Winter is fast approaching. Is your heating system ready for it? Do you have a heat pump or are you considering installing one in your home? Bottini Fuel offers expert heat pump installation in New York’s Hudson Valley. Our heat pumps are high quality and highly efficient. Let’s take a closer look at what heat pumps are and how they work.
Heat pumps use electricity and refrigerant to move heat. That heat can be moved into or out of your home. That makes heat pumps both a heating and cooling system. On hot days, the refrigerant in a heat pump captures the heat inside your home and sends it outside. On cold days, the process works in reverse. That’s because even cold air has heat energy in it. The heat from that air is captured and then transferred to your heat pump’s refrigerant. As the refrigerant heats up, it becomes a vapor and travels to the indoor coil of your heat pump. A blower fan then sends this heat through your ductwork and vents to heat your home. However, Bottini Fuel also sells and installs heat pumps that don’t require ducts.
There are a few advantages to heat pumps. Heat pumps can be extremely efficient, so they can reduce your monthly energy bill and decrease your carbon footprint. Heat pump installation is a fairly easy process. And, since heat pumps can move warm air in either direction, they can cool or warm your home as needed. Additionally, if you or your loved ones are sensitive to noise, heat pumps run with minimal noise.
Heat pumps of the past weren’t always good at warming a house in extremely cold weather. However, there have been advancements made in heat pump technology. And the heat pumps that Bottini sells and installs can keep your home comfortably warm and toasty even when the outside temperatures fall below the freezing point.
A heat pump might be the right choice for you if your home isn’t located near any natural gas lines. Heat pumps like the Mitsubishi Electric ductless heat pump system Bottini Fuel sells are also great for homes without ducts, home additions, attics, basements, and garages that have been converted into living spaces. You may also find such a heat pump useful if there’s a space in your home that’s never as comfortable as the rest of your home because it’s hard to cool and/or heat. A heat pump can also be a great way to provide supplemental heat and reduce your oil or propane consumption.
