as it stands, driven by cooling demand, before any equipment is selected.
Condenser and air handler specified as a pair. Mismatched components never reach their rated efficiency.
Supply and panel capacity confirmed for both the compressor and the strip heat, which is the larger electrical draw.
Condenser mounted to Florida wind load standards, with placement chosen for airflow and salt exposure.
Refrigerant weighed in to specification, then verified by superheat and subcooling rather than guessed.
Commissioned in cooling and in heating, with airflow balanced and the thermostat configured for correct changeover.
Yes. Heat pumps provide both cooling and heating in one system, making them ideal for Florida’s mild winters and long cooling seasons. A properly installed heat pump improves efficiency and reduces reliance on electric strip heating.
Heat pump installation near me services include Manual J load calculation, equipment sizing, condenser and air handler installation, refrigerant line configuration, electrical verification, thermostat staging setup, and full performance testing in both cooling and heating modes.
Most residential heat pump installations in Florida projects are completed within one to two days, depending on ductwork modifications and electrical requirements.
Yes. Installation applies to new system setups or first-time integration. Replacement involves removing and upgrading an existing heat pump unit.
