Considering a Heat Pump? 3 Benefits of Choosing This to Heat Your Home

Posted on

There are many ways you can heat your home from an HVAC unit to a heat pump. If you are considering a heat pump for your home, there are many benefits of doing this. Below are three of these benefits to help you decide if you want to heat your home this way.

Save Money

Heat pumps are considered to be energy-efficient when compared to typical furnaces and air conditioners. Instead of burning energy in order to cool or warm the air, a heat pump moves the air from one area to another. It takes fewer resources to move air than it does to burn energy.

You will soon see this by your energy bills. If you add the difference of the lower bill over a year you may be surprised at how much money you will save. Being more energy efficient also means heat pumps are eco-friendlier when compared to other types of heating and cooling.

Easy to Maintain

Heat pumps require much less maintenance when compared to other types of heating systems. This is because air is moved around instead of using any type of mechanism like a burner. Much of the maintenance you can even do on your own, such as changing the filter periodically. Other parts of the heat pump should be checked at least once a year. You may want to hire a professional to do this. This professional can tell you about the maintenance that you can do on your own so you won't have to call them in the future.

Dual Purpose: Heating and Cooling

A heat pump does not only heat your home, but it can also cool it during the summer months. This means you only need one system instead of two like you would have if you had a furnace to heat your home. Heat pumps push hot air out of your home and replace it with cool air. This means you will have a consistent temperature without any hot areas in your home.

When the weather heats up, the heat pump goes into reverse mode. The pump uses condenser coils and evaporators in order to cool the air. The coils connect the outdoor and the indoor unit. The refrigerant then flows through the condenser and evaporator. The refrigerant is what makes the air cold before it goes into your home.
