What is a Heat Pump?

One of the most common questions we often get from our customers, “What is a heat pump?”

A heat pump moves heat from one place to another and offers an energy-efficient alternative to replace the standard furnace and air conditioner.

During the heating season, heat pumps will pull heat from the outdoors inside to warm your home.

During the cooling season, heat pumps move heat from your house into the outdoors to cool your home.

What Does a Heat Pump Do?

A heat pump is both a heating system as well as the cooling system.

As the heat pump does not generate heat, but rather move heat, heat pumps can provide equivalent heating or air conditioning at as little as one-quarter of the cost of operating a furnace and air conditioner. This is possible because a heat pump moves heat rather than converting it from fuel as a standard furnace does.

  • Saves you Money

    If you heat with electricity, a heat pump can trim the amount of electricity you use for heating by as much as 30% to 40%.

  • Dehumidify

    High-efficiency heat pumps also dehumidify better than standard central air conditioners, resulting in less energy usage and more cooling comfort in the summer months.

  • Keeps You Comfortable

    If the temperature outdoors is insufficient to move heat indoors, the system will automatically switch to a heat source or gas furnace to overcome the difference and keep your home warm.

  • Dual Fuel System

    As it is a dual fuel system it also gives homeowner the option to switch the system manually to optimize the homes comfort.
