Ruud Heat Pump Installation in Chicago — What You Need to Know
D's Air & Heating, Inc. installs Ruud Endeavor™ heat pumps in Chicago homes and businesses. The Ruud Endeavor™ heat pump lineup includes the UP19AY Ultra Series and UP18AZ Ultra Series — both inverter-driven variable-capacity systems capable of delivering efficient heating and cooling from a single outdoor unit. Heat pumps are an increasingly popular choice for Chicago homeowners who want to reduce their dependence on gas heating while maintaining reliable comfort through the cooling season. D's Air performs a free in-home assessment on every heat pump installation to determine the correct system size and confirm that the existing air handler or coil is compatible with the new outdoor unit.
Chicago's climate presents unique challenges for heat pump installations. Temperatures regularly drop below zero in January and February, and standard heat pumps lose efficiency as outdoor temperatures fall. The Ruud UP19AY and UP18AZ use inverter-driven variable-capacity compressors that maintain heating performance at lower outdoor temperatures than conventional single-stage heat pumps. Both models use R-454B refrigerant — a lower-GWP refrigerant that meets current EPA and DOE requirements. D's Air technicians are certified to handle R-454B refrigerant and perform all required leak checks and charge verification at startup.
Every Ruud heat pump installation by D's Air & Heating, Inc. includes removal and disposal of the existing outdoor unit, installation of the new Ruud heat pump on the existing pad or new mounting hardware, refrigerant line set inspection, electrical disconnect and wiring inspection, refrigerant charge verification, thermostat verification and programming, and a full system startup and performance check. D's Air pulls all required City of Chicago mechanical permits and handles inspections. The Ruud 10-Year Limited Parts Warranty is registered at installation, and D's Air applies a 2-Year Workmanship Warranty on all labor.
The UP19AY is the flagship heat pump in the Ruud Endeavor™ Ultra Series, achieving up to 19 SEER2 cooling efficiency and delivering reliable heating performance down to low outdoor temperatures. The UP18AZ offers 18 SEER2 cooling efficiency with the same inverter-driven variable-capacity technology. Both models are EcoNet® enabled for remote monitoring and smart thermostat integration. For homeowners considering a heat pump upgrade, D's Air can evaluate your existing ductwork, air handler, and electrical service to determine whether any upgrades are needed before installation.

Can a heat pump handle Chicago winters?
Modern inverter-driven heat pumps like the Ruud UP19AY and UP18AZ maintain heating performance at lower outdoor temperatures than conventional heat pumps. However, in Chicago's extreme cold, most heat pump installations include a backup electric or gas heating source to handle the coldest days. D's Air evaluates your specific situation during the free estimate.
What refrigerant do Ruud Endeavor™ heat pumps use?
Ruud Endeavor™ heat pumps use R-454B, a lower-GWP refrigerant that meets current EPA and DOE requirements. R-454B is more environmentally responsible than R-410A. D's Air technicians are certified to handle R-454B refrigerant.

Most Ruud heat pump installations are completed in one day.
