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 three types of heat pumps: air-to-air, water source, and geothermal. As mentioned above, they collect their heat from the air, water, and outside-your-home ground and concentrate it for use. Call Goettl's High Desert Mechanical 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.
During Camp Verde’s chilly mornings, a struggling heat pump could mean low refrigerant levels, a dirty coil, or a failing reversing valve. These issues reduce efficiency and airflow. Our professional heat pump repair services in Camp Verde quickly diagnose and restore your system, so you can stay comfortable without high energy bills.
High bills often mean your heat pump is running inefficiently—usually from dirty filters, clogged coils, or thermostat problems. In Camp Verde’s fluctuating climate, your system may also switch to backup heating too often. Our heat pump maintenance service keeps your system clean, tuned, and efficient year-round.
If your heat pump is over 10 years old, needs frequent repairs, or struggles to keep your home comfortable, replacement might be more cost-effective. New energy-efficient heat pumps can save you up to 30% on utility costs in Camp Verde. Our team provides honest assessments so you can make the best decision for your home and budget.
