How Do Heat Pumps Get Heat From Outdoors in the Winter?

Monday, October 14th, 2024

The miracle of the heat pump is that it works as both a heating and cooling system. It’s not really a “miracle,” but based on the simple principle that if you take an air conditioner and find a way to reverse the way it moves heat, it can provide either heating or cooling. An air conditioner uses refrigerant to draw heat from inside the house and releases it outside, cooling down the interior of the house. A heat pump goes a step further: it can change the direction the refrigerant flows so that it draws heat from outside the house and releases it inside, warming up the house.

How do heat pumps get heat from outdoors in winter, and when is repair needed?

Heat pumps extract heat from outdoor air even in cold temperatures
The system transfers outdoor heat indoors using refrigerant and compression
Reduced heating performance can signal the need for heat pump repair
Icing, unusual noises, or frequent cycling indicate potential system issues
Timely heat pump repair helps maintain efficiency and reliable winter heating

What Parts Make a Heat Pump Different From an AC?

Monday, July 8th, 2024

Making the change from using a standard central air conditioning system to a heat pump isn’t difficult. Heat pumps operate in a similar way to air conditioners and contain most of the same components to do the job. It’s not difficult for installers to remove a standard AC and put a heat pump in its place. Externally, they look similar, so most non-experts can’t tell them apart.

Of course, they do have differences, because the heat pump can do what the AC cannot—work in heating mode as well as cooling mode. Because we have extensive experience with heat pump installation and heat pump repair in Glenwood, GA, we know all about the components of a heat pump that allow it to do these two jobs. We’re going to list the most important of these parts below to help you get a better sense of what your heat pump does—or what you’ll want from the heat pump you’re planning to install.

Is a Heat Pump a Good Option for Your Home?

Monday, September 28th, 2020

If you know about heat pumps, you probably know that they work as both heating and cooling systems. That sounds like a terrific advantage for a home: having all the comfort needs for the year contained in a single package rather than using a separate air conditioner and furnace.

The truth is that—as with so many other home installations—there is no single right unit for all situations. A heat pump may be the perfect new system to install in your home this fall as you prepare for the change in seasons.
