Heat Pumps Can Save You Money
You may be wondering what exactly a heat pump is and how can you benefit from it. Simply put, it is a regular air conditioning unit that can work in reverse. For example, to cool the air in your home, your AC unit will pull the hot air out, circulate it through the system, cool it, and return the newly chilled air back into your home. Heat pumps cool your home like all AC units do but when you switch on the heat during those cold months a very interesting thing happens with heat pumps; the heat pump unit is able to pull heat from the outside air and pump it into your home. Alright, so now you are probably wondering how if it is cold enough outside to need heat, where is the warm air coming from?!? Amazingly, cold air does contain heat and heat pumps can pull even the smallest amount of heat out of the air.
What makes this good for your energy bills? It takes very little energy for a heat pump to work it’s magic. To find out how much a heat pump will help you save annually, check operating costs and electricity prices with your electric company. In Florida, energy costs to heat and cool a home with a heat pump are generally 25-30% less than conventional heating and cooling systems.
