Heat Pump Tip

In order to keep your heat pump functioning at peak efficiency, you’ll need it to examined by a professional HVAC technician at least once a year. They will perform many essential maintenance tasks, including verifying airflow and refrigerant charge, checking for leaks, inspecting the electrical system, and many more to ensure that your heat pump is functioning effectively and safely. Annual maintenance will help you save money over time; not only will your utility bills be lower but your system will also need fewer repairs!

The Benefits of Heat Pumps

While heat pump technology isn’t new, using heat pumps for home comfort aren’t an option that many homeowners are even aware of, so it’s important to know a little more about them. First, heat pumps are more than just heating systems. In fact, the earliest heat pumps were designed for cooling, and that is still the primary function of many of them today. For instance, your refrigerator and freezer both use heat pumps, as does your current air conditioner. So, why would you want one to provide both heating and cooling for your home?

Because these systems are incredibly efficient when it comes to drawing warm air from one environment and placing it into another. Here’s how they work: when you turn on your heat pump, it uses a compressor and condenser within a heat exchanger to transfer heat from one air source to another. When air travels through your heat pump, heat is removed from it and pumped either inside or outside depending on what season it is.

If you want to keep warm in the winter, the heat pump will extract hidden warm air from outside and bring it into your home. During the summer, your heat pump works just as a central or packaged air conditioner would, extracting heat from your indoor air and sending it back outside.

Heat Pumps in Extreme Cold

Heat pumps work very well without any combustible fuels in temperatures just above freezing. So, in the fall and spring and large parts of the winter, you won’t need a second source of heat. If you live somewhere with very cold winters, however, you should consider either a packaged comfort system or a gas furnace backup. A packaged system will include an electric motor or gas backup that provides extra heat when your heat pump can no longer produce enough on its own. A furnace backup will go one step further and provide a secondary source of heat for extremely cold days.
