Jamie needed an effortless heat pump installation
Jamie, a working father of two teens living in a 2,200 square-foot home in Croton-On-Hudson, had been wanting to upgrade his outdated heating and cooling system for a while. Between his old heating oil system and inefficient mini splits for air conditioning, keeping his home comfortable was both challenging and expensive. A heat pump upgrade was the only solution.
If you need to get up to speed, here’s a heat pump guide with everything you need to know.
“I was fed up with heating oil, and the poor design of my house made matters worse,” Jamie said. With so many moving parts—installers, electricians, financing, and rebates—the idea of taking on the project alone felt overwhelming. He looked up Westchester HVAC reviews and that’s how he found Tetra.

Jamie’s heat pump upgrade: from start to finish
Jamie’s home upgrade involved removing his inefficient heat pump system, which included five outdoor condensers and their evaporator coils. These were replaced with just two 3-ton condensers and five new evaporator coils, making the system more efficient and quieter.
Additionally, Jamie’s old oil boiler and water heater were removed, and his water heater was replaced with a new electric hybrid model. This upgrade further improved his home’s efficiency and comfort.
