Heat pumps are a valuable investment in your home. They work to provide both air conditioning and heating for the home. The cooling component of these systems works just like standard air conditioners in cooling air in the home. The heater component absorbs heat from the outside area and then transfers it indoors to warm things up.
While this is a unique system, you might still wonder what really makes them worth your investment. We’ll give you four great reasons to consider adding a heat pump in Sugar Land.
4 Facts About Heat Pumps That You’ll Love
Depending on your home and your budget, you may find that heat pumps are an excellent choice. Talk to a technician about how they may help you and take these benefits into consideration too.
1. They are highly energy efficient
Heat pumps are known for offering highly energy-efficient operation. This is helpful in the summer when cooling the home but truly helpful when it comes to heating in the winter. This is because instead of creating heat through combustion, they move heat into the house. Heat pumps are far more efficient than a gas-fueled combustion system, and they are also better for the environment than other systems too.
2. They are highly effective
Today’s systems are very easy to use and work well to cool a home. A heat pump is going to be just as effective, if not more so, than the usual central AC. For many reasons, they are a better option because of how easy they are to use.
3. They take up less space
Another benefit of the heat pump is that it does not take up as much space as a typical furnace and air conditioner. Instead of taking up space in your home on the floor or in a basement, the air handler is placed on the upper portion of a wall. They are typically out of the way as a result, making them easier to use when you do not have a lot of floor space to dedicate to them. What’s more, you have this one system serving two jobs!
4. They can be ducted or ductless
Another factor to consider is that they can be used through your existing ductwork, or if you do not have ductwork, they can be used without ducts. This is important because, in homes without ductwork, the investment to add ductwork in it can be expensive, especially because it typically requires a lot of changes.
Still unsure if they are right for you? Remember these benefits:
- Heat pumps are able to use less power to operate, and they do not use fuel in the same way as other systems.
- They tend to be the ideal choice for green living and those who want less environmentally impactful homes. They even work well with solar panel systems.
- They tend to be more affordable to in the long term than other systems, helping to offset the installation costs.
If you are unsure if a heat pump is right for you, set up a consultation to have a licensed technician come to you for an estimate. You’ll learn how easy it can be to install them and just how much comfort they can offer to your home.
