Don’t let the name heat pump fool you. When paired with an air handler, a heat pump is an excellent alternative for heating and cooling your home. Also, heat pumps are often more efficient and deliver superior performance over other heating and cooling methods. To determine if a heat pump can meet your household’s needs, call one of our trained experts for a consultation.
Heat Pump Benefits
Heating and cooling your home takes a lot of energy, so it’s best if you can find a system that delivers the best performance at the highest efficiency to save you money.
You may not realize it, but heat pumps are often more efficient than traditional HVAC systems because rather than requiring a fuel source like oil or gas, heat pumps extract heat from the air outside and bring it into the home. And, in the summer, the heat pump performs this action in reverse, so you get a heating and cooling system in one unit.
If you’ve never considered replacing your HVAC system with a heat pump, here are several things to consider.
IMPROVED ENERGY EFFICIENCY
When your utility bills suddenly spike for no discernable reason, it could be that your heater has lost efficiency and is working harder to do the same job it did before. While it’s not uncommon for power providers to raise rates gradually if you notice a sudden rise, call for a heater inspection.
LOWER ENERGY BILLS
The more efficient a heating and cooling system is, the less energy it needs to do its job. So, since heat pumps don’t consume as much energy as traditional HVAC systems, you save significant amounts of money on your energy bills.
BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
For those who are conscious about the environment, you’ll be happy to know that heat pumps are more environmentally friendly than other heating and cooling systems. Heat pumps produce lower emissions because they don’t require combustion to control the household temperature.
YEAR-ROUND COMFORT
The most significant benefit to installing a heat pump is that it provides both heating and cooling from the same unit. This not only delivers comfort all year long, but it’s easier to maintain and lasts longer than other heating and cooling methods
When to Call for Heat Pump Service
While a heat pump is a highly efficient heating and cooling system, they’re only as good as the shape they’re in like any machine. Your heat pump won’t do you any good if it’s worn down or hasn’t been adequately maintained. Here are the most common signs that your heat pump requires repair or maintenance.
AGE
Although heat pumps last longer than traditional HVAC systems, they eventually wear out. Most manufacturers provide an estimate for how long your heat pump should last, so if yours is past its prime, consider replacing it sooner rather than later.
SPIKE IN ELECTRIC BILLS
Another sign that your heat pump may be failing is if you notice that your electric bills have skyrocketed. When heating and cooling systems lose efficiency, they use more energy to do their job, which means money out of your pocket.
STUCK IN ONE MODE
Reversing valves control the flow of refrigerant in your heat pump. So, if problems arise with the valve, it can lock the heat pump into either heating or cooling mode.
STRANGE NOISES
Like spiking energy bills, if your heat pump suddenly starts making strange noises like hissing, gurgling, or grinding, it’s a sign that something isn’t working correctly.
