HVAC installer in Omaha, NE

matt99_99 | Posted in General Questions on

I have engaged Energy Vanguard to do the full HVAC design for a ranch home in Omaha, Nebraska.  I have been trying to do the legwork on finding a good installer, as my builder and their contractors do not think that an air source heat pump can work without a gas furnace backup.  Does anyone know any forward thinking HVAC contractors/companies in the area?  I will wait for the full HVAC design, but my preference is a Mitsubishi Hyper Heat (or similar performing ASHP) with a single air handler and ducting.

Thanks,
Matt

    I will answer my own question. I am working with Corwin Keller from Ideal Heating and Air in Omaha. He's been great and very good working with energy vanguard. I can't say enough about how good it's been so far, although we're yet to install everything.

      I'm hoping you have email notifications set up to this thread still. I'd love to pick your ear about local contacts for GBA/FHB level of work/consultation as I also live in Omaha.

      I'm reading this thread and I also live in Omaha. About to start a remodel here and I'm always looking for better building ideas. Trying to decide on entry doors right now. Thanks for the tip on Ideal.

    Will you have any source of backup heat? Electric resistance heating? Most houses have a backup source of heat and in such a cold climate I would recommend you have a backup source of heat whether that be a gas furnace, electric resistance heat, a temporary propane heater, wood stove, etc.

      I’d likewise also want a backup source for sure. Barely costs more in the grand scheme of building and maintaining comfort is like purpose #1 of a house
