A heat pump works the same as an air conditioner in the summer, but it runs in reverse in the winter to heat your home. The system will be matched with a backup heating source, most often electric heat for those extremely cold days of winter.

Much of the same that was described about our air conditioning systems can also be communicated about our innovative heat pumps. Systems that include features like two-stage compressors and variable-speed fan operation make these systems able to adjust for what your home needs in the moment (instead of just fully on or off). This intelligent process results in more uniform temperatures throughout your home while reducing uncomfortable hot and cold spots.

Two-stage compressors do this by running in a low capacity most of the time, and only going over to full power if needed. This allows your heat pump to keep you at the temperature you want, more seamlessly than halting and starting in noise or a hot/cold gush as older systems often do. Variable-speed operation contributes to comfort by slowly ramping up the airflow, which also promotes quiet operation, while optimizing indoor humidity levels and quickly circulating air. The outcome is a quieter, fainter and more harmonious living space that is comfortable year-round.

But in addition to comfort, these upgraded heat pump features can translate into significant energy savings. And because the system is just more efficient and doesn’t waste energy, it consumes less electricity overall. That can mean lower monthly energy bills and less strain on the equipment, possibly adding years to your system’s life. When you choose a replacement heat pump with innovative technology, it’s not only an opportunity to enhance your comfort, but is also an invitation to maximise the efficiency and sustained value of your new system for many years in the future in Barrie.
