Welcome to the World of Heat Pumps
Discover the benefits of heat pumps, from energy efficiency and lower operating costs to the convenience of one system that both heats and cools your home.
More homeowners are discovering what a heat pump can do for their homes. If you are on the fence about making the switch, learning about the advantages can help you decide. A heat pump offers efficiency, convenience and year-round comfort from a single system.
Your Heat Pump Can Save You Money
Heat pumps move heat rather than creating it by burning fuel, so they can use less energy than many traditional heating systems. That can mean lower operating costs once the new system is installed, and lower energy use also helps reduce your home's carbon footprint.
Heat Pumps Also Provide Cooling
You can use your heat pump during the warm months, too. By reversing the flow of refrigerant, the system moves heat out of your home instead of into it. Switching from heating to cooling is usually as simple as changing the thermostat setting.
It is a good idea to schedule a tune-up before each heating and cooling season. Your technician can check electrical connections, clean the coils, inspect moving parts and confirm the system is operating correctly. This helps your heat pump stay efficient all year.
Your Family May Enjoy Better Indoor Air Quality
A traditional furnace burns fuel to generate heat, so it relies on safe combustion and venting. A heat pump uses electricity to move heat, with no combustion in the home, which removes that source of fumes.
Many heat pump systems can also be paired with air filtration and purification equipment that captures more pollutants and allergens before air is circulated through your home.
A Heat Pump Can Reduce Wear
A correctly sized, well-maintained heat pump runs efficiently, which helps limit wear and tear. Inverter models adjust their output to match demand rather than switching fully on and off, which is gentler on the equipment. For many homeowners in Burlington County, dual-fuel systems that pair a heat pump with a gas furnace are also worth considering.
