A lot of homeowners choose heat pumps for heating and cooling their homes. Heat pumps transfer heat between two reservoirs. In the warmer months, your heat pump acts like an air conditioner, removing heat from the air inside and transferring it outdoors. In the colder months, your heat pump takes outdoor air, heats it up, and transfers it back into your home. Heat pumps are a more affordable alternative to furnaces and can be much more efficient than even the most efficient furnaces on the market.
For homes in climates with moderate heating and cooling needs, a heat pump is one of the most energy-efficient ways to keep a home comfortable year-round. Heat pumps work a lot like a refrigerator or air conditioners. They use electricity and refrigerant to “pump” or move heat from one location to another. They do not generate heat the way a furnace does. Instead, they take advantage of the energy found in the air, ground, and water sources surrounding your home.
Air source heat pumps, also known as air-to-air heat pumps, extract heat from outdoor air and transfer it into your home. These heat pumps are the easiest and most affordable type of heat pumps to install.
Ductless or mini-split air source heat pumps are becoming popular due to their small size and flexibility for zoning or heating and cooling individual rooms. The amount of space you want to control can determine if a mini-split or ductless heat pump makes sense.
Deliver high-performance heating and cooling for any building application while improving energy efficiency. Water source heat pumps lower operating costs, optimize performance with tracer system and offer sustainable efficiency for a variety of building applications.
Proper installation and maintenance of your heat pump water heating system can optimize its energy efficiency. Proper installation depends on many factors; These factors include fuel type, climate, local building code requirements, and safety issues. Therefore, it’s best to have a qualified plumbing and heating contractor (or geothermal heat pump system installer/designer) install your heat pump.
It all depends on your home, location, and unique needs. The easiest way to find out which heating system is best for your home or business is to give Henry Mechanical a call.
