Heat Pumps - Year-round Comfort

February 10, 2015

Year-round, total home comfort can seem like a distant possibility when trying to decide which home comfort system is best for the conditions in Auburn. Making that decision alters not only your comfort, but your wallet as well, so making the most informed decision possible is vital to keeping your home comfortable for the long haul.

Calling it a heat pump can seem a bit confusing when the system actually covers both your heating and cooling needs, but could easily be the comprehensive system you’ve been searching for. Heat pumps operate like refrigerators in that they use electricity to pump refrigerant to different rooms to transfer heat. The main distinction between an air conditioner and a heat pump is that heat pumps transfer heat from the outside air and air conditioners direct heat out of the home.

Heat pumps can be the perfect product for energy efficient heating and cooling year-round, and because it can provide both functions, all that is required is a simple change of the system’s mode. Because heat pumps don’t have to create heat, it makes them much more efficient as well.

 So how can you benefit from a heat pump in Auburn?

  • Lower Heating Bills: because heat pumps run on electricity, they keep energy costs down compared to other means such as oil, kerosene and propane.
  • Better Air Quality: being an all-in-one system allows heat pumps to filter the inside air all year-round.
  • Cheaper Air Conditioning: heat pumps can work more efficiently than most standard air conditioners, providing you with cooler air for less money.

When the time is right to replace your current heating and cooling system, a heat pump may be the right answer for you and your comfort needs. When used in the right environment, heat pumps are a great all-in-one system that can handle your year-round comfort needs easily.
