What Is a Heat Pump?
A heat pump is an HVAC system that moves heat energy from one space to another. You can think of it as a two-way air conditioner. Since it can move heat in both directions, it can provide a home’s heating and cooling. There are two main types of heat pump systems: air and ground source. Air-source heat pumps move energy to and from the ambient air. Ground-source heat pumps move it to and from the earth or a large body of water.
A heat pump offers many potential benefits relative to the alternatives:
- Energy incentives
- Lower operating costs
- Heating and cooling all in one
- Reduced environmental impact
- Safer and lower-maintenance heating
Our Heat Pump Services
The best way to maximize heat pump costs is through seasonal maintenance — schedule heating maintenance in the fall and cooling maintenance in the spring. Most heat pump warranties require it, and it lowers operating costs, prevents repairs, and extends the system’s lifespan.
Although less common, malfunctions can still happen even after regular maintenance. Monitor for performance issues and be proactive with repairs. A big electric bill often indicates malfunctioning heat pump systems, which may use excessive electricity. Watch for irregular cycling as well. Frequent cycling, for instance, indicates a problem and can lead to even bigger issues.
A load calculation is the first step for a professional to install a heat pump. It will reveal how much heating and cooling output you need. Our team performs conversions, such as from AC and furnace pairings, and direct replacements. Once we know the cooling output, we’ll discuss advanced features with you that can lower your costs even more, such as smart thermostats and zone control.
Watch for these other signs you may need a heat pump repair or replacement:
- Loud or unusual noises
- Excessive condensation
- Uneven heating or cooling
- Recurring tripped circuit breakers
- Mustiness or other unpleasant odors
Is a Heat Pump Right for My Home?
Modern heat pump systems are viable options for most homes. The typical system requires ducts and other equipment similar to a central AC, but there are also ductless heat pump systems.
A consideration for Lansing homeowners is the low temperatures we experience in winter. A ground-source system can provide heat efficiently all winter. Air-source systems have a cold-temperature threshold at which they’re not as efficient. There are high-efficiency air-source models that can operate at low temperatures. An alternative is what the industry calls a dual-fuel heat pump or hybrid heating. This is where you pair a mid-efficiency heat pump with a mid-efficiency furnace.
