What Is A Heat Pump?

An air-source heat pump operates just like a traditional air conditioner during the summer to provide cooling, and then reverses its operation to generate heat during the winter. This makes heat pumps a year-round option for home comfort in Broomfield. Heat pumps are powered by electricity, unlike fossil fuel based heating systems that require gas or propane to operate. Energy Star Most Efficient 2022 logoThe trend towards cleaner, ‘greener’ technology in the home has created a growing demand for home heating products that can help reduce your carbon footprint. Heat pumps come in both central (ducted) and ductless designs, both with their own advantages and features to consider.

In a centrally ducted heat system, a central heat pump isn’t usually enough to rely on as a primary heat source. However, a central heat pump can be used in tandem with a gas forced air furnace to create a ‘dual fuel heating system,’ providing a number of benefits. If you’re in the market to replace or upgrade your central air conditioner, a central heat pump is an option worth considering as an alternative to traditional central AC.

Ductless mini-split heat pumps operate separately from a central system. Also referred to as mini-split heat pumps, these ductless systems afford independent heating and cooling for specific rooms and areas in the home. This is a popular option for areas that your central system doesn’t adequately heat and cool, or where you’d like to have independent comfort control, such as home offices, dens and living rooms, finished basements, and bedrooms. Ductless mini-split heat pumps, as well as cooling-only ductless air conditioners, are a very efficient, effective, unobtrusive way to supplement comfort in specific areas of your home, or to heat and cool and entire home. Our customers in Broomfield and surrounding communities continue to be very pleased with the performance of these systems.

Ductless heat pumps always rate high in customer satisfaction, providing effective, independent heating and cooling to virtually any room in a home. These stylish systems operate quietly and efficiently, providing reliable comfort throughout the year. Even when outdoor temperatures drop to 10 degrees below zero, certain models of ductless mini-split heat pumps can still generate meaningful heat. Whether you want to address a specific comfort issue in one or two rooms, or plan to setup a fully zoned ductless heating and cooling system to condition your entire home, ductless heat pumps are a great option to learn more about.

Multi-Zone Heating & Cooling, With Indoor Blower Options

Mitsubishi Electric How Ductless WorksIn addition to the benefits of zoning that mini-split heat pumps afford, multi-zone systems use a single outdoor condensing unit to power several indoor blowers. Certain models can power as many as six indoor units, allowing you to keep noise and your outdoor footprint to a minimum. The most popular style of indoor blower is wall-mounted, and other options include floor mounted console, ceiling-cassette, and the duct-able indoor unit that is easily tucked away out of view.

Mini-Split Heat Pumps as a Whole-Home Solution

Denver-Boulder regional utilities continue to move towards wind and other renewable energy source to generate electricity, and many homeowners are joining along. By converting an older, less efficient gas or electric heating system to ductless heat pumps, you can help reduce reliance on burning fossil fuels while reducing your home’s energy consumption. With efficient and effective performance and zoning ability, whole-home ductless systems are an environmentally friendly option worth considering in Broomfield.

Central Heat Pumps Installation in Broomfield

If your furnace and ductwork do a good enough job of distributing heated and cooled air throughout your Broomfield home, a central heat pump is worth considering when installing a new central AC system or replacing an older air conditioner. In addition to performing the identical function as a central air conditioner, a central heat pump also contributes heating during the winter. During mild heating season conditions, a central heat pump can handle most or all demand that would otherwise be handled by your furnace. This reduces fossil fuel consumption (gas or propane), plus, by handling more of the heating load, your heat pump will help extend the furnace’s lifespan by reducing annual wear.

Dual Fuel Heating Systems

The term ‘dual fuel system’ refers to a design where there are two alternate sources of heat in one system, in this case gas for the furnace, and electricity for the heat pump. Installed in tandem with a gas furnace in a dual fuel system, a central heat pump provides a number of benefits. Under relatively mild wintertime conditions, the heat pump will handle most, if not all, of the heating demand and when needed, it smoothly hands off the workload to the furnace. Among other benefits, the shared heating load means less stress on both systems. Extended life for the furnace is certainly a noteworthy benefit.

The advantages of a central dual fuel heating and cooling system include:
