What Is a Heat Pump?

A heat pump is a heating and cooling appliance that works by moving heat rather than generating it. In the winter, a heat pump moves heat indoors. In the summer, it will move the heat outside. Heat pumps work by utilizing a refrigerant liquid to absorb heat from the air or ground outside, causing it to evaporate.

A compressor then increases the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant gas, which is then released into your home. The refrigerant condenses back into a liquid, which moves through an expansion valve to cool, restarting the cycle. During the summer, this process is simply reversed to draw warm air out of your home.

Benefits of Heat Pumps

Heat pumps offer a wealth of benefits for homeowners to enjoy. First is energy efficiency. Heat pumps use much less electricity to operate than traditional furnaces, meaning that you can slash your energy bills by installing a heat pump in your home. Additionally, heat pumps work for both heating and cooling, so you can enjoy a heat pump air conditioner during the summer for year-round comfort.

Heat Pump Installation & Maintenance

Heat pump installation requires both indoor and outdoor work. The outdoor condenser will be placed on a level pad next to your home, and it will be wired with a dedicated circuit. It’s then connected to refrigerant and drainage lines and hooked up to an indoor unit that attaches to your home’s existing ductwork. Once your unit is professionally installed, it should be maintained with seasonal HVAC tune-ups, which will extend the life of your system, boost energy efficiency, and reduce the risk of a sudden breakdown.
