Heat Pumps

Griffin Heating & Air Conditioning is experienced in the service, repair, and installation of heat pumps in Cornelius, NC, and its surrounding area. A heat pump is a device that transfers heat from one place to another, from indoors to outdoors or from outdoors to indoors. For homes with no access to natural gas, heat pumps offer an efficient and reliable solution for heating and cooling.

How Do Heat Pumps Work?

In the winter, a heat pump works like a heater, extracting heat energy from outside and transferring it inside. In the summer, the process reverses, and it will remove heat from your home and transfer it outside like an air conditioner. Heat pumps do this so well that many people in warmer climates exclusively rely on a heat pump for year-round comfort. For those living in colder climates, they use electric-powered heat pumps in conjunction with their gas or oil furnace resulting in lower heating costs.

Heat pumps work with a series of coils drawing energy from air, water, or the ground. In this way, they are very environmentally friendly and are the most energy-efficient way to heat and cool your home. Heat pumps also work extremely efficiently, because they simply transfer heat, rather than burn fuel to create it. This makes them a greener alternative to traditional gas or oil furnaces. Though you may think you’re unfamiliar with them, they traditionally heat swimming pools and hot tubs, so you most likely have come in contact with them and not even known it.

Different Types of Heat Pumps

There are two types of heat pumps we offer: air-to-air and water source. As mentioned above, they collect their heat from the air, water, and outside-your-home ground and concentrate it for use. Call Griffin Heating & Air Conditioning to discuss the basic differences between these types and which one would work best for you and your home.

Are Heat Pumps Expensive?

Installation costs of heat pumps are higher than with a traditional furnace or air conditioner, but the savings over time in annual energy costs make up for the difference in five to ten years. Performing proper operation and maintenance of your heat pump will also save you money, as you’ll use less energy, thus resulting in less cost. Be sure to ask your HVAC professional for the proper thermostat setting and the indoor pump’s fan operation. Not following the recommended guidelines can inhibit the maximized running of the pump and can degrade the unit itself. Regular maintenance can prevent degradation as well. Consistent filter changing or cleaning is necessary for a well-running heat pump. Seasonal cleaning of coils and fans go a long way in preventing poor energy efficiency that can end up costing you more money. The energy difference between a well-maintained system and a neglected one can be anywhere from 10 to 25 percent.

“Just wanted to comment on the service call we received 10/21. Very impressed with the young man performing our service and his level of HVAC knowledge. I’m sorry I cannot remember the name of the other gentleman with him, but he was in training and Andy took the time to teach him as they were working. Both did a great job and I hope to see them for our future service needs. Very professional!”

Heat Pump Repair in Taylorsville, NC 28636

“After speaking to Andy on the phone, he arrived right when he said he would, from the handshake introduction and greeting on the porch I was impressed. He was very polite, well dressed, clean. After showing him the heat pump he went to work, found our problem very quick, he discussed it with me, gave me a price and fixed it. I also had him to wash the outside and inside coils at my request while he was here. When he washed the coils in the house and was ready to leave couldn’t even tell he had been in the house working, he wore shoe covers when inside. I was totally impressed. I will recommend Griffin Heating & Air Conditioning any chance I get. Thank You Griffin heating and Air Conditioning.”
