Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings – 

Think of a heat pump as a super-efficient switcher. It acts like an air conditioner in the summer, pulling heat out of your home. In the winter, it captures heat from the outdoors and brings it inside to warm your space. Heat pumps use significantly less energy than traditional heating and cooling systems. This translates to actual savings on your utility bills. 

Year-Round Comfort, All-in-One System—

Gone are the days when separate heating and cooling units were needed. A heat pump serves as both your heating and cooling unit and keeps your home comfortable year-round. 

Improved Air Quality & Quiet Operation—

Some heat pump models come equipped with air filtration systems, which can improve indoor air quality by removing dust and allergens. Modern heat pumps operate quietly so you won’t be distracted by loud humming or clanking.

Clean or change the air filter once a month during peak seasons – 

Dirty or clogged filters can reduce airflow, making the heat pump work harder and increasing energy bills. 

Keep the registers open —

This allows for proper airflow, which is essential for the heat pump to work correctly. Closed registers can disrupt the pressure balance within the system which leads to reduced efficiency and increased energy consumption.

Avoid extreme thermostat settings —

Do not set your thermostat below 65 degrees during the summer and above 72 degrees in the winter. Extreme thermostat settings will drain power from your heat pump, increasing your energy bill. 

Q: What is a heat pump?

A: A heat pump is a heating and cooling system that heats and cools your home via heat transfer. When it’s hot outside, the heat pump takes the hot air in your home and pushes it back outside, cooling your home. The heat pump keeps the warm air inside your home when cold outside. 

Q: What should I do if my heat pump isn’t working correctly?

A: While regular maintenance helps prevent heat pump problems, heat pump repair might become necessary if you experience issues like unusual noises, inconsistent temperatures within your home, or reduced airflow. Our heat pump experts at NOW Heating & Cooling are manufacturer-trained to fix heat pump problems. 

Q: What is the average lifespan of a heat pump?

A: The average lifespan of a heat pump is 10 – 15 years, depending on how often you use it and whether it received professional maintenance within the manufacturer’s recommended guidelines (once or twice a year). The more consistently the recommended maintenance was followed, the longer the heat pump’s lifespan is.
