What we did
We completed a new heat pump installation for a church in Paint Lick. This visit focused on preparing the system properly before it ever runs, which is where a lot of long-term reliability is decided.
We pressure tested the system and pulled a vacuum on it before charging it with the appropriate refrigerant. We ran thermostat wire from the heat pump to the indoor unit, and the low-voltage wiring is set for startup. To finalize the installation, a 20 amp breaker and a 60 amp breaker will be needed at the main panel.
Pressure testing confirms the refrigerant lines hold tight, and pulling a vacuum clears out air and moisture that do not belong in the system. Skipping either step can shorten the life of the equipment, which matters for a church that depends on a comfortable building through Kentucky heat and cold. Calling out the breaker requirements now keeps the remaining electrical work clear, so the final step toward startup is straightforward. Commercial installs like this one come down to doing each stage in order and documenting what is left before the system goes into service.
