Are you looking for ways to boost HVAC efficiency in Surf City this holiday season? Or maybe you are thinking about how you can upgrade to a whole-house heating and cooling solution within a single HVAC system. Either way, heat pumps are the answer to your needs.
Heat pumps offer so many benefits that you’ll be wondering why you haven’t invested in one of these unique systems sooner. Keep reading to learn all about how heat pumps work and why they are so unique in the HVAC industry. Who knows, you may find one of these fantastic systems wrapped under your Christmas tree this year with a note from Santa!
How Does a Heat Pump Work?
A heat pump uses refrigerant for both heating and cooling. During the summer season, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the air in your home and then transfers that heat outside. During the winter season, the opposite happens. Refrigerant cycles outside to absorb heat from the air and then brings that heat back inside.
It is important to know that in our area where it gets a little cooler, you want to invest in a cold-weather model heat pump. This provides a little bit of extra heating power so that no matter how low temperatures dip outside, you will be warm and comfortable inside. Otherwise, temperatures that are below freezing may not have enough heat to absorb and transfer into your home.
Why Heat Pumps Are a Great Investment
Heat pumps are completely unique in the HVAC industry. They are the all-in-one heating and cooling solution, offering you the chance to consolidate a separate heater and air conditioner down into a single system. This can save you space, but that is not all you are saving.
Heat pumps are known to be very energy-efficient for heating in the winter season. This is because a heat pump is transferring heat energy instead of creating heat the way a furnace does. It’s a much more efficient solution, potentially saving you a lot on your energy costs for the years to come.
Keep in mind that a heat pump works in the same way that a central air conditioner does for cooling. Your energy costs for cooling will be fairly level compared to other cooling solutions. Heat pumps are also fairly easy to maintain. You do need to schedule biannual maintenance appointments for the system to enjoy the best long-term results.
One of these annual appointments serves to care for your heat pump as an air conditioner, and the other serves to care for your heat pump as a heater. After all, your heat pump is operating all your long without any days off. It needs a little extra TLC.
