There are many advantages to having a heat pump installed in your home. A heat pump is a device used to heat and cool your home. Heat pumps transfer heat from one place to another by different air or heat sources. In cooler months, a heat pump pulls heat from the cold outdoor air and transfers it indoors, and in warmer months, it pulls heat out of indoor air to cool your home.
Central Ducted: Standard or Electric
Central ducted heat pumps operate by using a system of ducts to spread out warm or cool air throughout your home. They provide heating or cooling in every room the ductwork reaches, ensuring better air circulation and putting an end to annoying cold or hot spots in the house. These systems work well for homes with existing ductwork or for new builds, combining comfort and practicality.
Ductless Mini-Split
Ductless mini-split heat pumps offer both heating and cooling solutions without ductwork. These systems consist of an outdoor condenser unit that powers one or more indoor blower units. Connected to the outdoor unit through refrigerant lines and electrical wiring, each indoor unit allows for individual temperature control in the room or area they are in. The indoor units come in a variety of configurations including wall-mounted, floor-mounted, and more.
Dual Fuel System: Electric and Gas
Dual fuel heat pump systems, also known as hybrid heat pump systems, bring together the best of both worlds in heating and cooling. They combine an electric heat pump with a backup furnace powered by natural gas. This setup allows for a smooth transition between the two heating sources, adjusting automatically based on the outside temperature and energy costs. It’s a smart and efficient way to keep your home comfortable year-round.
