Heat Pumps: A Versatile Heating Solution
A fantastic way to heat your home, heat pumps offer many perks for homeowners. This is especially true for folks that have older HVAC systems. Heat pumps can either be added as ductless systems added throughout your house to add supplemental heating in hard to heat areas, or whole home heat pump systems can be added to replace your standard furnace and air conditioner.
Have a look at some of the benefits having a heat pump installed can offer:
- High Efficiency – A heat pump is one of the most energy efficient options on the market. A heat pump uses cycled refrigerant to heat your home and is powered with electricity, so it uses far less energy than a standard boiler or furnace. A similar, but reversed, process is used to cool your home as well. A heat pump can help you see a great reduction in heating costs in your home.
- Ductless – One huge advantage of opting for a heat pump is the ability to get a ductless system. These heat pumps utilize coolant to absorb heat from coils and bring it into your home. Conversely, during the summer months, this process is reversed, and the pump pulls warm air out of your home. A ductless heat pump is not an invasive system and requires only a few small holes to be drilled into your walls.
- All Year Performance – As previously mentioned, the reversal capabilities of a heat pump means that you can enjoy comfort in your home year-round. Regardless of the time of year, a quality pump can meet the demands of heating and cooling your home effectively. In addition to maintain your year-round comfort, heat pumps are very efficient, which results in you seeing a decrease in your annual energy costs.
Remember the Value of Regular Maintenance
Just like a traditional HVAC system, a heat pump will require regularly schedule maintenance check-ups. Be sure your HVAC provider is experienced in dealing with heat pumps and do not attempt any DIY jobs. Heat pumps contain coolant that is harmful to you and the environment. When you receive reliable maintenance, you can count on your pump to last for years to come.
