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a working father of two teens living in a 2,200 square-foot home in Croton-On-Hudson, had been wanting to upgrade his outdated heating and cooling system for a while.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.

“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.

Why Jamie chose Tetra for his heat pump upgrade


Jamie knew he needed a partner who could handle every part of the heat pump install process, and Tetra’s full-service approach was exactly what he needed.

“The whole thing took no effort on my part,” Jamie shared. “Four 20-minute phone conversations and everything was done for me.”

Tetra took all the work off his hands. From designing the system to managing the financing, Tetra ensured Jamie’s experience was as smooth and hassle-free as possible. We even helped him navigate the Con Edison rebate applications, which saved even more time.

“The handling of the loan was a huge advantage," Jamie added. "It took only 20 minutes to get an estimate, compared to the lengthy processes with other contractors."

He also appreciated how transparent and communicative the Tetra team was. "I always knew what to expect, and they took care of everything—from coordinating skilled electricians to ensuring a smooth installation.” From making sure Jamie’s system was cold-climate rated to abide by rebate rules, to handling permits, Tetra really does make the heat pump installation as effortless as possible.

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.

“The new air conditioners are fantastic—far fewer condensers, much quieter, and incredibly effective,” Jamie noted. “The benefits of quieter, more efficient cooling and less maintenance are well worth it.”
