Get Your Money’s Worth: Things to Look for in a Heat Pump Installer

                               

Heat pumps are the best choice for heating or cooling your home. It is very cost effective since it serves a dual purpose while using less energy. Unlike air conditioners that create cold, heat pumps don’t need to produce heat; they just use a small amount of energy to move heat from indoors to outdoors.Heat pumps extract heat from the outside air, which is warmed by the sun’s energy every day of the year, and transfer it into the house. In cooling mode, heat pumps transfer heat from inside to the outside just like your fridge does.

Like air conditioners, heat pumps are also installed outside your home and are then connected to your existing furnace, air handler or electric baseboard system.

Heat pumps offer more advantages than traditional furnaces or air conditioners. They are more efficient as they only use only a small amount of electricity to reverse the natural flow of heat or cool. Both the heat and cooling produced by pump systems are less intense than other methods, meaning you won't experience a sudden surge of heat or blast of cold.
