Top Three Reasons to Install a Heat Pump

By Kelly Drill | August 13, 2009

Why Installing a Heat Pump is Important

  1. A heat pump provides superior comfort, keeping air quality, humidity and temperature consistent throughout your house. By taking heat from the air, water, or ground outside and simply moving it inside, a heat pump creates a warm, comfortable environment in every room in your home. In the summer, the heat pump acts as an air conditioner, forcing warm indoor air to flow outside, keeping the inside of your home cool.
  2. Because a heat pump doesn’t burn fuel to operate, it is safer and cleaner than a gas furnace. Unlike a gas furnace, a heat pump does not release harmful gases like carbon monoxide, and therefore doesn’t need to be vented. This eliminates the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and helps you to reduce your carbon footprint.
  3. A heat pump can greatly reduce your heating and cooling costs. In fact, your heating cost can be reduced by as much as 50% by installing the right heat pump for your home. By capturing naturally-occurring heat in the winter and pumping it into your home, a heat pump consumes far less energy than a system that converts energy into heat. In the summer, heat pumps operate much more efficiently than air conditioners and can significantly lower your cooling bills.
