Is a Heat Pump Right for My Home?

Your Heat Pump Options

Heat pumps have been around for quite some time, however they are much more efficient and effective in modern times. You can actually live in just about any climate and enjoy the benefits from a good heat pump system. There are a few different types of heat pumps including air-source, water-source and ground-source systems. An air-source heat pump extracts thermal energy from the air and moves it into your home or extracts heat from your home and moves it outside for cooling purposes. This system is highly energy efficient and can provide heating in your home down to -5 degrees Fahrenheit with many systems.

If you want a heat pump that is even more energy efficient, you might be interested in a water-source or ground-source system which extracts thermal energy from stable temperatures underground or in a reliable water source such as a lake or ocean. Loops are installed in the ground or connected to the nearby water source to pull the thermal energy you need into your home, regardless of how extreme the winters can be. You can also use air-source heat pumps in extreme weather with the use of electric heating strips to allow your system to defrost when necessary to continue to operate without freezing.
