With so many heating options to choose from, how do you know what the best heat pump solution is for your Trinity, Florida, home? Heat pumps are perfect for milder climates and they can be used for heating and cooling. Let’s learn what heat pumps do and take a look at a few different kinds that may be the perfect solution for your home.
What Does a Heat Pump Do?
Heat pumps are designed to heat and cool in areas that have milder climates and do not use natural gas. Heat pumps are different from furnaces. A furnace needs energy to create heat, while a heat pump uses energy to move or transfer heat. Air-source heat pumps pull warm air from the outside into your home to heat it. This process reverses in the summer, pulling warm indoor air to the outside to cool your home. Heat pumps are incredibly energy efficient and can help you save money on your energy bills.
Variable Speed Heat Pumps
One of the most efficient heat pumps for your home is a variable speed pump. As the name implies, the speed of the compressor, outdoor fan, and indoor fan vary as the temperature outside changes. The pump will slow down or speed up gradually by small increments to keep the temperature from fluctuating and avoiding large temperature swings in your home.
Single-Stage or Two-Stage Heat Pumps
If you are heating or cooling a smaller space, then a single-stage or a two-stage system would be a good option. This type of heat pump runs in a single setting or two settings. When combined with an Energy Star model with a high SEER rating, they are very energy efficient. These heat pumps can be used in conjunction with your HVAC system or ductless mini-split for all of your heating and cooling needs.
