- Air-Source Heat Pump: By harnessing outside air, these units capture and amplify natural heat, distributing it throughout your living space when it's cold outside, and inversely, they can transfer indoor heat outside during warmer months. This advanced heat transfer method allows for a highly efficient use of electricity, as no heat is produced, only relocated.
- Geothermal Heat Pump: These sophisticated systems tap into the ground's inherent warm and cool energy reserves, concentrating this natural energy to regulate your home's temperature. The installation is comprehensive, but the investment pays off — these pumps operate on the economical and eco-friendly power of geothermal energy, resulting in significantly reduced operational costs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Heat Pumps and Furnaces
Heat Pump vs. Furnaces—What's Better?
The choice between a heat pump and a furnace depends on your location and climate. An electric heat pump shifts warm air from outdoors to indoors using a refrigerant, making it energy-efficient. However, in colder climates where a heat pump may struggle to move warm air inside, a furnace or boiler that generates heat internally may be a better fit.
Residential Heat Pump Troubleshooting:
If you're experiencing issues with your heat pump, it might be time for a replacement if:
- Your heat pump is 10 years or older.
- Strange or uncommon sounds are coming from the unit.
- Heating or cooling is inconsistent throughout your home.
- Frequent or costly repairs are required.
- Your utility bill has significantly increased due to your heat pump.
How Much Do Heat Pumps Cost?
The cost of a heat pump varies based on the type of unit. An air-source heat pump, easier to install, will have a cost similar to an air conditioner. On the other hand, a ground-source heat pump is about three to six times more expensive to install due to the reconstruction process. However, it offers long-term cost savings through improved energy efficiency.
