Treat Yourself With a Heat Pump This Fall

While you got your fill of tricks and treats over the weekend, we are hoping that you’ve still got room for one more (a treat, that is!) Heat pumps are the ultimate fall treat, as they are super efficient, effective, and have the ability to provide year-round comfort with just the flip of a switch (yes, you’re right — this one sounds like more of a trick, but it’s true! We swear!)

There are plenty of reasons to get excited about heat pumps, and below, we have listed some of them for you. All you’ve got to do is keep reading to find out more (oh, and of course, remember to schedule your heating services in Mooresville, NC with our team.)

What Is a Heat Pump?

A heat pump works much like a traditional air conditioner, relying on the flow of refrigerant to transfer heat from one place to another. But what makes the difference between a standard AC and a heat pump is the reversing valve, which is used to reverse the direction the refrigerant flows through the system.

“Why would anyone want to do that?” you ask. It is because reversing the flow of refrigerant through the system allows for home heating in addition to cooling. That’s right: with just one system, you can both heat and cool your home!

What Are the Benefits?

There are plenty of benefits to installing a heat pump in your home, including:

  • Better Efficiency: Heat pumps are one of the most energy-efficient HVAC systems on the market today. This is because they do not generate their own heat, but rather move it from one place to another. Switching to a heat pump is a great way to conserve energy and cut back on monthly spending.
  • Versatility: With just the flip of a switch, you’ll be able to enjoy year-round comfort! The reversing valve allows you to switch between “heating mode” and “cooling mode”, so no matter the temperature outside, you’ll be nice and comfortable inside!
  • Cost and Convenience: When you invest in a heat pump, you will no longer have to worry about the cost of maintaining two different HVAC systems, as a heat pump eliminates the need to own both an air conditioner and a heater.

Ask a Professional!

If you are interested in having a heat pump installed in your home, ask an HVAC professional if its the right choice for you! Only a professional has the tools, knowledge, and expertise to match you with the system that is going to best meet your unique comfort and budget needs.

You want to be absolutely sure that the system you install is going to keep you and your family nice and comfortable all year long, and hiring a professional for your installation services is the best way to do just that. Trust us, when it comes to your comfort and your budget, you don’t want to take any risks!
