A Better Way to Heat and Cool Your Home
Don’t let the name “heat pump” fool you. Because when it comes to providing you with indoor comfort, it’s equal parts heating AND cooling.
That’s right: one system that can replace your existing heating and cooling systems, just like that.
Heat pumps, unlike conventional HVAC systems, transfer heat rather than create it.
During the summer, a heat pump captures heat from inside a home and transfers it to the outdoor air through a condensing unit. During the winter, the process is reversed. Heat is captured from outdoor air, compressed, and released inside.
Heat Pump Installation | Heat Pump Benefits
At times a new heat pump can be a difficult choice since rarely would you need a new furnace and central AC system at the same time. And yet, once you consider the key benefits of a heat pump system, you’ll find it can be worth the investment:
- Use about 25% of the electricity of separate heating and cooling systems…that adds up to a big annual savings.
- High efficiency heat pumps can generate about four times the amount of heat as an electric heating system while using the same amount of energy.
- High-efficiency heat pumps also dehumidify better than conventional central air conditioners, resulting in additional cost savings and greater comfort.
- Air source heat pumps often last for 20 years or more. Compare that to the average 10 – 15 year lifespan of a furnace or AC system.
- No ducts? No problem. Air source heat pumps come in ducted and ductless models.
More and more Optimum Air customers are switching to air source heat pumps. How about you?
