Heat pumps are one of today’s most energy-efficient ways to heat and cool your home. Thornton Heating & Sheetmetal has been installing, repairing, and maintaining heat pump systems throughout Hailey, Bellevue, Ketchum, Sun Valley, Stanley, Carey, Blaine County, and Camas County since 1973.
Whether you’re replacing an older HVAC system, building a new home, or looking for a more energy-efficient comfort solution, our experienced technicians can help you determine whether a heat pump is the right choice for your property.
We install and service both traditional heat pumps and ductless mini-split heat pump systems designed to provide dependable year-round comfort in Idaho’s changing climate.
Unlike a traditional furnace or air conditioner, a heat pump provides both heating and cooling from a single system.
During the summer, a heat pump removes warm air from your home and transfers it outdoors, keeping your living spaces cool and comfortable.
During the winter, the process reverses. The system extracts heat from the outdoor air—even during cold temperatures—and transfers it inside your home.
Because heat pumps move heat rather than create it, they can provide exceptional comfort while using significantly less energy than many conventional HVAC systems.
Heat pumps continue to grow in popularity because they provide efficient heating and cooling in one system.
Benefits include:
A professionally installed heat pump can provide dependable comfort throughout every season of the year.

Ductless heat pumps, also known as mini-split systems, provide efficient heating and cooling without requiring traditional ductwork.
Each indoor unit independently controls the temperature in a specific room or area, allowing for customized comfort throughout your home.
