Heat pumps are becoming increasingly popular with each passing year. Today, more than a million homes in the country have at least one heat pump.
Unlike other heating devices, a heat pump does not burn any fuel to generate heat.
The most significant benefit of heat pumps is that they provide high-efficiency cooling in summer and efficient heating in winter.
A heat pump is designed to work as an air conditioner in summer and a heater in winter. All you need to do is to adjust your thermostat to switch from one mode to another.
Here are some reasons to use heat pumps for heating and cooling in Napa.
Energy Efficiency
A heat pump does not generate heat. Instead, it transfers heat from one area of the house to another. Heat pumps have lower operating costs than many other heating and cooling devices. Installing, a heat pump can help reduce your heating costs by up to 50 percent.
An advanced source heat pump can even heat your water by utilizing integrated systems, helping you reduce your water bill. No wonder they are gaining popularity despite their higher upfront cost.
Safety
Heat pumps are safer than combustion-based heating systems as they do not use any fuel. With a heat pump, you do not have to worry about toxic gas leaks and combustion hazards. Plus, unlike most heating equipment, the exterior of a heat pump does not grow hot while it is operating.
Eco-friendly
A heat pump can help you reduce your carbon footprint. The electrical input of a heat pump is less than its output, allowing it to generate large amounts of heat with much less energy. Some water source heat pumps can reach up to 600 percent efficiency.
Unlike combustion-based systems such as gas and wood heaters, heat pumps do not produce harmful carbon emissions. Heat pumps are designed to both heat and cool homes, which means you don’t have to buy separate devices for heating and cooling.
Using a single device to heat and cool your home is one of the most effective ways to ensure that your home is being kept cozy as efficiently as possible.
Long-Lasting
With proper care and maintenance, a heat pump can last up to 15 years. Like all heating and cooling systems, proper and regular maintenance is key to efficient operation. An added benefit is that when scheduling maintenance for your heat pump, you only need to make one appointment rather than two for a heating unit and a cooling unit.
