What are Heat Pumps, and Why Are They Efficient?
Heat pumps are all the rage in Texas, New Mexico, and other hot southern states. The main reason they’re so popular is because of their high-efficiency rating. This efficiency is because of how heat pumps cool your home.
Unlike traditional air conditioners that generate cool air using freon and electricity, heat pumps don’t do this. Instead, they simply separate cool air from hot air and transfer it into your home. During the winter months, they do the opposite and separate warm air from cool air to transfer it into your home.
Because this takes much less energy than generating hot and cold air out of nothing, heat pumps are highly efficient. Heat pumps also operate on 100% electricity, which is typically cheaper and more efficient than propane or natural gas heating and cooling systems.
Geothermal Heat Pumps
If you want to take efficiency to the next level, you can invest in a geothermal heat pump. These heating and cooling systems are a single unit and operate using many of the same principles as traditional heat pumps.
The major difference, however, is that they use water as their main source of heating and cooling rather than air. Because it’s even easier to remove hot or cold air from water than it isfrom the air, geothermal heat pumps are more efficient than traditional heat pumps.
Benefits of Heat Pumps
Regardless of which type of heat pump you choose, here are the benefits you’ll reap:
- Lower energy bills thanks to a more efficient heating and cooling system.
- With traditional heat pumps, you can opt for ductless mini-splits or a traditional ducted system.
- With geothermal heat pumps, there’s a single unit which means a lower price and fewer pieces to maintain.
- The ability to heat and cool your home with the same unit.
- Peace of mind knowing you’re reducing your carbon footprint.
