As more Bedford homeowners seek energy-efficient ways to heat and cool their homes, heat pumps are quickly becoming the go-to solution. These systems provide reliable comfort throughout the year and can significantly reduce energy consumption. At A.J. LeBlanc Heating, we have been keeping New Hampshire homes comfortable since 1928, and we are excited to help more families experience the benefits of this technology.

We are a fourth-generation family-owned business, and over the past 97 years, we have witnessed numerous changes in the HVAC industry. One of the most impactful innovations has been the heat pump. Unlike traditional heating systems that burn fuel to generate warmth, heat pumps work by moving heat rather than creating it. In the winter, they extract heat from the outside air and bring it into your home. In the summer, they reverse the process to remove heat and keep your space cool.

This is all done using electricity, but it is essential to understand that heat pumps do not generate heat in the same way as electric baseboards or space heaters. Instead of using large amounts of electricity to create heat, they use a small amount to transfer it. That makes them far more efficient and much more affordable to operate, even during New Hampshire’s cold winters.

For those looking to move away from fossil fuels, heat pumps are a great option. In fact, some models qualify for federal tax credits and local utility rebates through programs like NHSaves. Whether you are replacing an aging system or building something new, heat pumps are a smart investment in both comfort and sustainability.

At A.J. LeBlanc Heating, we offer a wide selection of heat pump systems to fit any home. For traditional ducted systems, we highly recommend Bosch—their equipment is ultra-quiet, energy efficient, and built to last. We are proud to be a Bosch Platinum Elite Contractor, a distinction awarded to top dealers nationwide. This elite status also means our Bosch installations come with an extended warranty for added peace of mind.

For homes that do not have ductwork or where zoned heating and cooling makes more sense, we often recommend Daikin mini-splits. That said, we are not limited to just one or two brands. We also install Amana, Goodman, Rheem, LG, Mitsubishi, and American Standard systems. Having numerous options allows us to find the right fit for each homeowner, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

We believe in practicing what we preach. Every owner and manager at A.J. LeBlanc Heating has a heat pump installed in their own home. To take it a step further, we even built a fully electric, ENERGY STAR certified house that operates without any fossil fuels. The home runs entirely on electricity and stays comfortable throughout the year, even during the coldest New Hampshire winters. It is a real-life example of how effective a professionally installed heat pump system can be.

What really sets us apart is our people. Because we are family-owned and operated, we treat our customers like part of the family, too. Our team takes pride in offering honest advice, quality workmanship, and friendly service. We are not here to push products. We are here to help you make the best choice for your home and budget.
