Are you looking for a way to save money on your energy costs? Have you considered installing a heat pump in your home? If so, our professional crew is here to help. A heat pump is a great alternative to combustion-based systems and provides many benefits that will make your life as a homeowner much easier. At Fry Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning Corp., our skilled and knowledgeable team will assist you in making the switch to a better heating and cooling system.
A heat pump is an integral part of your heating and cooling system. It is usually installed on the outside of your home and can provide both cooling and heating, depending on the season. During the winter months, your heat pump can pull in the cold outdoor air and transfer it into warmer air for your indoors. Typically heat pumps are powered by electricity and use refrigerant to transfer the heat. It’s important to note that heat pumps don’t create the heat, they simply redistribute it. There are two common types of heat pumps you can choose from for your home including air-source heat pumps and ground-source heat pumps. Most homeowners will choose air-source heat pumps, but both are great options to have.
Investing in a heat pump for your home is a great first step in making your home more self-sufficient and eco-friendly. Any homeowner who chooses a heat pump, will also get the added benefit of both warm air in the winter, and cool air in the summers. When you choose to install a heat pump into your home, you will notice many benefits including:
Affordable running costs
Lower maintenance
Safer than combustion-based systems
Decreases carbon emissions
A thermostat that needs Provides both heating and cooling
Increased life-span
Potential eligibility of the Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) Scheme
The average heat pump will last between 15 and 20 years. However, this is only an average, and some heat pumps may last much longer. There are a few factors that can affect the lifespan of a heat pump, such as how often it is used, how well it is maintained, and the quality of the unit itself. Taking good care of your heat pump and having it serviced regularly can help to extend its lifespan.
If your heat pump is not working, there are a few potential reasons why. First, check to see if the power is turned on and that the thermostat is set properly. If everything appears to be in working order, it's possible that the heat pump itself is frozen. This can happen if the outdoor temperature drops too low or if there is too much frost or ice on the coils. To fix this, simply turn off the heat pump and let it thaw out for a bit. Once it's thawed, you should be good to go.
If you're still having trouble with your heat pump, it's best to call a professional for help. They can take a look at the unit and diagnose the problem, then give you an estimate for repairs. In most cases, heat pumps can be repaired fairly easily and don't require replacement. However, if your heat pump is old or has been damaged, it may need to be replaced
