HEAT PUMPS - SALES / SERVICE / INSTALLATION
Unlike the name implies, a heat pump can both heat and cool your home. During winter months, heat pumps absorb heat from the outdoor air and use it to warm your home. when it's hot during the summer months, a heat pump will do the opposite and remove heat from your home to leave it nice and cool.. Heat pumps are more environmentally friendly than many other options because the process is all electric, and does not burn any fossil fuels; unlike a furnace which typically uses natural gas, propane or oil to heat your home. If temperatures outside go below freezing, heat pumps can be combined with furnaces for energy-efficient heating that allows the system to rely on a furnace when it is too cold for the heat pump to operate most effectively. This dual fuel system, alow known as a hybrid system, is both energy and cost-friendly
TYPES OF HEAT PUMPS
Air-source Heat Pumps
Air-source heat pumps are the most common type of heat pump. They transfer heat between your house and the outside air. Air-source heat pumps are incredibly energy efficient and can reduce your electricity use for heating by an estimated 50 percent compare to furnaces or baseboard heaters. They can also dehumidify air better than central air conditioners, reducing energy consumption and increasing comfort.
Ductless Heat Pumps
For homes without a ducted, central HVAC system, a ductless heat pump may be the answer. A ductless heat pump is an efficient and convenient way for homeowners who don't have ductwork to heat and cool their home. Unlike central air conditioning systems, which feed air through a system of ducts and vents, ductless systems are installed directly in the room they're intended to heat or cool. For example - a porch / sunroom / workshop / or older home without ductwork.
