Building a new home includes countless decisions, and at some point, you may feel all shopped out from choosing wall colors, flooring, tiles, hardware, and more. However, one of the most important decisions a new homeowner can make is choosing a quality heating and cooling system. To help you navigate the process of weighing your heat pump options, the experienced professionals at Atomatic Mechanical Services INC. can help you understand which system will work best for your needs and budget.
Heat pumps are a natural choice when it comes to heating and cooling your home because they heat and cool efficiently and are environmentally friendly, too. Whether you are doing a new installation or shopping for an upgrade to your current HVAC system, you can talk to your local experts at Atomatic Mechanical Systems INC. to learn about the advantages of a heat pump system and find the perfect heating and cooling solution for your home.
New Heat Pump Benefits
Purchasing a new heat pump includes a variety of comfort and cost-saving benefits. Here are just a few advantages to consider:
Comfort and Convenience in One Unit
Heat pumps are designed with your comfort and ease of use in mind. They are made to easily increase or decrease the temperature and switch between heating and cooling settings. Once the desired temperature is reached, the heat pump system can maintain your comfort level for as long as needed. Going out or on vacation? Leave your heat pump running, and it won’t cost you much to return home to a comfy house.
Energy Efficiency
Heat pumps have an advantage over traditional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units because it’s no longer necessary to install separate systems to heat and cool the home. Heat pumps transfer heat from one place to another which makes them more efficient than burning fuel to create it. Heating and cooling more efficiently is good news for your wallet, too, as you can expect your energy bills to decrease.
Automatically Dehumidifies
During the warmer months, your heat pump will not only cool your home but also performs the function of dehumidifying the air. This feature adds to your indoor comfort level, especially on hot and humid days.
Improves Air Quality
Because the heat pump is powered by electricity, you won’t have to worry about smoke or unpleasant fumes caused by a conventional heating and cooling system powered by fossil fuels. In addition, the filters on a heat pump can remove mold spores, dust, smoke, and harmful allergens from circulating air and essentially help your family breathe cleaner, healthier air.
How Does a Heat Pump Cool and Heat?
A heat pump is placed outside the home and is similar to an air conditioner, but it also heats the home. A heat pump moves heat energy found in the air and then transfers it from one location to another. When it’s cold inside a home, the heat pump transfers the heat energy from the cold outside air to warm the inside of your home. When it’s hot indoors, the heat pump pulls out the indoor heat energy to cool the home. Powered by electricity, a heat pump transfers heat by using a refrigerant.
Traditional HVAC systems like furnaces or boilers rely on natural gas to generate heat in a home. This burns fossil fuels can is not as environmentally friendly. Your new heat pump can be fitted to your current duct system, or when paired with ductless mini-splits, you can give each room or zone in your home customizable controls. This is becoming a popular option for people building new homes or for those who are remodeling very old homes without existing ductwork.
