Reliable Heat Pump Services
A heat pump is incredibly efficient thanks to its ability to utilize heat from the outside to warm your home and its method of reversing this heat transfer to cool it. Other traditional equipment like central air conditioners and furnaces require a forced air system with ductwork, which loses lots of efficiency. For warmth, a heat pump can be as high as 600% efficient, while your typical gas heater only functions at an efficiency level of about 95%.
There are a few different types of heat pump devices that you can use for residential homes. You might opt for an air-source heat pump or a water-to-air heat pump. You can even install a geothermal heat pump that will draw warmth from the ground in winter by taking advantage of its relatively constant temperature at a fairly shallow depth.
You’ll derive some significant benefits from this sort of system:
- Smaller carbon footprint
- Better indoor air quality
- Reduced utility bills
- Quieter operation
While the initial investment of a heat pump installation is a bit more expensive than standard heating and cooling equipment, you save more money in the long run. Also, there are usually tax rebates and incentives that make it affordable to invest in this kind of equipment for your home.
Heat pumps can also help you maintain a safe home environment. They do not rely on the combustion of fuel to work. This means there isn’t a risk of deadly levels of carbon monoxide accumulating in your indoor air. You can also maintain healthy indoor air quality with a heat pump thanks to its natural ability to help you maintain acceptable indoor humidity levels. This can reduce the concentration of particulate matter in your indoor environment as well.
