Heat Pump Systems
As we mentioned in our previous articles, heat pump systems are perfect for saving money. It uses energy in the most efficient way. For this reason, interest in heat pumps is increasing day by day. However, since electric heaters and air conditioners are more familiar to people, they do not know much about heat pumps. Our goal in preparing this buying guide is to make you more familiar with the heat pump, which will significantly reduce your energy bill.
Similar to an air conditioner, heat pump systems use the principles of refrigeration rather than fuel for both heating and cooling. In cooling mode, it works almost like an air conditioner, extracting heat from inside and expelling it outdoors. However, when switched to heating mode, this process is reversed and warm air is literally dragged away. You can read our articles on how a heat pump works and the cost of a heat pump to get more detailed information.
Are Heat Pump Systems Suitable for Your Home?
Reduction in your heat pump energy bills We said it would provide, but this depends on some factors. These factors include your location's climate, the type of fuel common in your area, and the insulation and other energy efficiency features in your home.
Truth be told, heat pumps are not perfect for very cold climates. They are most effective when saving energy in heating mode. However, in cold climates, the home requires more heating as its temperature drops below the temperature outside; However, the heat pump operates less efficiently at low outdoor temperatures. Below a temperature called the “equilibrium point,” which normally ranges from 30 to 45 degrees F (-1 to 7 degrees), additional heat is required, meaning that electrical heating begins.
But here's the thing. It is true that if you use an electric heater or coal, you can get 1 or 2 and a half times more heat with a heat pump for the same money. For this reason, it is useful to make an analysis before deciding to buy a heat pump. Which one is more suitable for me? Natural gas, air conditioner, electric heater or heat pump. Also, what is the condition of your home's insulation system? Are electrical ducts suitable for a heat pump? How much will you save on your energy bills? We do all these analyzes together with you and tell you the most suitable one. For this, just contact us.
After you decide to buy a heat pump, you will be faced with the question of which is the most suitable heat pump. What makes one heat pump more efficient than another? The answer is that they have a variety of options that use advanced technology to heat and distribute air. For example, the most efficient heat pumps have variable capacity controls. Rather than having the system run at full capacity at all times, these controls coordinate the compressor to adapt to your home's heating and cooling load needs at a given time. Because they rarely run at full speed, heat pumps are quieter, not to mention saving you money for long periods of time.
