The Benefits of Heat Pump Installation

Monday, September 26th, 2016

If you’re in the market for a new heating system, you have a lot of different options to choose from. Each home heating system has its own set of pros and cons, and is suited to a different set of individual needs. It’s important that you narrow down which heating system is the right one for your unique situation before having one installed. Read on to find out more about heat pumps, how they work, and the advantages that they can offer you.

Heat Pumps

A heat pump is constructed less like a heater and more like an air conditioner. Two units evaporate and condense refrigerant to move heat from one place to another, just like an air conditioner does. The difference is that heat pumps have a reversing valve, which allows them to change the direction that refrigerant flows through the system. By doing this, the heat pump can act as either a heater or air conditioner.

Advantages of Heat Pumps

By using a heat pump all year-round, you are condensing two different climate control functions into one system. That’s immensely helpful when it comes to saving space and money on climate control. Heat pumps are also quite a bit more energy efficient than most combustion based heating systems. They don’t have to burn fuel to generate heat, and so they don’t cost nearly as much to heat the home. They also don’t produce any toxic combustion byproducts, like some furnaces and boilers do. If you’re looking for a way to make your home more energy efficient and comfortable at the same time, you should consider installing a heat pump system in your home.
