Many homeowners are puzzled by the idea of heat pumps and wonder how they can work to heat and cool down your house. The main thing to know is that heat pumps don’t produce heat on their own; they merely move it around.

A heat pump transfers heat from outside to inside, even when outdoor temperatures are frigid—and works the opposite way to transfer heat to the outdoors when it’s hotter inside than outside. This dual function dramatically improves the energy efficiency of your home.

Did you know that the soil 4 to 6 feet underground maintains a temperature of 50°F to 70°F throughout all four seasons? Geothermal HVAC systems use this consistent temperature to heat and cool your home all year round by pumping water through a loop of underground pipes. When you need heat, the water absorbs it and takes it through a heat exchanger that extracts the heat and pumps it into your home. When you need air conditioning, the system absorbs hot air from inside the home and cools it in the ground before sending it back to a cool air handler.

Like a heat pump, a geothermal HVAC system is a smart way to heat and cool your home as needed and is even more energy-efficient, thanks to the loop system. Geothermal systems also have an expected life span of around 20 years, making them a substantial investment in your home.

If you want to save money on your energy bills, avoid preventable breakdowns, and keep your HVAC systems running as long as possible, regular HVAC maintenance is the smart way to go. Furnaces and air conditioners should be serviced once a year, and heat pumps need tune-ups twice a year because they serve both heating and cooling season.

Routine HVAC maintenance includes switching out filters, testing for leaks, cleaning coils, testing functions, and more depending on the system. Our technicians will ensure your systems are in their best possible shape going into summer or winter.

Indoor air quality is an ongoing struggle for some homeowners, and many don’t realize the excess moisture, pollen, or dust they’re fighting off could result from clogged or leaky ducts. Air duct cleaning is a sensible preventative measure to keep your home’s air healthier in the long run.
