Residential heat pump unit running outside a home on a snowy winter day

Heat pumps have become one of the most cost-effective ways to heat and cool a Missouri home, and Neece Heating and Cooling installs, services, and repairs every configuration of them — standard split systems, dual-fuel systems paired with a gas furnace, and ductless mini-splits for additions, garages, and finished basements in and around Independence.

Because a heat pump both heats and cools, it runs far more hours per year than a furnace does, and it needs a technician who understands reversing valves, defrost boards, outdoor sensors, and balance-point settings. We diagnose the symptoms that owners notice most — ice building on the outdoor coil, cool air from the vents in heating mode, a unit that never seems to shut off, or auxiliary heat running when it should not be — and correct the underlying control or refrigeration issue instead of masking it.

Installation, repair, and defrost tuning for year-round heat pump comfort.

Dual-fuel systems get particular attention. Setting the balance point correctly determines whether your system leans on inexpensive heat pump heating or expensive backup heat, and a mis-set thermostat can quietly add hundreds of dollars to a winter's utility bills. We configure the controls, verify the changeover, and show you exactly how the system is meant to behave.

If you are considering a heat pump for the first time, we will model the operating cost against your current system honestly and tell you where the payback really lands.
