Heat Pump Tip
Did you know that heat pumps made today can be up to 2 times more energy efficient than those made 30 years ago? This amazing increase in effectiveness is due to improvements in HVAC technology. Newer heat pumps have thermostatic expansion valves, improved electric motors, and variable speed blowers, all of which help make them as energy efficient as possible. If you are looking for a way to make your home more environmentally friendly, a new heat pump is a great way to start!
How Heat Pumps Work
As their name implies, heat pumps pump heat. But it is where they get the heat that sets them apart on the home heating stage. During the winter months, heat pumps extract heat from the outdoor air and pump it directly into your home. While the air outside is obviously quite cold, it still contains a great deal of heat and heat pumps are designed to find and extract it.
Heat Pumps for Cooling
But heating your home is not the only thing a heat pump can do. In fact, these excellent systems provide a year round home comfort solution because they are just as capable of cooling your home in the summer as they are at heating it in the winter. To do this, heat pumps simply operate in reverse, extracting heat from your indoor air and pumping it outside.
Benefits of Heat Pumps
Of course, many types of heating systems keep your home warm in the winter. So what makes heat pumps so special? Well, for one thing, they are extremely energy efficient. Furnaces take in fuel and turn it into heat. But heat pumps do not actually generate any heat on their own. Because of this, they do not use nearly as much energy as other types of home heating systems do, and that means a big annual savings for you.
Heat pumps are also quite affordable to install and maintain, and they provide a much more uniform heating and cooling experience than some other types of home comfort systems do. While a furnace maintains a certain indoor temperature by producing very hot air periodically and then allowing it to disperse throughout your home, a heat pump provides a steady stream of warmer air all day long.
This helps to avoid the development of hot and cold spots throughout your home and it also tends to alleviate some of the “dry heat” problems associated with furnace heat in the winter. The same is true in the summer, since heat pumps simply remove the heat from your indoor air rather than blowing in cold air as an air conditioner might.
