The miracle of the heat pump is that it works as both a heating and cooling system. It’s not really a “miracle,” but based on the simple principle that if you take an air conditioner and find a way to reverse the way it moves heat, it can provide either heating or cooling. An air conditioner uses refrigerant to draw heat from inside the house and releases it outside, cooling down the interior of the house. A heat pump goes a step further: it can change the direction the refrigerant flows so that it draws heat from outside the house and releases it inside, warming up the house.

Monday, October 14th, 2024Is a Heat Pump a Good Idea for a Fall HVAC Replacement?
Monday, September 2nd, 2024It’s almost fall, and this is one of the best times to start thinking about the future of your HVAC system. The schedule for HVAC contractors slows down during the fall, and you won’t have to worry as much about having an active heating and cooling system, so it’s not difficult to find a convenient time to have your old AC or heater replaced.
Maybe the best path forward is to replace both your central AC and heater. You can do this with one of the best options available for effective and energy-efficient comfort—the technology of a heat pump. We offer heat pump replacement in Forsyth, GA and can give you the details about these systems that can help you decide your home’s comfort for years to come.
What Parts Make a Heat Pump Different From an AC?
Monday, July 8th, 2024Making the change from using a standard central air conditioning system to a heat pump isn’t difficult. Heat pumps operate in a similar way to air conditioners and contain most of the same components to do the job. It’s not difficult for installers to remove a standard AC and put a heat pump in its place. Externally, they look similar, so most non-experts can’t tell them apart.
Of course, they do have differences, because the heat pump can do what the AC cannot—work in heating mode as well as cooling mode. Because we have extensive experience with heat pump installation and heat pump repair in Glenwood, GA, we know all about the components of a heat pump that allow it to do these two jobs. We’re going to list the most important of these parts below to help you get a better sense of what your heat pump does—or what you’ll want from the heat pump you’re planning to install.

Is a Heat Pump a Good Option for Your Home?
Monday, September 28th, 2020If 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.
