Stay Comfortable for Less With Heat Pump Technology 

Winter is almost here, meaning heating bills are about to go up. Homeowners love autumn simply for a short reprieve from cooling bills, but after a short break, they come to expect that winter will cause utility bills to skyrocket again. Isn’t there a better way to heat a home that can be energy efficient and reduce costs without sacrificing comfort?

Heat pumps are the answer to this dilemma. Heat pumps have grown rapidly in popularity for years, and consumer confidence is at an all-time high. Here is a quick introduction to heat pumps for homeowners to gain familiarity with this technology. 

What is a Heat Pump?

heat pumpHeat pumps heat and cool homes with heat energy indoors or outdoors, depending on the season, to make the home comfortable. Heat pumps compress and recycle refrigerant just like a conventional air conditioner and operate the same with one exception to accomplish this. They operate in reverse during the winter to move heat from outside into living spaces. 

There are a few common types of heat pumps that every homeowner should know. Common options are:

  • Air source heat pumps
  • Ground source heat pumps (also called geothermal heat pumps)
  • Water source heat pumps

Each of these uses a specific heat energy source, but all work similarly to save homeowners money during the year. 

Heat Pumps and Ductless Heating Benefits

One of the most popular innovations in heat pump technology is ductless heating with a mini split heat pump. A mini-split is a heating and cooling device that uses heat pump technology to keep a home comfortable in the winter and summer. Ductless systems work on the same principles as a central system except that they have individual units that distribute conditioned air instead of a central blower that circulates air with air ducts. This leads to all kinds of benefits, like:

  • Better temperature control with zoning
  • Increased efficiency
  • Lower heating and cooling bills
  • Easy installation

Mini split heat pumps make an easy addition to any home at any stage of its life. Mini-splits are a great answer for homes that have had rooms added on or where the heater simply can’t keep up. They are also perfect for retrofitting homes without central heating or air ducts and are great for finished shops or garages. 

Save Money With Better Efficiency

Perhaps the most significant benefit of heat pumps is that they can be way more energy efficient than other types of heating or air conditioning systems. This means homeowners can save tons of money throughout the year without sacrificing a comfortable home. 

In addition to being more energy efficient, heat pumps save money in another way. Maintenance costs are reduced by using the same equipment for heating and cooling all year long, and repairs are far less frequent. Between energy savings and reduced repair bills, homeowners can quickly realize the financial benefits of installing a heat pump.
