For a heat pump in an older Montgomery County house, the useful questions are the same at every company here: will the system be sized from a load calculation, will the existing ducts be tested, and will a backup heat source stay in place for the coldest nights. GAC Services and Mannix Heating and Cooling- Gaithersburg both test or seal ducts, and ADI has installed dual fuel systems that keep a furnace as backup.
