A contractor quoting a heat pump installation in Troup County has to treat the local climate as a design input, not an afterthought. 154 severe weather events were recorded in Troup County, Georgia between 2015 and 2024. At that rate, severe weather is a standing feature of operating life here, which means a system sized on catalog assumptions alone will be undersized for what this area actually asks of it. Sealing, refrigerant charge, and equipment placement all carry more consequence when the weather loads are real and recurring.
Ductwork laid down for a furnace-and-window-unit household runs a different path and carries a different static pressure than what a heat pump needs to move conditioned air efficiently through the whole house. Half the homes in Troup County, Georgia were built in 1986 or earlier (2020-2024 ACS 5-year). A contractor quoting a heat pump here will open registers, check trunk dimensions, and measure airflow before pricing the unit itself, because the duct system may need rebalancing or partial replacement before a new system can do its job. The electrical service gets the same look: the panel feeding a house of this vintage was built around a different load, and a heat pump's draw can exceed what that service was sized for.
What a Heat Pump Installation Puts in Your Home
The outdoor unit sits on a pad beside the house and holds the compressor and coil that do the system's core work. Inside, the air handler mounts in a utility space, attic, or closet and moves conditioned air through the home. Together these two units are what a new heat pump installation places.
A refrigerant line set runs between the outdoor unit and the air handler, connecting the two and carrying the working fluid between them. A thermostat goes on an interior wall and gives the homeowner direct control over the system. Each of these pieces is part of what a contractor installs when the job is complete.
The drawing shows a typical layout, and a licensed contractor determines exactly what applies to your house.

Heating and cooling loads in Georgia are shaped by what the weather actually does, not by regional averages. A heat pump sized and installed for local conditions handles real demand better, and that starts with knowing what this area sees.
