Babylon Heat Pumps FAQ
Is the outdoor unit supposed to steam?
Yes. That's defrost mode. Don't call Hailey about it.
Can a heat pump use my existing ducts?
Often, yes, as long as the ducts are sized well enough for the airflow.
Do you really cover West Islip (Babylon side)?
Yes. Coming in on the LIRR Babylon branch corridor, give or take a deli stop. It heats AND cools. Our guys still won't be able to tell you which mode it's in.
