Energy Efficiency FAQ

What Are The Different Types Of Heat Pumps?

Understanding Heat Pump Types: Air-Source, Water-Source, and Geothermal

There are three primary types of heat pumps: air-source, water-source, and ground-source, also known as geothermal heat pumps. Here’s how they differ:
  • Air-Source Heat Pumps: These systems, also called air-to-air, are cost-effective to install and perform efficiently in moderate climates. They utilize the outside air to heat and cool your home and are available in both ducted and ductless configurations.
  • Water-Source Heat Pumps: These pumps use water as their medium for heating and cooling. They require access to a water body, like a well or lake, to function effectively.
  • Ground-Source (Geothermal) Heat Pumps: These systems harness thermal energy from the ground, offering a more energy-efficient operation due to the stable underground temperatures. While they provide excellent efficiency, they involve higher installation costs and complexity due to the need for excavation and underground piping.
 
What Are Mini-Split Heat Pumps?

Mini-split heat pumps operate similarly to air-source heat pumps by using electricity to circulate refrigerant, transferring heat between spaces. Unlike traditional systems, mini-splits deliver air directly into specific zones within a home, allowing for targeted climate control.

How Do Mini-Splits Differ From Traditional Heat Pumps?

Traditional heat pumps distribute air through a network of ducts, channelling heated or cooled air from a central unit to vents in each room. In contrast, mini-split systems are ductless, featuring indoor units strategically placed throughout the home, all connected to a single outdoor unit. This design provides a more flexible and localized approach to heating and cooling, enhancing efficiency and comfort.

Are Heat Pumps Only for Heating, Not Cooling?
This is a common misconception. Heat pumps are designed to both heat and cool your home by transferring heat rather than generating it. In cooling mode, they extract heat from the indoors and expel it outside, effectively cooling your living space. During heating, the process is reversed, drawing heat from the outside to warm your home. By efficiently moving heat rather than creating it, heat pumps offer a cost-effective, year-round solution for maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures.
Do You Have To Clean a Heat Pump?
Yes, maintaining your heat pump is crucial for optimal performance. Be sure to clean or replace the filters monthly, or as needed, and keep the exterior of the unit and the area around the coils free from dirt and debris to ensure unobstructed airflow. For comprehensive care, we recommend scheduling regular maintenance with our HVAC specialists. While an annual check-up is advisable, having our experts inspect your system twice a year—once in the spring and once in the fall—can help ensure your heat pump operates efficiently year-round.
 
Can A Heat Pump Replace A Furnace?...

Yes, a heat pump can replace a furnace, especially in areas with affordable electricity. If your home is well-insulated and you're updating your HVAC system, a heat pump is an energy-efficient, eco-friendly choice that can lower your energy bills. Consider inverter heat pumps for steady temperatures without frequent cycling.
