The new decade has just begun and it’s a chilly one in Charleston. You may be asking yourself, what are some things that I should do differently this year. Surely living more efficiently is one of those goals. This means the heating system in your home is among the first places to look!
Are you thinking that a heat pump could be an answer to your home’s heating needs? Heat pumps aren’t considered the most common way to heat your home, especially in the Lowcountry. Most homeowners choose to get the temperature control that they need with the combo of a furnace and a central air conditioner. Although the most common way to heat your home, it isn’t the only way to do so.
A heat pump is a mechanical-compression cycle refrigeration system that can be reversed to either heat or cool a space. Think of a heat pump as a transporter constantly moving warm air from one place to another, to where it’s needed or not needed, depending on the season.
A heat pump will save you money on your energy bill. Because a heat pump only uses electricity for power rather than for the generation of heat, it offers a remarkably high efficiency rate. They will also help in this way to reduce your home’s carbon footprint.
