most economical way to keep your home comfortable year-round.Choosing an energy
efficient heat pump is the best purchase you can make for your home. In fact, a
heat pump is an ideal heating and cooling option for almost any building. Using
a heat pump and insulating your duct work will make a big impact on those heating & cooling bills.
How do Heat Pumps work?
A heat pump is basically an air
system with a reversing valve. These systems use electricity to move the heat
found naturally in the air or ground to keep your home or business comfortable
year-round.During the cooling season, a heat pump moves warm air out of your
home creating a cool indoor environment just like an air conditioner. During the
heating season, a heat pump extracts warm air from outside or beneath the ground
and moves it into your home.
