Ducted Heat Pump Installation
We inspect your existing ductwork first: reuse what’s sound, seal leaky runs, and correct undersized sections. Real prices below, and we’re a Mass Save participating contractor.
Your Ductwork, One New System
If your home has ducts, a ducted heat pump replaces both the furnace and the central AC with a single system that heats and cools. No wall units in every room. The air comes out of the same registers it always has. Modern cold-climate heat pumps are built for New England winters. Homes across Fall River, Taunton, and Attleboro are making this exact swap, most of them when an old furnace or AC dies and the replacement math favors doing both at once.
Why the 2026 Rules Make the Installer Matter
Mass Save tightened its requirements in 2026. Rebates now hinge on the right refrigerant, correct sizing, and equipment on the qualified product list. A system that’s quoted wrong gets installed and then rejected. We quote systems that actually qualify. We’re a Mass Save participating contractor and confirm your eligibility, including the home energy assessment step. If your panel needs an upgrade to carry the new system, our electricians handle it in the same project. One company, no handoffs.

What Does a Ducted Heat Pump Cost?
Ducted heat pump installation runs $13,000 to $28,000 for most homes.
Home size, system capacity, and ductwork condition drive the range. A system reusing sound ductwork in a modest home sits at the low end. Larger homes, duct repairs, or higher-efficiency equipment push toward the top.
Mass Save rebates take up to $9,500 off, and income-qualified households can receive up to $16,000. The 0% HEAT Loan finances up to $25,000 with no interest.
A panel upgrade, if your electrical needs one, is quoted with the project and done by our own electricians. You’ll see one number for the whole job before anything starts.
Why Homeowners Choose Triangle for Heat Pumps
In-House Electricians
Most HVAC installers sub out the panel work. That means two companies, two schedules, two invoices. Our own electricians handle the panel work. One company, one invoice.

How much does a ducted heat pump cost after rebates?
The install runs $13,000 to $28,000. In Massachusetts, Mass Save rebates take up to $9,500 off, or up to $16,000 for income-qualified households, and the 0% HEAT Loan spreads the rest with no interest. In Rhode Island, RI Energy rebates run $150 to $1,000 per ton, with Clean Heat RI incentives available through December 31, 2026. Most homeowners land well under the sticker number. We put the exact rebate in your quote.
Will a heat pump keep up in a New England winter?
Yes. Cold-climate models are rated for New England winters. Homes in Attleboro and Mansfield heat through January on these systems every year. Sizing is what separates a system that keeps up from one that doesn’t.
Can I use my existing ductwork?
Usually. We inspect it first. Sound ductwork gets reused, leaky runs get sealed, and undersized sections get corrected so the new system breathes properly. Reusing good ducts is a big part of what keeps ducted heat pumps cheaper than whole-home mini split builds.
What happens to my old furnace?
It goes, along with the outdoor AC unit. One heat pump replaces both. Some homeowners keep a gas furnace as backup in a dual-fuel setup, which we’ll price if you want the option. Either way we haul the old equipment out and dispose of it properly.
How long does installation take?
Two to three days for most homes, including electrical work. Day one is removal and outdoor unit placement. The air handler, connections, and commissioning follow. We test heating and cooling before we leave and register the warranty for you. Call (508) 501-7424 to schedule a quote.
Do I need to handle the rebate paperwork?
No. Triangle is a Mass Save participating contractor in Massachusetts, and we confirm what Rhode Island projects qualify for under RI Energy and Clean Heat RI before you commit. Either way, the incentive paperwork is part of the job, not something you chase after the install. Call (508) 501-7424 with questions.
