I had a 12 year oil furnace with a whole house heat pump. The existing heat pump developed problems due to component failure, scarcity of replacement parts due to its age, changes in A/C refrigerants a new heat pump was required. I got hardware and installation estimates from 4 local vendors and chose Bassinet. The first person a met from Bassinet was Anthony Kent. I was very impressed with his knowledge and thoroughness. He did not just recommend a replacement based on the heat pump I had, he performed a bottoms up analysis of system size based on the individual requirements of my specific house. Anthony was a master of matching OEM capabilities and equipment sizes to my system which was limited due to physical height restrictions of the heat exchange location on top of my furnace. Anthony produced a multi-page document identifying specific vendor equipment, accessory parts as well as customization required for my system, He also identified electrical components that would protect the heat pump from electrical supply variations. and also identified a whole house surge suppressor that would protect all the electrical equipment in my house. System installation was scheduled to allow me to take advantage of federal rebates that expired at the end of 2025 which I would have missed if Anthony had not mentioned it and Bassinet had not scheduled my installation immediately. The heat pump installation was led by Cam O'Loan with a support crew of 2, a lead electrician Dan Castro and his partner. The entire Heat Pump installation and inspection was completed within a few days including the electrical upgrades. Dan Basnett performed the final Basnett inspection It was a definite advantage to have all the trades to come from and be scheduled by Basnett. The Basnett office staff was extremely responsive and helpful.
