When my hubby and I moved down south, all of us obtained a condo equipped with a heat pump for temperature control… I had never heard of this type of unit and wasn’t sure how it worked, however coming from the north, I was a bit anxious about a single piece of unit providing for both heating and cooling.
I did some research into the operation of a heat pump and was amazed by this innovative technology.
The heat pump is an electric plan that looks and acts almost exactly enjoy a central air conditioner during the summer. It pulls heat out of the indoor air and pumps it outside by way of refrigerant, then when the weather turns cooler, the heat pump reverses the whole process. It finds ambient heat in the outside air and transfers it inside… Because it’s using existing heat rather than burning fossil fuels, the plan is exceptionally clean, safe and environmentally friendly. It’s also super energy efficient in both heating and cooling mode. It helps to combat humidity during the summer, allowing for higher control unit settings. It doesn’t overly dry the air in winter, eliminating the need for a humidifier. With no combustion process, there is no problem about redhouse gases or carbon monoxide poisoning. The heat pump in our condo is fairly new and features adaptable speed technology. The unit automatically adjusts capacity to meet the exact demands of the home, running at lower speeds for longer cycles and maintaining undoubtedly even hot and cold temperatures. I’ve l acquired that heat pumps are quite expensive to purchase and install; All of us are fortunate to have this type of plan installed in our home.
