Heat Pumps

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.
