Pros of a Heat Pump
Heat pumps are excellent, HVAC systems and offer some unique benefits that other heaters and air conditioners don’t. A heat pump is an all-in-one heating and cooling solution, which has the potential to save you space over having a separate heater and air conditioner installed.
Heat pumps are comparable to central air conditioners when it comes to cooling, but they are more efficient than heaters when it comes to keeping your home warm in the winter. This is because a heat pump transfers heat from the outside of your home back inside by absorbing the heat in the refrigerant lines. Other heaters create heat using heating elements or an open flame and gas. Creating heat consumes more energy than transferring heat from one place to another.
Cons of a Heat Pump
Heat pumps do have some potential downsides that are worth considering. The colder it is outside, the less heat there is in the air to absorb and transfer into your home. On the coldest days of winter, your heat pump may struggle to heat your home as much as you would like.
If this is a concern for you, a heat pump can still be a great option. You just have to choose the right heat pump for your needs. For example, you may choose a heat pump that has a small add-on furnace, also called a dual-fuel model. Or you might install a cold-weather heat pump that has a greater heating capacity.
How to Choose a Heat Pump for Your Home
Heat pumps have two different efficiency ratings. The first is a SEER2 rating for cooling. The second is an HSPF2 rating for heating. Heat pumps receive two efficiency ratings since they work as both heaters and air conditioners.
Our team can help you navigate what type of heat pump would be best for your home based on efficiency ratings. The higher the energy efficiency, the more that you will save from month to month on your energy costs for heating and cooling.
