Consider the Benefits of a Heat Pump

Avon, OH suffers from cold winters and hot summers, and with spring currentlyย in full bloom, now is a good time to considering installing a new heating and air conditioning system inย your home. Heat pumps used to be a casual consideration at best: a combined heater and air conditioner that sometimes struggled during the cold fronts in the winter. But recent advances have improved its versatility considerably, and today it has become a smart choice for homeowners looking to improve their HVAC systemโ€™s efficiency.

How It Works

Have you ever gone outside while your air conditioner was running and noticed the hot air blowing out of the outdoor cabinet? Thatโ€™s part of the air conditionerโ€™s function: bleeding heat off of the refrigerant to reduce it to a liquid before moving it inside and shifting it back to a gas (pulling heat from the air in the process). A heat pump follows the same principles but with a twist: at the touch of a switch, you can reverse the flow of the refrigerant through the system. Hot air gets released into your home and cool air outside, letting the heat pump work as a heater just as effectively as an air conditioner.

The Advantages

Besides the convenience of combining a heater and an air conditioner into a single unit, the heat pump pays the biggest dividends during the winter.ย  Because it doesnโ€™t consume fuel to produce heatโ€”it just takes advantages of the renewable properties of the air conditioningโ€”it costs significantly less to run it than it does other forms of heating. As a result, monthly bills are lower and the system tends to suffer from less wear and tear since it doesnโ€™t need to work as hard as other types of heater.Call Westland Heating & Air Conditioning today to discuss your options with heat pumps.
