Answer ten questions and we’ll point you to the right next step for a ducted heat pump project in Washington, DC. At [Perennial DC Heat Pumps](https://perennialdcheatpumps.com/) we install and replace ducted heat pumps. The tool only uses your answers, so it can’t diagnose equipment, judge safety, size a system or approve a rebate; we do that on the site visit.

## How we pick your result

We look first at whether the house is in DC and who can approve the work, then at the system and ducts, then at whether you want to keep the furnace and how you heat now. Anything you don’t know stays marked as unknown. Your timing doesn’t change the result or book a date. The result tells you why we chose it and what to gather.

## Bring the result to your estimate

Collect the equipment records you can reach and any permissions you know about, without opening electrical or refrigerant equipment. Read our [survey guide](https://perennialdcheatpumps.com/blog/preparing-for-a-heat-pump-survey/) and [quote checklist](https://perennialdcheatpumps.com/guide/heat-pump-quote-checklist/). If something is unsafe right now, such as a burning smell or sparking, call the right emergency or equipment service; this planning tool doesn’t send anyone out.
