Heat Pump FAQs
How Does A Heat Pump Work?
When it’s cold outside, a heat pump extracts heat from the ground or outside air and pumps it into the building, which in turn heats the interior. When it’s hot inside, a heat pump transfers the heat to the outdoors, which in turn cools the interior of the building.
Can A Heat Pump Replace My HVAC System?
Yes, heat pumps are very popular alternatives to HVAC systems for several reasons. They’re very efficient, so they heat or cool a home in less time than a conventional HVAC system. They’re often less expensive than a traditional HVAC unit. Since a heat pump provides both heating and cooling, you won’t need to purchase two units. Typically, a heat pump is more energy-efficient than an HVAC unit because it transfers heat rather than generating it.
How Can I Extend The Life Of My Heat Pump?
The best way to extend the life of your heat pump is with regular maintenance. At Allied Electric Heating & Electric, we provide heat pump maintenance plans that can keep your unit running at its best.
