The Parts That Make a Heat Pump Difference From a Standard AC

Monday, August 16th, 2021

A heat pump is an excellent alternative to the standard HVAC setup of an air conditioner and a furnace. In operation, a heat pump resembles a central air conditioning system. Most of the components are the same: an outdoor cabinet with a compressor, fan, and refrigerant coil, and an indoor unit with an evaporator coil and air handler. The compressor places refrigerant under pressure so it circulates between the two sets of coils to carry out heat exchange.

A heat pump has several different components in it that allow it to work as a heating system in addition to a cooling system:

It Isn’t Too Early for Heat Pump Maintenance

Monday, February 15th, 2021

When you live around here it is important to have a system that is going to be able to keep you comfortable all year long. Some homes use a combination of a central air conditioner and a heater such as a furnace. However, others use a heat pump mini split.

Heat pumps are well known for being effective and efficient at providing comfort to homes around Dublin. The catch here is that they still need maintenance just like any other system. Okay, maybe not quite like every other system; since they offer both heating and cooling they actually need it twice a year.

A Heat Pump That Won’t Heat: What’s Going On?

Monday, January 4th, 2021
heat-and-cold-houses

A heat pump is one of the easiest HVAC systems to control. When you want to change from cooling mode to heating mode, all you have to do is set the thermostat temperature lower than the current temperature of the house. This signals the heat pump to change the direction it circulates its refrigerant, and this switches it over to begin moving heat into the house. The heat pump doesn’t operate much differently in the two modes (it’s still evaporating refrigerant in one coil and condensing it in the other), so it’s an easy change to make.

Except right now, for some reason, that change hasn’t happened for your house, even though it’s the season for it. If you have a heat pump that isn’t sending out heat or is actually sending out cold air, you may have a problem that requires heating repairs in McDonough, GA. Let’s take a closer look at the possible causes.

The climate around here can certainly give any heat pump a run for its money. It’s cold and rainy one day and then warm and humid the next. It can almost make you envious of those states that have fully delved into the consistent cool temps related to the fall and winter seasons … almost.

However, many of us love our climate even with all its wild ups and downs. And having a heat pump mini split in your home makes it easy to handle since this one system does the job of two. This can also mean, however, that your heat pump needs twice the attention from a technician to keep it running.

Is a Heat Pump a Good Option for Your Home?

Monday, September 28th, 2020

If you know about heat pumps, you probably know that they work as both heating and cooling systems. That sounds like a terrific advantage for a home: having all the comfort needs for the year contained in a single package rather than using a separate air conditioner and furnace. But if heat pumps were always the best choice, they would be in every home by now.

The truth is that—as with so many other home installations—there is no single right unit for all situations. A heat pump may be the perfect new system to install in your home this fall as you prepare for the change in seasons. Or there may be other options that would work better in terms of capacity and efficiency. We’ll look deeper into the question of “to heat pump or not to heat pump.”
