Garland Heat Pump Installation
Heat pumps are a type of HVAC unit that uses only electricity to heat and cool a house. However, unlike electric furnaces, they don’t cost a fortune when running in heating mode. That’s because heat pumps harvest already-existing heat energy in the outdoor air to warm your home. They do so by reversing the refrigeration cycle that powers a conventional AC. That allows heat pumps to achieve energy efficiencies in heating mode that no other system can.
In mild weather, heat pumps can often reach 400% efficiency. That’s four times as efficient as an electric furnace and even more than four times what a gas furnace achieves. Even as the mercury drops, heat pumps will outperform the average furnace down to about 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat pumps are also no slouch in cooling mode. You can expect one to offer energy efficiency similar to today’s top-performing conventional central ACs.
A heat pump installation can deliver some worthwhile benefits.
- Safer year-round operation
- Reduced environmental impact
- Reduced operating costs
- Eligible for incentives and rebates
- Improved indoor air quality
Our HVAC technicians are also qualified to provide heat pump repair for any make or model. Since heat pumps operate year-round, they suffer the same wear and tear as an air conditioner and furnace combined.
And although today’s heat pumps are highly reliable, they can occasionally break down. Your first hint of a problem may be a spike in your system’s energy use. Or, you might hear unusual sounds coming from one of your heat pump’s components. Whatever the problem, our experts will find it and fix it fast.
