heat pump

Though lesser known than a furnace or boiler, a heat pump can be a great option for heating (and cooling!) your home. 

A heat pump is an all-in-one system for both heating and cooling your home. It works by moving air around—acting as an air conditioner in the summer by sucking heat out of your home’s interior and transferring it outside, and as a heater in the winter by extracting heat from the air or ground and bringing it inside. 

Heat pumps have a number of great benefits:

• Heat pumps don’t generate hot or cold air, so they are much more energy efficient than a typical furnace or air conditioner. Heat pumps give off double or triple the amount of heat compared to the energy they use.
• Heat pumps can save you money. They are less costly upfront than separate air conditioning and heating systems, and their efficiency means lower operating costs. Some homes save 30-40% on their energy bills by switching!
• Heat pumps are an eco-friendly choice—running on electricity and releasing no by-products. 
• Heat pumps present less in-home risk as they do not have the potential to release carbon monoxide or toxic emissions.
