HEAT PUMP SYSTEM
​
​
If you are looking for a way to advance your home’s comfort and energy efficiency, then a heat pump may be right for you. Heat pump systems use the principles of air conditioning to both heat and cool your home. During the winter, heat pumps absorb heat from the outdoors (even in cold weather) and move it into your house. During the summer, heat pumps move heat from your house and push it outdoors, thus cooling your home down. Because they move heat rather than generate it, heat pumps can provide equivalent space conditioning at as little as one quarter of the cost of operating conventional heating or cooling appliances.
BENEFITS OF A HEAT PUMP
With a heat pump installation, you’ll enjoy these benefits and more:
-
Year–Round Comfort: The biggest reason to invest in a heat pump is the 2–in–1 service it provides. Rather than needing to purchase an air conditioning unit and a separate furnace or heating system, you have everything you need in one system.
-
Energy Savings: Heat pumps are typically less costly to run month–to–month than other types of cooling and heating systems—particularly electric furnaces. This is because a heat pump doesn’t use energy to generate heat—rather, it transfers heat from one area to another.
-
Increased Safety: Today’s gas–powered HVAC systems are built with consumer safety in mind—meaning you do not have to worry too much about a malfunction threatening your home or family, particularly if the system is regularly maintained. However, gas–powered systems still do pose a risk—one of which you can avoid altogether with an electric heat pump.

SIGNS YOU NEED HEAT PUMP REPLACEMENT
One of the best indications that your heat pump is in need of replacement is its age. If it’s an older system and you find that you need frequent repairs—more than once or twice a year is too much—then it may certainly be time to consider upgrading your heat pump system.
This is particularly true if you are facing a repair that will cost you over half of what a new system would. Additionally, if you notice humidity problems in your home when they weren’t there before, this could also be a sign of a heat pump that needs replacing.
