What is a heat pump?
A heat pump is a device that transfers heat from one source to another. Heat pumps are basically refrigeration systems that help keep your room warm or cool, depending on your needs. A heat pump does not create heat, but instead extracts it from the outside (or inside) and moves it from one area to another.
What use is a heat pump to me?
Heat pumps are a great alternative heat/cool source. A heat pump can help lower your heating and cooling bill year-round. If you are using an electric heating system, a heat pump may be beneficial for you to stay comfortable while keeping energy costs low.
Heat pumps, since they run on electricity, don’t produce carbon monoxide. You can run a heat pump all day and not worry about CO poisoning. Heat pumps don’t require fossil fuels (oil, propane, natural gas, etc.) to operate, so there’s never a need to watch a fuel gauge or call for regular fill ups. Furthermore, high efficiency heat pumps can reduce your “carbon footprint”, making a cleaner world for everyone!
Heat pumps are generally as reliable as using a refrigerator. Another great thing about heat pumps is that you don’t necessarily need an air conditioner if you purchase and install a heat pump, as the heat pump can act as the air conditioner in the summer! Sounds great, right?
