Why Use a Heat Pump This Winter?
Let me start out by saying there are many advantages to using heat pump system. Most of us don’t even know what a heat pump system is and how you can use it to your advantage. In this article you will learn how the heat pump system produces more heat, more efficiently. I will be going over how the heat pump system works and the types of heat pump systems that are available on the market today.
A heat pump is basically an electrical cooling and heating system today compresses and decompresses gas in order to warm or cool down a house. It takes the cool air from one location and heats the air up to provide warm air. This system can also be reversed to provide cold air.
The heat pump is just like an air-conditioning unit but only the opposite. Instead of the outside being hot and the inside being cool, the outside is cool in the inside is hot, thus providing heat for your house.
The only disadvantage I can see to having a heat pump is that it is all electric and in some cases will increase your electric bill, but this will save you tons of money on the gas bill. So if your home is all electric, it is a good idea to own one of these puppies.
It is very important to choose the right size heat pump because they come in all shapes and sizes. A normal house uses a three – five ton unit to heat and cool the entire home. It is suggested that you shop around to look for the best price. Indeed a heat pump will certainly payoff over time.
There are two main types of heating systems that are for residential use. You have the ground source heat pumps, these save more energy than the other type of heating pump. The other advantage to ground source pumps is that they don’t put out as much carbon dioxide. The other type of heat pump is the the air source pump, this one consumes much more energy.
Well there you have it, if your interested in saving money this year and heating your home without paying an arm and a leg to do it, this should do the trick!
