Why should you install a heat pump?

Heat pumps are efficient because they don’t burn fuel to create heat. Instead, they use the principles of an air conditioner in both the summer (when they function as air conditioners) and in the winter. When you install a new heat pump, you could see:

  • Increased energy efficiency
  • Lower energy bills
  • Fewer repairs and maintenance issues in the near future
  • Lower noise levels
  • More even room temperatures
  • And more!

How do they do this? Air conditioners don’t actually produce cool air—instead, they remove heat from hot summer air and then blow the air back into your home (this is why the air around your compressor always feels so hot). In the winter, heat pumps do the same thing, but in reverse—they pull heat from the outside air and use that to heat the air in your home. This transfer of heat allows them to effectively heat your home without burning fuel—doesn’t get any more efficient than that!

How do heat pumps work when it gets really cold?

We get this question all the time, and it’s no surprise really—after all, it’s hard to imagine that there’s any heat in the air when the outside temperature is 40 F or below. But think about this—how cold can your refrigerator get? Pretty cold, right? Refrigerators work like mini heat pumps, pulling out heat energy even when it seems really cold in the fridge already.

Your heat pump operates the same way. Just because it doesn’t FEEL warm outside doesn’t mean there isn’t heat in the air (unless the temperature gets to absolute zero: -460F), and a heat pump can pull that heat out and blow it into your home. In fact, most heat pumps have an operating range as low as 25 F!

Best of all, heat pump technology is improving every day! Many modern heat pumps include what are known as Reverse Cycle Chillers (RCCs), which eliminate the periodic blowing of cool air that most heat pumps go through during their defrost cycles. RCCs also allow heat pumps to operate at much lower temperatures—in fact, some RCCs can provide hot water at 115 F even when it’s 15 F outside!

If you live in Maryland, Virginia, or Washington, DC and are tired of paying too much on your monthly energy bills, call Michael Bonsby HVAC, Plumbing & Electrical. We can provide you with quality heat pump installation to keep you warm for less!

Heat Pump Installation FAQs

With so many different heat pump options available, there is a heat pump to meet every need:

Single-split ductless heat pumps – with one indoor unit and one outdoor unit, single-split ductless heat pumps are suitable for an individual room

Multi-split ductless heat pumps – with multiple indoor units connected to one outdoor unit, multi-split ductless heat pumps are best for heating and cooling multiple rooms.

Ducted heat pumps – with one outdoor unit connected to one or more concealed indoor units, ducted heat pumps distribute heat via ducting tubes to individual rooms. Ducted heat pumps are best for heating the whole home.

That will depend on the complexity of the job. Installing the heat pump itself may take as little as 4 to 6 hours, or one working day. More time will be needed if old equipment must be removed, if air ducts must be installed or replaced, or if the installation is extraordinarily complex.

Most heat pumps will last 12 to 15 years, or even longer with excellent maintenance.
