Get Heating and Cooling Comfort With a Heat Pump System
In Minnesota, the weather can shift at a moment’s notice. The day can start cold and dreary and get blistering hot by midday. That’s exactly why a heat pump system from River City Heating & Air Conditioning makes perfect sense. Discover how this single unit can fill your heating and cooling needs below and call us to discuss installation.
What Is a Heat Pump?
A heat pump is a system that can both heat and cool your home. In the summer, it takes heat energy from inside your home and transfers it outside, cooling it down like an air conditioner. Then, in the winter, the process reverses, warming your home like a furnace. It’s an energy-efficient alternative to more traditional HVAC systems—more on that below.
What Are the Benefits of a Heat Pump System?
Year-Round Comfort
From chilly fall mornings to warm spring days, you can stay perfectly comfortable with a heat pump. Switching between heat and cool is easy and quick.
Energy Efficiency
Where traditional furnaces and A/Cs generate forced air to heat and cool your home, heat pumps simply transfer existing energy inside and out. This process is much more efficient—something you’ll notice in your monthly energy bills.
Quiet Operation
Because heat pumps don’t generate forced air, they are a lot quieter than furnaces and A/Cs. In fact, you may not even realize they’re running half the time.
Installing a Home Heat Pump
Many homeowners are switching to heat pumps to take advantage of the benefits listed above. But they’re also finding an added benefit: enhanced home heating.
When paired with a furnace, a heat pump system really shines. The two systems take turns operating, working in tandem to give you cost-effective heating all winter. For example, when temperatures dip, the heat pump switches on and works its magic. But when it gets Minnesota-cold out (typically 37 degrees Fahrenheit), the furnace takes over. The pairing produces double or triple the amount of heat than the energy it uses to run.
