What Does a Heat Pump Do?

Energy Star Most Efficient 2021 Logo - Save Home HeatAn air-source heat pump does the exact same job as a conventional air conditioner, cooling your home when the summer heats up. The big difference, however, is that during the winter, a heat pump switches its function around to heating, making them a viable year-round home heating and cooling option. Heat pumps are powered by electricity, so during the heating season they help reduce reliance on burning fossil fuels such as gas or propane. Cleaner, ‘greener’ technology continues to grow in popularity, and heat pumps are a great product to help you make your home more comfortable, efficient, and environmentally friendly.

In our area, central heat pumps are typically not adequate to function as a sole heating source, and are usually combined with a gas forced air furnace in what is known as a ‘dual fuel heating system.’ With the heating season benefits that heat pumps provide, homeowners considering replacing an old central AC unit or installing new central air conditioning would be wise to give heat pumps a closer look before making a purchasing decision.

Ductless mini-split heat pumps, also referred to as mini-split heat pumps, on the other hand, operate independently of a central system, providing effective, efficient, unobtrusive heating and cooling to individual rooms or areas in your home. In homes where the primary central system doesn’t do a satisfactory of heating and cooling certain rooms, ductless mini-splits could be just the solution you’re looking for. Or, if your existing central system is just unsatisfactory, ductless mini-splits could provide year-round comfort to your entire home. We find that our customers are always very satisfied with the performance of the ductless mini-split heat pumps we install. They could be a great addition to your Northglenn home.

Multi-Zone System Heating & Cooling in Northglenn

Mitsubishi Electric How Ductless WorksA multi-zone ductless heating and cooling system is created when you setup more than one indoor blower unit in different rooms in your home. In some cases, these units may be able to be run off of a single outdoor multi-zone condensing unit, keeping the outdoor footprint and sound levels well contained and at a minimum. Some multi-zone condensing units can power up to 6 indoor blower units. When it comes to the indoor blower units, there are several options to choose from when it comes to the shape, style, and installation method. The most popular indoor blower is the wall-mounted style, installed high on a wall, up and out of the way. Other indoor blower options include ceiling-cassettes, floor consoles, and modest duct-able models that can be hidden from view. The system is controlled by a handheld, remote control thermostat which can also be installed on a wall like a conventional temperature control.

Central Heat Pumps in Northglenn

In homes where the furnace and ducting system does a good job distributing heated and cooled air to the various rooms and levels, central heat pumps are a great option to consider if you are replacing an older AC system or installing new central air conditioning.

Central heat pumps provide the exact same cooling performance you’d expect from a conventional AC system during the summer, with the added bonus of also providing heat to your home when the cold weather arrives. A properly sized, professionally installed central heat pump will be able to handle most or all of your home’s heating load during relatively mild winter conditions. Working in conjunction with an existing central furnace in what’s known as a ‘dual fuel heating system,’ the two systems combined will improve overall efficiency and help extend your furnace’s life, while also reducing your home’s carbon footprint.

Dual Fuel Heating Systems Using Heat Pumps

As suggested by the name, a dual fuel heating system comprised of a central heat pump and a gas furnace – the typical arrangement in the Boulder-Denver area – uses two different energy sources to heat your home, with the heat pump depending on electricity and the furnace burning gas. In this system, the central heat pump handles the initial heating load until demand exceeds what it can provide. At that point, the heating chore is seamlessly handed off the to the furnace to complete the job. Two heaters working together on a shared heating job.

The advantages of a central dual fuel heating and cooling system include:
  • Greener heating and cooling option than a standard furnace and AC system
  • Reduced gas consumption
  • Reduced carbon footprint
  • Improved system efficiency
  • Decreased load and increased lifespan for your furnace
  • Two sources of heat instead of just one (a built-in backup system)
  • State-of-the-art comfort levels, all year-round

Lennox Furnace - Inside Sketch - Save Home HeatIn our opinion, our team at Save Home Heat Company feels that the ideal central dual fuel heating and cooling system is the combination of a variable-output furnace and a variable-output heat pump. Other enhanced performance central heat pump options include high efficiency two-stage and single-stage models.
