Why Choose a Heat Pump for Heating and Cooling?
Heat pumps are one of the most energy efficient systems available today for both heating and cooling your home. Here are some of the top benefits of installing an AC heat pump:
- Dual Functionality - Heat pumps provide air conditioning in the summer and heat in the winter, all in one system. This eliminates the need for a separate furnace and air conditioner.
- Energy Savings - New heat pump models can provide up to three times the heating and cooling efficiency of older systems. This translates to lower monthly energy bills.
- Environmentally Friendly - Heat pumps produce very low greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuel heating systems. Going green can also earn you tax credits and rebates.
- Consistent Temperatures - Unlike conventional AC units that turn off once a set temperature is reached, heat pumps run at low levels to maintain a steady, comfortable temperature in your home.
- Quiet Operation - The latest heat pump compressors, fans and designs run very quietly compared to older units. This keeps sound levels low indoors and outdoors.
- Long Lasting - Properly installed heat pump systems can provide effective heating and cooling for over 15-20 years. This makes them a wise, long term investment in your home's comfort.
How Does an AC Heat Pump Work?
AC heat pumps work by transferring heat between the inside and outside of your home using refrigeration technology. In the summer, heat is pulled from indoors and released outdoors to provide cooling. In the winter, the process is reversed - heat is extracted from outdoor air and pumped indoors even at cold temperatures.
Some key components of a heat pump system include:
- Outdoor Unit - Contains the compressor, fan and refrigerant coils to absorb or release heat.
- Indoor Air Handler - Features a blower fan to circulate conditioned air through ductwork. Some systems combine the blower into the outdoor unit.
- Reversing Valve - Switches refrigerant flow direction between cooling and heating modes.
- Thermostat - Allows you to adjust target temperatures and control the system.
- Refrigerant Lines - Connects the indoor and outdoor units to circulate refrigerant.
- Ductwork - Distributes heated or cooled air from the handler throughout your home.
Choosing the Right Size AC Heat Pump
Proper sizing is crucial to ensure your new heat pump will heat and cool effectively and efficiently. Action's technicians will perform detailed calculations taking into account factors like:
- Square footage of your home
- Window area and exposure
- Insulation levels
- Local climate and temperatures
- Number of floors
- Desired comfort settings
Oversized units that cycle on and off frequently can lead to uneven temperatures and higher bills. Our team has the expertise to determine optimal heat pump sizing for your home's unique requirements.
