If you are looking to heat your home in the winter and cool it in the summer with one single appliance, then a heat pump is for you.
What is a Heat Pump?
A heat pump is a versatile device that can both heat and cool a space by transferring heat from one area to another. It does not heat or cool air, rather it uses a refrigeration cycle to move thermal energy between indoor and outdoor environments. By moving heat, a heat pump is a highly efficient system to control the temperature in homes and other buildings. You can purchase a heat pump from your plumber and heat pump installer at Plomberie Chauffage Normand in Montreal.
Different Types of Heat Pumps: Wall-mounted Vs. Central
There are two main types of heat pumps:
Wall-mounted (also called ductless mini-splits), which are ideal for individual rooms or smaller spaces. They consist of an outdoor unit connected to one indoor unit or more mounted on the walls without ducts.
Central heat pump systems, which integrate with a home's ductwork and can provide heating and cooling for the entire house. They also consist of indoor and outdoor units.
Advantages of Heat Pumps
Compared to more traditional heating systems, heat pumps offer several advantages:
They offer year-round comfort; one appliance can both heat and cool.
They are highly energy-efficient and save you money on utility bills.
They do not burn fossil fuels, so they reduce direct carbon emissions.
