Heat Pumps Are the Energy-Efficient Alternative to Furnaces

While furnaces are the go-to heating option for most homeowners, there are other options. One of the most energy-efficient and easy-to-install choices are heat pumps. While they’re not as common as they once were, heat pumps are still a good choice for homeowners who don’t want to install a furnace – or deal with the high energy costs often associated with these units.

How Heat Pumps Work

Heat pumps move heat from one area to another. Since a heat pump simply moves around hot air, it can be used all year round: providing warmth in the winter and cooling in the summer. It can also be used as a dehumidifier.

These devices obtain heat from the outside air, the earth or an underground body of water to warm your home. In the summer, a heat pump can extract warm air from the rooms that you are using to make them cooler. This is one of the major advantages of these systems: you don’t need a separate furnace and AC unit. Instead, everything is combined into a single unit. Heat pumps are extremely energy-efficient since they simply move around warm air as opposed to creating it by burning fuel.

You might need an additional heat source if you choose to use a heat pump, but the experts at Gold River Mechanical can work with you to determine the best options for your home.
