Not all Heat Pumps are Equal: Know the Facts Before Making a Purchase

Portland, OR (PRWEB) December 16, 2014

All heat pumps redistribute heat from one location to another and act as a center for temperature moderation. Rather than installing both a traditional furnace and air conditioner, homeowners can install a heat pump and use one unit to both cool down the home in the summer and keep the home warm in the winter.

Heat pumps are an excellent HVAC choice for moderate climatesregions that experience extreme temperatures will not benefit as much from a heat pump since the amount of energy it takes to convert one extreme temperature to another is significantly higher than transforming one moderate temperature to its opposite.

Because not all heat pumps perform their heating and cooling tasks in quite the same way, homeowners should select the unit that best fits their needs regarding size and cost:

Air-source heat pumps

Ground-source heat pumps

Selecting and installing a new heat pump system has the potential for significant savings for homeowners on their heating and cooling costsand those who opt to install a heat pump could be eligible for energy-efficient tax credits and utility rebates.
