When you live in a moderate climate region, a heat pump installation is an effective way to both heat and cool your home. This appliance uses electricity to move heat between the inside and outside of the home to keep the interior comfortable. Below are a few reasons you should consider adding one.

How Does a Heat Pump Affect the Home?

1. Energy Efficiency

Instead of generating heat, a heat pump moves it from one space to the next. This enables it to both cool and heat your home at one-fourth the cost of a traditional furnace or air conditioner. Using one as your primary heating source can cut your heating bill by up to 50%. Additionally, because they dehumidify indoor air better than a standard air conditioner, they make your home interior more comfortable during summer, reducing how low you need to turn the thermostat. 

2. Save Space

A climate control system can take up considerable space, especially when you need a heater and an air conditioner. Thankfully, a heat pump installation is a two-in-one system, consisting of an outdoor unit and an indoor blower and evaporator that are inside your ductwork and out of sight. 

3. Heat the Water

Standard heat pumps become less efficient when temperatures drop below freezing. For this reason, if you experience several below-freezing days in winter, you will benefit more from a geothermal heat pump. These systems are beneath the ground, taking advantage of the consistent 55-degree temperature. This allows the system to heat or cool the home no matter the outside temperature. During the transfer process, the compressor produces a hot discharge gas, which you can direct to your hot water supply to lower your monthly bill.
