Greeley Heat Pump Installation Company
In comparison to a traditional furnace or AC, a heat pump offers more affordability. By using the process of heat absorption outside the home, you can heat your residence without the need to burn fuel. The cooling process absorbs heat from inside the home and releases it outdoors. This process reduces your carbon footprint and protects the environment.
You can choose between a few different types of heat pumps for your home.
- Geothermal
- Air-to-air
- Water source
- Hybrid
Homeowners also appreciate the safety that comes with investing in a heat pump. Traditional furnaces can pose a risk of carbon monoxide exposure. With no combustion process occurring when your heat pump runs, you don’t experience the same risk. However, we still recommend that you maintain carbon monoxide detectors in your home.
The quiet operation of a heat pump makes your home a peaceful place to unwind and spend time with family. Modern versions have inverter compressors that can modulate their speed instead of running at full blast. This cuts back on noise, as do variable-speed fans.
A heat pump can help maintain a relative humidity level between 30% and 50%, too. This is the ideal range that prevents mold growth and boosts indoor air quality. Lower indoor humidity can also make your home feel more comfortable, so you use your HVAC system less often.
The process of installing a heat pump begins with choosing the right unit. We will consider the size of your home, your budget, your heating and cooling needs, and the number of people in your household. There may be incentives and rebates that can help offset the cost of a new heat pump. Once installation is in progress, we ensure all work is according to local building codes. We take great care to inspect each fitting and connection, ensuring the safety of you and your family.
Make sure you schedule a routine inspection and maintenance for your heat pump twice per year. This should include once before the start of summer (cooling season) and once before winter (heating season). Keep up with monthly checks of your filters as well. This helps protect the integrity of your heat pump while ensuring optimal indoor air quality.
If you notice anything wrong with the operation of your heat pump in between appointments, give us a call. This includes a lack of warm or cool air, equipment not turning on, indoor air quality issues, or an increase in energy use.
