Heat Pumps
Heat pumps help achieve total home climate control and comfort. They look and perform like air conditioners, only they can also heat your home. Using electricity as an energy source rather than heating fuels, heat pumps extract heat from the air to keep you cool during the summer, warm in the winter and comfortable all year long.
The biggest difference between heat pumps and other heating systems is that they move heat rather than create it. There are different types of heat pumps, such as geothermal and water, but the most common are air-sourced. Air heat pumps can come as split systems, package units or mini-split ductless systems.
What Are The Benefits of Heat Pumps?
- Help reduce heating costs by as much as 40%
- Quiet operation
- Longer equipment lifespan
- Less use of fossil and alternative fuels
- Dehumidify, resulting in better air quality
- Lower the need for fuel during winter in homes that use furnaces as backup systems
- Work efficiently with other home heating systems
Proper maintenance of heat pumps ensures maximum efficiency and performance. This includes cleaning and annual tune ups to ensure all parts are functioning properly, as well as changing the filters monthly. When components go too long without cleaning or maintenance, it can lead to the following:
- Restricted air flow
- Increased safety hazards
- Raised energy costs
- Decreased performance
- Shortened unit lifespan
- Compressor damage
- Costly repairs
At SMO Energy, our goal is to ensure that your family doesn’t experience those increased costs or long-term damage to your heating and cooling system.
Repair or Replace?
In some cases, it makes more sense to replace a heat pump rather than repair it. For example, if a major part is damaged, such as the reversing valve or compressor, or if the need for repairs is becoming more frequent.If you’re looking for a heat pump replacement, our experienced energy consultants can help.
