When our spouse first began touring properties for sale down south, we noticed that most homes were outfitted with an electric heat pump.
The real estate agent consistently pointed out this feature and absolutely considered it an asset, and since our spouse and I were unfamiliar with heat pumps, we pretended to be impressed.
I did some research into heat pumps and l learned that these systems are rather expensive to purchase and install. They are worth the extra investment because of the combination of heating and cooling, and having a single component handled year-round demand saves on space and reduces repair requirements. In cooling mode, the heat pump operates like a conventional air conditioner, effectively pulling heat out of the indoor air. These innovative systems are especially superb at helping with excess humidity. When the outdoor weather cools off, the heat pump switches to heating mode and reverses the flow of refrigerant. It makes use of ambient heat found in the outdoor air. The process of compressing refrigerant from liquid to gas and back works to increase the temperature. The heat pump eliminates the need to burn fossil fuels. With no combustion, there are no concerns over carbon monoxide or green house gasses, making heating pumps lovely environmentally friendly. The operation is especially quiet and clean. These systems are also honestly energy efficient, helping to keep costs to a minimum while providing excellent comfort, and our home is equipped with a fairly new, top-of-the-line heat pump that features stretchy-speed technology. The operation automatically adjusts to supply the precise amount of heating or cooling necessary to maintain consistent indoor temperature.
