Home / Systems / Cold-Climate Heat Pumps
Cold-climate heat pumps — like Mitsubishi’s Hyper-Heat — are built to keep heating efficiently when the temperature drops well below zero. That’s exactly what Upstate NY winters demand. Astello installs cold-climate ductless systems across the Albany–Schenectady–Troy area that heat hard in January and cool quietly in July. Free estimates, and we handle your NYS Clean Heat rebate paperwork.
This isn’t theory for us: last December we installed five zones in an 1890 Troy house with radiators and no ductwork — three days of freezing weather, and the house was heating with the new system that same week.

Older heat pumps faded in deep cold. Today’s cold-climate systems — Mitsubishi Hyper-Heat, Cooper & Hunter, and Senville cold-climate lines — deliver dependable heat well below 0°F without a backup furnace. You get steady warmth on the coldest nights, efficient cooling in summer, and one system that runs all year on electricity.
Tell us about your home and we’ll put together a clear, no-pressure quote — usually within a day.
Cold-climate hyper-heat models keep making heat down to about -22°F. Upstate winters do not get there, so one system carries the house through January without a backup.
These are not shoulder-season helpers. They are efficient enough to be your primary heat, which is how homeowners here retire an oil or propane boiler for good.
Not every heat pump survives a real Upstate winter. We install cold-climate-rated Mitsubishi, Senville, and Cooper & Hunter systems built for below-zero performance.
We visit your home, talk through your comfort goals, and size the right system for your space.
You get a flat, all-in quote with equipment, labor, and rebate savings spelled out. No surprises.
Our crew installs your mini-split — usually in a day or two — and cleans up when we’re done.
We test everything, show you how it runs, and file your NYS Clean Heat paperwork for you.
