We offer professional services for heating systems, including installations, repairs, and replacements. Our goal is to ensure your family stays warm during the colder months. Unlike conventional furnaces and air conditioners that generate heat, heat pumps and geothermal systems operate by efficiently moving heat from one location to another. Check out more details below.

At Nelson Heating & Air Conditioning, we install, repair, and maintain heat pump and geothermal systems designed to handle Wisconsin’s changing seasons. If you’re looking for energy-efficient heating and cooling in Wisconsin Rapids, a heat pump or geothermal system may be the right solution. These systems provide year-round comfort while using less energy than traditional HVAC equipment.
Heat pumps and geothermal systems work differently from traditional furnaces and air conditioners. Instead of creating heat, they move heat from one place to another. In winter, they pull heat from outside air or the ground and move it inside. In summer, they reverse the process to cool your home. These systems are ideal for homeowners in Wisconsin Rapids who want
lower energy bills, year-round comfort, reduced environmental impact and consistent indoor temperatures.

Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling in one system. They are efficient, quiet, and reliable.
We provide:
● Heat pump installation
● Heat pump repair
● Heat pump replacement
● Seasonal maintenance
Modern heat pumps are built to perform even during colder Wisconsin winters. With proper installation and maintenance, they can provide reliable comfort all year long.
Geothermal systems use the steady temperature below the ground to heat and cool your home. Because underground temperatures stay stable, geothermal systems are extremely efficient. Benefits of geothermal systems include:
● Very low operating costs
● Long system lifespan
● Quiet operation
● Reliable heating during cold Wisconsin winters
While geothermal installation requires a larger upfront investment, many homeowners in Wisconsin Rapids see long-term savings through reduced utility bills.

Like any HVAC system, heat pumps can develop issues over time.
Watch for:
● Reduced airflow
● System running constantly
● Ice buildup on the outdoor unit
● Higher energy bills
● Uneven temperatures
If you notice any of these problems in your Wisconsin Rapids home, scheduling service early can prevent more costly repairs.
At Nelson Heating & Air Conditioning, we help you choose the right system for your home. Feel free to ask any questions and we will help narrow down the best solution for you and your home.
If you need repairs done, we can help with that. But here are some signs you might need to replace your system. Consider replacing your air-source heat pump after 10 to 15 years, or a geothermal unit after 20 to 25 years. Key signs that replacement is needed include:
● Frequent and costly repairs
● Difficulty maintaining proper heating or cooling
● Significantly higher energy bills
● Excessive operational noise
● Consistent temperature inconsistencies throughout the space
● Use of outdated refrigerant
We provide honest recommendations based on your system’s condition and your budget.

Yes. Modern heat pumps are designed to operate efficiently in colder climates. In very low temperatures, some systems use backup heating for added comfort.
For many homeowners, yes. While installation costs are higher, geothermal systems offer long-term energy savings and excellent performance during Wisconsin winters.
While a typical heat pump lasts 10 to 15 years, well-maintained units can exceed a 20-year lifespan. This shorter lifespan, compared to furnaces, is because heat pumps operate year-round to provide both heating and cooling.
