Heat Pumps - Year-round Comfort

February 10, 2015

Is it really possible to be comfortable all year-long without a glitch in your heating and cooling system? It seems like a faraway possibility, especially in Erie. Choosing which comfort system is the one for you also impacts your wallet, so making the most up-to-date decision is critical to making your home comfortable in the long run.

There is a combined system that could be exactly what you’re searching for, and don’t let the title fool you into thinking it’s only for heating and not for cooling. Heat pumps are easy on the wallet and energy efficient and may be just what you’ve been searching for. In the cooling mode, heat pumps remove heat from inside the home just like an average air conditioner. However, in the heating mode, a heat pump reverses the procedure and removes heat from outdoor air to heat the indoors. Heat pumps can be the best solution to annual efficient heating and cooling because yes; it can do both! All it requires is to be installed and you’ll increase your energy efficiency immediately if you are replacing an older out-of-date system.

Let’s break it down. What are the main advantages to adding a heat pump in Erie?

  • Two appliances in one: Because a heat pump heats and cools you will not need different furnace and air conditioner.
  • Clean operation: heat pumps run on electricity and do not [[use|utilize|need[41] fossil fuels like natural gas or propane.

A heat pump may be the perfect answer for you and the ease of your home, especially if it’s time to exchange your current heating and cooling system. They are great all-in-one systems that, when used in the correct environment, will absolutely provide you with comfort all year long.
