A heat pump is one of the most efficient ways to keep a home comfortable, and it's a favorite here in North Carolina's mild climate. Unlike a furnace, a heat pump doesn't create heat by burning fuel — it moves heat from one place to another.
In the winter, a heat pump pulls heat energy out of the outdoor air (yes, even cold air contains heat) and moves it inside to warm your home. In the summer, it runs in reverse: it pulls heat out of your indoor air and releases it outside, cooling your home just like an air conditioner.
Because it's moving heat rather than generating it, a heat pump can deliver several times more energy as heat than it consumes in electricity. That efficiency is what makes heat pumps so popular — and why they pair so well with our Energy Savings Agreement maintenance plan.
If your heat pump isn't keeping up or your energy bills have crept up, it may be time for a tune-up. Give us a call and we'll make sure it's running at its best.
