In today’s blog we’ll explore the numerous benefits of heat pump installation and the value of ongoing, regular service to help you get the most out of your new equipment.
But First Thing’s First - How Does A Heat Pump Work?
Heat pumps move heat rather than generate it. Your heat pump uses refrigerant that helps absorb heat at low temperatures from outside, which is then compressed, passed over a heat exchanger and dispersed throughout your home, increasing the warmth of your indoor air.
Heat pumps also have a cooling mode for year round comfort. In order to cool your home, the above process is reversed, and heat from your indoor air is absorbed, evaporated and pushed outdoors. Leaving you with cool, refreshing comfort.
The use of electricity instead of natural gas, combined with your heat pump’s dual-functionality helps boost its efficiency.
Different Heat Pumps For Different Needs
There are two main types of heat pumps on the market, air-source and ground-source.
For Edmonton’s climate, air-source is the way to go. It’s efficient and can come equipped with cold-climate options for when our temperatures drop past -15 degrees celsius.
Ground-source heat pumps operate in much the same way as air, but as the name suggests, they pull heat from the ground. They tend to be more expensive and installation is more intricate, making them a less popular option in our area.
At Always Plumbing & Heating we specialize in air-source heat pump installation, tune-up and repair service, so give our 5 Star Superstars a call today!
Heat Pump Installation - Energy Efficiency Benefits
Heat pumps typically use less energy compared to traditional heating and cooling systems. According to the Climate Institute, an air-source heat pump is up to 2-5X more efficient than a gas furnace allowing you to enjoy consistent comfort with minimal energy consumption.
Just like other home comfort systems you can easily determine your heat pump’s efficiency by looking at its SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) for cooling and its HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) for heating. The higher these ratings, the more efficient your new equipment will be.
Cost Savings Benefits
Heat pumps may come with a slightly higher upfront cost, but don’t let that dissuade you. Heat pumps can actually help Edmonton homeowners save money!
- Lower energy consumption translates into lower energy bills.
- Heat pumps typically come with lower maintenance costs in comparison to traditional heating and cooling systems.
- There are a number of rebate programs available for heat pump installation, including the Clean Energy Improvement Program, that help make investing in energy efficient heat pump options more accessible.
- Comprehensive financing options through our team help put heat pumps within reach with affordable monthly payments made to fit your schedule. Contact us today for more information.
Year-Round Comfort Benefits
Heat pumps offer dependable heating in the winter and constant cooling in the summer, making them a versatile option that’s perfect for Edmonton residents.
