The Rise in Heat Pump Technology
Did you know that heating and cooling account for over half of household energy use in the US? The majority of this energy comes from fossil-fuel-powered and out-dated gas furnaces. How can homeowners efficiently and reliably keep their homes comfortable while only using clean electric? At All American Plumbing Heating & Air, our experts have spent over 23 years in the HVAC industry and promote energy-efficient advanced heat pump technology. Though the concept behind heat pumps and mini-splits has been around for decades, it is now being applied in nearly every facet of home comfort so that homeowners can keep their living space at the perfect temperature while exclusively using renewable electric (and less of it).
Heat pump technology provides many benefits, including:
- Versatile home comfort (both heating and cooling)
- Greater energy efficiency
- Targeted, room-by-room installation
- Whisper quiet operation
- An increase in indoor air quality
- Integration with smart thermostats
Efficiency That is Both Hot and Cold
All-electric heating and cooling technology, like heat pumps and ductless mini-splits, transfer heat instead of creating it, as does gas-fired heating and cooling equipment. For example, on a hot summer day in Los Banos, the heat builds up in your home. A heat pump takes that heat, and efficiently sends it back outdoors. This process leaves only cooler air in your home.
Similarly, in the winter when your living space has cooled down, heat pumps find the heat in the outside air, and efficiently collects it to send indoors to warm-up the air in your home. It may seem like magic, but a heat pump or mini-split can find heat even in sub-freezing temperatures.
