Heat pumps are an increasingly popular choice for heating and cooling in Mechanicsburg, PA. With their reliable, year-round performance, they’re a convenient choice for residential climate control. Ready & Able is your top choice local HVAC company.
During the summer months, heat pumps are functionally identical to central air conditioners. In winter, they operate in reverse to provide even and steady heat. Best of all, in ideal operating conditions, these appliances offer unmatched efficiency.
With heat pump installation, you can lower your home energy bills, significantly reduce your carbon footprint, and optimize your indoor comfort. We offer heat pump systems with cutting-edge features and capabilities along with expert installation services.
Like central air conditioners, heat pump systems have two primary components: indoor air handlers and outdoor condensers. If you choose to use a heat pump for both heating and cooling, you’ll have just one system to maintain but two important components to take care of.
A heat pump leverages heat transfer to raise or lower indoor temperatures as needed. In summer, these appliances extract heat from the indoor air and funnel it outside along with excess moisture. During winter, they source heat from the outdoor air and move it into building interiors.
Although similar to how air conditioners work, this process is significantly more efficient. Some heat pump models can produce up to four times the heating and cooling energy that they consume in electric energy.
Even the refrigerants that heat pumps use have environmental benefits. Many of the latest heat pump models use cutting-edge Opteon refrigerants. Unlike older AC refrigerants, Opteon refrigerants don’t contain hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) or hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). As such, they aren’t ozone-depleting.
In addition to regulating indoor temperatures, heat pump systems also regulate indoor humidity and filter indoor air. Unlike gas-fired furnaces which provide rapid heating and emit high-temperature heat, a heat pump produces even, steady heat that’s between just 90 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
This gradually warms building interiors up without drying them out. It makes installing a heat pump an excellent choice if your current heating system causes uncomfortable, dry-air symptoms like stuffy noses, irritated nasal passages, headaches, or frequent nighttime nosebleeds.
Professional heat pump installation is a multi-pronged process that ensures optimum performance, healthy indoor air quality (IAQ), and lasting efficiency.
When sizing heat pump models, we use the Manual J Load Calculation. This is a complex calculation performed with special software.
The Manual J accounts for important home and household-specific factors like ceiling heights, family sizes, window locations, and building layouts among other things. Using the Manual J to size heating and cooling equipment ensures that it isn’t too big or too small for its intended service areas.
To finish our heat pump installation job, we install compatible thermostats, turn these units on, and test them. We also show our clients how to leverage all of the available features and functions of their new heat pump systems.
Like all other heating and cooling equipment, every heat pump requires regular, professional maintenance. If using your new heat pump year-round, you should schedule regular maintenance before the cooling season arrives and again before winter rolls in.
When seasons change and homeowners need heating rather than cooling, heat pump reversing valves automatically reverse their operations. There’s no need to manually toggle a switch or make any other adjustments. Your heat pump will streamline its performance throughout the year to create and maintain the temperature that you’ve set at your thermostat.
