Heat pumps are more efficient in that they transfer heat versus generated. This makes them quite efficient in operating cost. In basic terms, a heat pump extracts heat from the surrounding air. Heat pumps are located outside of your home or place of business and work much like a typical AC unit. During the summer, it pulls heat out of your home and transfers it back outside. It does the opposite during the winter months. These efficient HVAC systems use refrigerant to provide comfort—just like an AC unit. The only difference is the way that it generates air.
Another benefit to homeowners or businesses is that there isn’t a need for two units. These HVAC systems can be coupled with an additional heating coil or a furnace for colder climates such as some western North Carolina areas. If you need a new heat pump or need a heat pump repair, give us a call.
