What Is a Heat Pump?

A heat pump is an incredibly low-cost and efficient method of keeping a home comfortably warm or cool. Its dual function means it can heat and cool a living space to exactly the desired temperature. Some heat pumps pull warm air from the ground and transfer it indoors. However, they're also engineered to function in the opposite manner by cooling living spaces. They can just as efficiently cool a living space by sending warm air out of your home.

Types of Heat Pumps We Install & Service

Depending on whether you're installing an air source or a geothermal heat pump, the installation process may take a single afternoon or several weeks. This is because installing an air-source heat pump is as simple as installing an air conditioner, so it doesn't take long. However, a geothermal heat pump involves a much more technical approach, requiring installation below the ground around your home. Aire Serv is qualified and ready to perform either type of installation. To ensure the job is done correctly, we will start by checking for installation requirements, such as plot size and subsoil quality. Once we install the unit, the surrounding landscape will also need to be redesigned around the new system.

• Air-Source Heat Pump: These units transfer and concentrate heat from the air outside and move it throughout your home and vice versa. They run more efficiently using electricity because they don't generate their own heat.
• Geothermal Heat Pump: These systems extract cold and warm energy from the earth, concentrate it, and transfer it into your home. While they require a more intensive installation process, operating costs are low because they run on natural energy.

When Is It Time to Replace My Heat Pump?

If you need a complete residential heat pump replacement, Aire Serv's experienced service technicians will be there to guarantee your new installment works efficiently. All heat pumps require maintenance, including replacing individual parts to keep things running smoothly.

If you keep running into problems with your heat pump, such as inadequate home heating or increasing utility bills, you can contact Aire Serv of East Raleigh, and we’ll provide quality troubleshooting assistance.

Benefits of Heat Pumps in Homes

Residential heat pumps efficiently warm and cool structures in various climates, including here in North Carolina. Compared to traditional HVAC systems, heat pumps are simple and offer an array of benefits, including:

• Dual Function: This single system can warm and cool your home, so you'll have fewer repairs, maintenance, and replacements to worry about.
• Energy Efficiency: Heat pumps are quite efficient compared to other HVAC systems. These devices use energy to transmit heat instead of constantly burning fuel to generate warmth.
• Humidity Solutions: Heat pumps are also designed to dehumidify living spaces. The average heat pump removes moisture from a humid environment much more efficiently than air conditioning units. Heat pumps also prevent air from becoming overly dry during winter, so you can see why more homeowners are choosing them over other residential heating systems.

How Much Do Heat Pumps Cost?

Your heat pump installation cost will depend on the type of unit you choose. Air-source heat pumps are easier to install and cost similar to that of an air conditioner. Ground-source heat pumps are three to six times more expensive to install due to the reconstruction process. However, their energy efficiency reduces costs over time.
