Between the federal government offering tax credits for installing these systems, to the State of Connecticut point of sale rebates and also sponsoring EnergizeCT, which offers low cost financing options for these systems, theres plenty of ways to lower the up front cost of these systems.
Let's Pump it Up!
Heat pumps are a great way to help lower your oil consumption and supplement your heating costs. These systems are tremendously versatile and can be used for not just heating, but also for cooling. While the word “heat” is in the title, these systems are a great answer for providing air conditioning to older houses that were built without ductwork. Heat pumps are essentially two-way air conditioners. In the summertime, they work like any other AC unit, removing heat from the air inside and pushing cooled air back into the room. In the cooler months, they do the opposite, drawing heat energy from the air outside and moving it into your home to warm things up. The process is especially efficient, using half as much energy on average than other electric home-heating sources.
They’re the cheapest and most efficient way to handle both heating and cooling for your home, no matter where you live. They’re also better for the environment. In fact, they’re one of the best ways for homeowners to reduce their carbon footprint and reap the benefits of a greener future without sacrificing comfort. While there’s an upfront cost, millions of homeowners would save money with a heat pump over the life of the device. Plus, you’ll save even more with incentive programs that are out there to help cover the initial costs.

What Our Customer Say About Us
Heat Pumps Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are the different types of heat pump systems available?
There are several types of heat pump systems, including air-source heat pumps, ground-source (geothermal) heat pumps, and water-source heat pumps. Air-source heat pumps extract heat from the outdoor air, while ground-source heat pumps use the relatively constant temperature of the ground as a heat source or sink. Water-source heat pumps extract heat from a water source, such as a pond or well. Each type has its own advantages and considerations depending on factors such as climate, available space, and installation cost.
What is involved in the installation of a heat pump system?
The installation of a heat pump system typically involves several steps, including selecting the appropriate type and size of heat pump for the home, positioning the outdoor unit (condenser/compressor) and indoor unit (air handler or ductwork), and connecting refrigerant lines and electrical wiring. Installation also requires consideration of proper insulation, ductwork design, and compliance with local building codes and regulations. It's essential to hire a qualified HVAC professional for the installation to ensure optimal performance and safety.
How can I maintain my heat pump system to ensure optimal performance?
Regular maintenance is crucial for maximizing the efficiency and longevity of a heat pump system. Maintenance tasks may include cleaning or replacing air filters, inspecting and cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, lubricating moving parts, and verifying proper airflow. It's also important to keep outdoor units free of debris and vegetation to maintain adequate airflow. Scheduling annual professional inspections and tune-ups can help identify and address any issues before they escalate.
Are there any common problems or issues associated with heat pump systems?
Like any HVAC system, heat pumps may encounter common problems such as reduced heating or cooling capacity, uneven temperature distribution, unusual noises, or refrigerant leaks. These issues can be caused by factors such as dirty filters, refrigerant leaks, electrical problems, or improper installation. Prompt diagnosis and repair by a qualified HVAC technician are essential for resolving these issues and restoring the system's performance and efficiency.
