Why Choose a Heat Pump to Cool & Heat Your Home?

There are several advantages to using a heat pump for home comfort.

• Energy savings– Heat pumps typically offer greater energy efficiency over furnaces and air conditioners, because they move heat rather than use fuel to produce heat.
• Money savings – Since heat pumps use less energy, your utility bills will likely drop, saving you money over the life of the unit.
• Better indoor humidity – Electric heat pumps do not generate dry air; therefore your home will maintain an even humidity level during winter.
• Lighter impact on the environment – Electric heat pumps don’t produce pollution since they do not burn fuel.

How Do Heat Pumps Work?

During the winter, heat pumps transfer heat from the outside air into your home via refrigerant lines and a compressor. During hot weather, the system is reversed to cool your home by moving heat from the inside out. This ingenious design allows you to have just one system for heating and cooling!

Do Heat Pumps Save Energy?

Yes! Heat pumps are renowned for their energy efficiency. Since they don’t create heat—they just move it—heat pumps cangenerate up to three times more heat than the energy they use. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that heat pumps can cut your use of electricity for heat by up to half.

How is Heat Pump Efficiency Measured?

Because heat pumps act as both air conditioners and heaters, they are subject to two different energy efficiency rating systems: the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER) and the Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF). Higher ratings meanhigher efficiency. Carrier heat pumps range from 13 to 20.5 SEER and 7.7 to 13 HSPF.

How Much Do Heat Pumps Cost?

Heat pumps are typically more expensive to purchase than traditional heating and cooling systems. However, using a heat pump for home comfort will save you money on your energy bills over its lifetime. Moreover, heat pumps aredependable, and long lasting, with anaverage lifespan of 15 years or more when properly installed and maintained.
