Complete Heat Pump Solutions for Every Home
If you’re looking for an energy-efficient heating or cooling unit for your home, a heat pump should be at the top of your list. These units have efficiency ratings that far outstretch any other type of unit on the market today. These units offer both home cooling and heating capabilities for all year-round comfort.
These systems come with three main components. First is the indoor air handler unit that’s responsible for circulating air throughout your home. With a standard heat pump, you’ll have one air handler unit. With a ductless mini-split system, you’ll have multiple units. Second is an outdoor condenser unit that’s responsible for circulating refrigerant between the indoor and outdoor units. Lastly, there are refrigerant lines that hold the circulating refrigerant.
Here are the many advantages of heat pumps.
- Lower energy bills
- Clean system operation
- No fuel storage necessary
- Tax incentives and utility rebates
- Better indoor air quality
- Consistent comfort
If a heat pump is the perfect choice for your home, our technicians can help you find the ideal unit to meet your specific needs and budget. Our technicians will thoroughly assess your home to determine your heating and cooling needs throughout the year. This will allow us to choose an appropriately sized unit to ensure efficient system operation. We always offer free estimates and have financing upon approved credit for all our valued clients.
We offer both standard systems that use ducting and ductless mini-split systems. If your home already has existing ducting from a furnace, then a standard heat pump can be an ideal choice. However, if your home lacks ductwork, then a ductless mini-split system can be the clear winner. This can let you enjoy both heating and air conditioning without the large expense of putting ducting into your already established home.
When opting to go with a ductless mini-split system, each indoor air handler unit must be sized to the room it goes in. This means if your living room is larger than your bedroom, your living room will need a larger unit. Our team will assess each room and determine the appropriate size indoor air handler unit for it.
When selecting a unit, efficiency is a key consideration. Each heat pump will have a SEER2 rating and an HSPF rating. SEER2 stands for seasonal energy-efficiency ratio 2 and describes the cooling efficiency of the unit. HSPF stands for heating service performance factor and describes the heating efficiency of the system.
The higher the SEER2 or HSPF rating, the more energy-efficient that unit will be. Choosing units with efficiencies that meet the minimum standards for tax credit eligibility and utility credits is necessary. This will maximize the amount of money you can recoup on the upfront cost of your new HVAC system.
Professional Heat Pump Repair and Maintenance
Routine maintenance is one of the best things you can do to extend the longevity of your heat pump system. We recommend our professional servicing in the early spring to prepare for summer and in the early fall to prepare for winter. This service not only maintains the warranty coverage on your unit but also ensures energy-efficient operation.
This way, you can have the peace of mind that you’re not overpaying for your heating and cooling bills throughout the year. Even better, our routine inspections are great for catching problems with your unit while they’re small and fairly affordable to repair. Plus, these tune-up services go a long way in greatly reducing your risk of experiencing a system malfunction in the near future. You can even learn how much longer your system is likely to last. This will give you adequate time to prepare for a replacement at a time that’s convenient for you.
It’s perfectly normal for every heat pump to experience a malfunction from time to time. What’s most important is to contact us as soon as you notice something is out of the norm with your system. You never want to keep using your heat pump when it has a problem, as doing so could lead to more internal system damage.
It’s important to be mindful of the key indicators of a system malfunction. Sometimes the indicator may be something subtle, like an odd noise or a weird smell coming from your unit. However, in other cases, the issue may be more prominent. For example, your unit may not start up at all or may sit there and short-cycle.
