In fact, installing a new heat pump is a great way to enjoy a variety of benefits this new year from better energy efficiency to boosted indoor air quality. You can keep reading to learn why heat pumps are such a great choice for both heating and cooling. Then give our team a call when you’re ready to schedule your HVAC installation in Petersburg, IN.
Space-Saving Solution
One of the greatest advantages of a heat pump is its ability to offer both heating and cooling, eliminating the need for storing separate units. If you do have an AC and a separate heater, you have to dedicate closet space for two large units. Having a heat pump consolidates two down into one single unit. This makes a heat pump a particularly beneficial solution for homes that are smaller or don’t have a lot of storage space.
Lower Your Energy Costs
Heat pumps are well known for their higher overall energy efficiency, especially when you make the comparison to a traditional furnace. Instead of generating heat by burning fuel, or consuming electricity, a heat pump simply transfers heat from the outside into your home, ultimately using less energy in the process.
Here in our area, you want to be sure and select a cold-weather model so you have an extra boost for heating. If you go with a standard model then your home may not get as warm as you hope. You can also invest in a high-efficiency heat pump that uses less energy compared to the standard option to save even more.
Keep in mind that to maximize efficiency you need to keep up with regular maintenance – both on your own part and by investing in professional care. Our team should visit your home twice per year for heat pump maintenance if you want the best results.
Ductless Mini-Split Option
If you want to save even more space, you can take it a step further and eliminate the ductwork, too. Ductless mini splits are essentially heat pumps that don’t require ductwork. This solution consists of an outdoor unit that connects to small indoor units dispersed throughout the rooms of your home.
An added benefit of ductless mini-splits is that they are also highly versatile. These small units allow for temperature control in individual zones, meaning you can adjust the temperature in one room or area without changing the temperature in other rooms. This also offers the ability to save even more on energy costs because none of the heated or cooled air gets trapped or lost in ductwork.
