When cold temperatures arrive, your heating system will likely be running more often than not. This time of year, most homeowners see an increase in their utility bills. While it is usually expected, it can be frustrating to have to dip deeper into your pocketbook. Increased utility costs are especially common if your system is older and inefficient.
Tired of seeing increased heating bills? Take action by finding newer, more energy efficient options. This isn’t just great for the environment, but it can keep your bill lower throughout the year. Keep reading about the benefits of installing a new heat pump for your home this year.
How does a heat pump work?
A ducted heat pump uses an outdoor unit that pulls heat from outside air and moves it inside. Even during the coldest days of winter, there is still heat in the air! The fans capture that warm air and deliver it via the ductwork in your home. The result: a warm and cozy interior! The same goes for summer days: when the weather is warm outside, the provides air conditioning – pulling the cool air inside during the hot summer days. One unit can provide year-round comfort with the use of your existing duct work! Wit just a touch of a button, you can switch from heating to cooling. This is a fantastic option for homes using old, inefficient heating or cooling systems.
Does it actually help you save money?
Because the heat pumps are EnergyStar® rated and crafted with energy efficiency in mind, you’ll use less energy than older, standard electric systems created 10, 15, or 20 years ago. This translates to saved money and a decrease in utility costs.
Are there other benefits?
You bet there are! Here are just a few:
- Year-round comfort: no matter what the weather decides to do outside, your one unit provides heating and cooling – for each season!
- Quiet: heat pumps work quietly, and most homeowners can’t even tell they’re running
- Better indoor air quality: heat pumps can assist in bringing cleaner air into your home, bolstering indoor air quality
- Better for the environment: because the system uses less energy, it’s great for the environment. Heat pumps also use less fossil fuels and help lower carbon dioxide emissions
