Considering a Heat Pump?
Here’s What Homeowners Should Know.
Heat pumps have become increasingly popular, and today’s models can provide efficient heating and cooling. But that doesn’t mean every heat pump is the right choice for every home.
Because a heat pump handles both heating and cooling, it can operate throughout the year. And when outdoor temperatures drop, heating capacity and efficiency can decrease. Depending on the equipment and conditions, supplemental electric resistance heat may be used to help maintain indoor comfort. That type of auxiliary heat can use significantly more electricity than the heat pump itself.
That’s why proper equipment selection, sizing, installation and maintenance matter. Cold-climate heat pumps are specifically designed to maintain better performance at low temperatures, while other systems may be better suited to different homes and heating needs.
And with a system providing both heating and cooling, professional maintenance is especially important for keeping everything operating efficiently and reliably year-round.
Before you replace your HVAC system, don’t choose based on the equipment alone.
