It maintains a very consistent comfort and uses minimal energy
When choosing a heating and cooling system for my home, environmental responsibility was a top priority. I wanted to find an energy-efficient and sustainable technology to minimize running costs and carbon footprint. After quite a bit of research, I decided on an electric heat pump. This innovative heating and cooling unit offers a wide array of benefits. Unlike conventional heating systems that generate heat by way of a combustion process, heat pumps operate by transferring existing heat from one place to another. During the winter months, the unit pulls ambient heat from the outdoor air and delivers it indoors. The process is clean, quiet and creates no greenhouse gasses, carbon monoxide or fumes. The operation is much less expensive than a gas-burning furnace. Plus, a heat pump provides both heating and cooling. A single unit handles year round temperature control. This dual functionality saves space and decreases maintenance requirements. The more advanced heat pumps offer the additional convenience of supplying hot water. While the initial purchase and installation of a heat pump is higher than a traditional heating or cooling unit, there’s only need to buy one system rather than two. The savings on utility bills helps to recover the investment very quickly. I chose a top-of-the-line heat pump that features adaptable-speed technology. The equipment automatically adjusts output to the demands of the home. Supplying only the precise amount of heating or cooling needed at any given time, the heat pump typically runs at lower speeds. It maintains a very consistent comfort and uses minimal energy. There are no unpleasant temperature fluctuations or hot/cold spots. I make sure to have the heat pump serviced twice per year to ensure reliability and longevity.
