The official first start of fall is only a few days away and even though temperatures are still quite pleasant, it’s time to start thinking about your home’s heating system. Was it failing to create a comfortable indoor environment toward the end of winter? Is it just not throwing heat like it used to? If so, it may be worth considering a heat pump system this season.
- Air-Source: this type of heat pump absorbs warmth from outdoor air, even when it’s cold outside, and transfers it inside your home. Under optimal conditions, air-source heat pumps can reduce a home’s energy usage by nearly 40%.
- Geothermal: instead of taking heat from the air, geothermal heat pumps use the ground as the main source. These systems work via a system of fluid-filled piping that takes heat from the ground and moves it up to the heat pump, where it’s then transferred indoors.
