Heat Pump Installation & Service in Palos Hills, IL

Mitsubishi Electric Heat Pumps Built for Illinois Cold — Serving Palos Hills, Orland Park, Lemont & the Southwest Suburbs

Heat pumps have transformed what’s possible in Illinois home comfort. Thanks to breakthroughs in cold-climate technology — especially Mitsubishi Electric’s Hyper-Heating INVERTER® (H2i) systems — a heat pump can now efficiently heat your Palos Hills home even when the temperature drops well below zero. A-Guy Heating & Air is the area’s certified Mitsubishi Electric heat pump specialist, offering installation, service, and the industry-leading intelli-HEAT dual-fuel system that pairs a Mitsubishi heat pump with your gas furnace for the best of both worlds.

If you’ve heard that heat pumps don’t work in cold climates, that was true of older technology. Today’s Mitsubishi H2i heat pumps are a completely different story — designed from the ground up for the Illinois climate, they operate at full capacity at 5°F and continue delivering heat at temperatures as low as -13°F. That’s not a workaround. That’s engineering built for Illinois winters.

 Here’s why it’s quickly becoming the most popular upgrade A-Guy installs across the Palos Hills area:

Frequently Asked Questions

Do heat pumps work in Illinois winters?
Modern cold-climate heat pumps absolutely work in Illinois. Mitsubishi’s H2i heat pumps are rated to deliver 100% of their heating capacity at 5°F and continue operating down to -13°F — well within the range of typical Palos Hills winters. For the most extreme cold days, an intelli-HEAT dual-fuel system automatically switches to your gas furnace for backup heat.
A furnace burns fuel (gas or propane) to generate heat. A heat pump moves heat from outside air into your home using electricity — it doesn’t generate heat, it transfers it, which is far more energy-efficient at moderate temperatures. The intelli-HEAT dual-fuel system uses both: the heat pump when it’s efficient, and the furnace as cold-weather backup.
Savings depend on your current system, usage patterns, and utility rates. Many A-Guy customers with intelli-HEAT dual-fuel systems report 30–50% reductions in annual heating energy costs compared to gas-only furnaces. Combined with available tax credits and rebates, the payback period is typically 4–7 years.
Qualifying heat pump installations may be eligible for up to $2,000 in federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act, plus potential rebates through ComEd and Nicor Gas energy efficiency programs. A-Guy can provide documentation of your installed equipment to help you claim applicable credits.
Yes. A-Guy services all major heat pump brands in the Palos Hills area, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, and others. If your system is aging or inefficient, we’ll also give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement with a Mitsubishi system makes more financial sense.
