High-capacity Lennox heat pump
Residential · Heat Pump · Greater Philadelphia

The problem
A larger home whose previous system was undersized — long run times, hot upstairs rooms and rising bills.
What we did
Installed a high-capacity Lennox two-fan heat pump condenser on a new pad with a matched air handler, sized from a load calculation rather than the old nameplate.
Questions homeowners ask about jobs like this
How do you size a heat pump?
We run a Manual J load calculation on the house — square footage, insulation, windows, orientation — and size to that. Oversizing is as bad as undersizing.
Is a bigger heat pump louder?
Not with this design. Two smaller fans move the same air at lower speed, so the unit is quieter than most single-fan condensers.
