Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are an efficient solution for heating AND cooling your home, making them an increasingly popular choice among homeowners. By extracting warmth from the air or ground outside and transferring it indoors, heat pumps can operate at a fraction of the cost of traditional heating systems during the winter. While during the summer it extracts heat from the home in order to cool home. Once temperature goes under 30 and the heat pump cannot extract heat form outside the electric heater package will take over and heat your home

  • Having trouble hearing over your AC unit when it turns on? Well modern heat pumps operate quietly allowing you to be more comfortable without the disruptive noises.

Cons

  • Installing a heat pump can be complex, necessitating skilled professionals to ensure optimal performance and efficiency. Improper installation can lead to lower efficiency and higher energy bills.

  • If the heat pump is not sized correctly or if it operates inefficiently, it can lead to increased electricity consumption, raising utility bills.

  • Heat pumps rely on electricity to operate, which can be a disadvantage during power outages or in areas with unreliable electrical service.

  • When determining if a heat pump is energy efficient we look at the units;

    • Energy Star rating: rating used by the EPA to approve the unit meets their energy efficiency standards

    • SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio): rating used measure the average efficiency of a unit over an entire cooling season

    • HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor): rating used to measure the heating efficiency during typical heating season

  • Choosing the right size heat pump is integral to assuring your home gets cooled properly and your unit has a long life span. If sizing is incorrect these are some issues that can occur:

    • Poor humidity control

    • Increased wear and tear of unit

    • High energy bills

    • Inability to heat/cool properly

    • Short cycling (constantly turning on and off)

  • Some extra features you can consider when choosing your heat pump unit are:

    • Advanced air filtration filters

    • Smart thermostats

    • Surge protector

    • Zoning boards

    • Humidifiers

    • EZ-Traps
