If you are thinking about purchasing an updated cooling system, you may be trying to decide whether an air conditioning system or a heat pump system is best for your home. Let us help you decide which one might be right for you.
Air Conditioner:
-Cools by taking heat from inside your home and transferring it outside, leaving your home cooler.
-Cannot heat your home. You would require another source of heat, such as a furnace, boiler, or electric heater.
-Can have lower cost to install and typically has a longer life span.
Heat Pump:
-Cools by taking heat from inside your home and transferring it outside, leaving your home cooler.
-Automatically reverses during the winter by taking the heat energy from the outside and transferring it inside your home, leaving your home warmer. Even in cold outdoor temperatures there is heat energy available.
– Best for more mild or temperatures areas. Requires more energy to heat your home when temperatures are frequently below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Although, recent advancements and higher efficiency heat pumps allow for efficient heating even in colder climates.
