How a House Heat Pump Functions

Unlike traditional furnaces and air conditioners, heat pumps use the existing air within your home to maintain a specific temperature. They do this by transferring heat in and out of your house. For example, in winter, the system draws energy from outdoors and brings it inside to provide heat. Then, in the summer, the entire process is reversed: The heat pump removes the heat energy inside your home and transfers it outdoors. Much like typical furnaces and air conditioners, the lifespan of a heat pump is approximately 15 years.

Benefits of Installing a House Heat Pump

Most people you know have a traditional furnace and air conditioner installed in their homes. So what are the benefits of installing a heat pump instead? The biggest one is the ability to take advantage of existing energy both inside and outside to heat or cool your home. It means you won’t have to rely on energy from fuel, which saves money and is better for the environment.

But heat pumps also have health benefits, too. They’re designed to improve air circulation while eliminating smoke, ashes, and moisture from your air—all of which can be irritating if you have respiratory sensitivities.

How Do You Know If a Heat Pump Is Right for You?

A heat pump can be installed in homes of any age, whether you have traditional ductwork or a ductless system. The exact type of heat pump you should purchase depends on the size and layout of your home. If you’re building a new house or your existing furnace or air conditioner is nearing the end of its life, a heat pump can be a worthwhile investment. It can provide efficient comfort and cost savings for years to come. In either case, you should rely on a professional recommendation to choose the perfect heat pump system for you.
