Looking to combine your heating and cooling needs in one unit? Ask us about heat pumps and if a energy saving heat pump would be right for your location. Heat pumps are a two-for-one HVAC system; these units provide heat in the winter and cool air in the summer. When it’s cold outside, the heat pump extracts the outside heat and transfers it indoors. During the warmer seasons, the heat pump removes heat from the indoors. Basically, these units consist of an outdoor unit similar to an air conditioner and an indoor unit called an air handler. The compressor circulates refrigerant that absorbs heat and releases it between the outdoor and indoor units. One of the main advantages of a heat pump is that is moves heat instead of generating heat. This creates more energy efficiency when compared to traditional HVAC systems.
