The Heat Pump

"Super Central Air Conditioning"

A heat pump is nothing more than a central air conditioner that can provide efficient heating to your home .  While installing central air conditioning , serious thought should be given to upgrading to a heat pump. All of the infrastructure that is needed is already being installed, ductwork, wiring, and machinery. As well under certain conditions a heat pump can provide heating to your house more cost effectively than most heating systems.

All structures have a balance point, that is the point where the heat pump can no longer heat the home. At that time the heat pump is shut-off and the main heating system is energized. The heat pump system can also act as an excellent back-up heating system.

With the flick of a switch no more emergency service call in the middle of the night.  During these trying times of  inflated energy costs and a ever changing energy market, a heat pump can help flatten out those extreme heating costs.  In addition,  most  local utilities also provide one time rebates for upgrading to a heat pump.

As seen in the lower right corner of the machine the heat pump contains a reversing valve. This little device can reverse the flow of refrigerant and make the central air conditioner a heat pump. Thus gathering heat from the outdoors at a very efficient rate and bringing it indoors for heating use. This technology is the prime difference between central air conditioning and a heat pump.

In years past central air conditioning was the only choice. At Carrier many years of development have come to fruition in the Puron  heat  pump.  By reversing the flow of the refrigerant the heat pump can  gather heat from out doors and distibutethis heat  indoors  much more efficiently than ever before. At medium outdoor temperatures this little device can save you a lot of money in heating costs

A smart thermostat can operate the heat pump in combination with your current heating system. This will compliment the operation of both systems, creating greater comfort and increased energy savings.

Running the indoor unit in a heat pump system will allow for greater indoor air quality in those mid-range temperatures. Take advantage of the filtration system incoperated in the duct system installed with the system.

Many local utilities offer incentives when you consider installing a "Central System Heat Pump". These incentives can come in the form of one time rebates or Low Interest Financing. Please check with your local utility to find out whether they offer these Programs.
