Heat pumps<\/span><\/a> are an excellent choice for saving money and reducing your home\u2019s greenhouse gasses. But there are a few things you should consider before choosing and purchasing one. Keep reading to learn more about your options.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Is a Heat Pump?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Heat pumps are part of your home\u2019s cooling and heating systems, and the pump goes outside the house. Similar to an air conditioner, it works to cool your home. At the same time, it also offers heat in the colder months. It takes heat from the chilly air outside and moves it inside. When it is hot out, it takes heat from the air inside to make the air colder.<\/span><\/p>\n

Electricity powers them, and they use a refrigerant to keep your home comfortable, no matter the weather. Since they both heat and cool your home, you might only need one climate control system.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you live in a <\/span>frigid<\/span><\/a> area, you might add a heat strip to the fan coil inside, so the system works better. Unlike gas or oil furnaces, a heat pump does not burn fossil fuel. That makes it a more environmentally sound choice. Also the heatpumps are more economical in electricity consumption vi sa vi electric furnace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Energy Usage<\/span><\/h2>\n

Heat pumps move heat from one location to the next and do not generate it with fossil fuels. That makes them much more efficient than any other source of heat, depending on what area you live in. If you install an energy efficient heatpump you might have much lower energy bills each year, so it might be an excellent investment if you plan to stay in your home for a while. Plus, heat pumps might increase your home\u2019s value when you do leave. You could end up saving or making a lot of money.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Much Energy Are You Using?<\/span><\/h2>\n

A heat pump can save money, but if you waste energy in other areas, the cost savings will not amount to much. Look over your ducts, doors, windows, walls, and the other regions to ensure they are not leaking air from your home. We always advise our clients to spend more money on insulating their homes.<\/span><\/p>\n

The best way to learn the answer to that question is to have an energy auditor or a home inspector to analyse your home. They can point out the deficiencies in your home and recommend you to fix them, so you do not spend money heating the outdoors..<\/span><\/p>\n

The Importance of Picking the Right Contractor<\/span><\/h2>\n

Do your research to find the right contractor. Get more than one estimate. Search for reviews for that contractor and ask for their references. The cheapest contractor is not always the best option.\u00a0 Ask contractors for any rebate programs in your area. Don\u2019t be afraid to ask questions so you can make a more informed decision.<\/span><\/p>\n

Closing Thoughts<\/span><\/h2>\n

It can be expensive to run your <\/span>home<\/span><\/a>, which is why you should try to save money where possible.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
