If you are thinking about switching your heating and cooling system, installing a heat pump is a great way to effectively heat and cool your home while providing you with year-round savings. Unlike some heating and cooling systems that create heat, a heat pump works by redistributing heat from the air or ground from one location to another. In the summer months, your heat pump will remove the heat from inside the home and expel it outside, cooling and dehumidifying your space. In the winter months, the process is reversed and heat is absorbed from the outside, compressed and concentrated, and then sent into your home to warm the house and provide comfort. Even if the weather is cold, the heat pump can pull heat from the ground and the sun, however when it falls below 35-45 degrees, the heat pump does have to work harder. Heat pumps are normally very efficient systems, but they become less efficient in extremely cold air temperatures. 

Heat Pump Maintenance

While heat pumps can be extremely efficient systems and save you money on your utility bills, it is crucial to keep up with regular maintenance to allow them to operate at peak performance. 

HYBRID HEAT

A HYBRID HEAT dual fuel system uses the strengths of two separate heating sources to create a hybrid system. HYBRID HEAT combines the incredible efficiency of a heat pump at mild winter temperatures, with the necessary BTU (British Thermal Units) output of a gas furnace when the temperature drops to extreme lows. This unique system gives you more control over your monthly utility bills because of the ability to select the most efficient heating source for the weather. Once the system is set, your HYBRID HEAT dual fuel system will automatically switch back and forth between the two sources to maintain your comfort and continue to save you money on your bills.
