Learning more about heat pumps

Instead, a heat pump takes existing heat plus simply relocates it, and during the summer, the system pulls heat from indoors plus transfers it outside by way of refrigerant, creating a cooling effect

Until I packed up and moved down south, I’d never heard of an electric heat pump, and when our hubby plus I were looking at homes to buy, the real estate agent told us that the property featured a newer heat pump, but I was not able to imagine what this actually meant. I’d spent our entire life up north, where the Winter months are the priority plus required and a seriously powerful oil furnace! To handle temperatures down to twenty-five below zero, most houses are outfitted with either a gas oil furnace or a boiler heater, however very few people bother with central a/c. I knew that in our modern location, a cooling system was very much necessary. I finally googled to find out what exactly an electric heat pump does. I ended up learning that it’s an environmentally friendly type of temperature control system. It combines heating plus cooling capacity plus eliminates the burning of fossil fuels to create all of that heat. Instead, a heat pump takes existing heat plus simply relocates it, and during the summer, the system pulls heat from indoors plus transfers it outside by way of refrigerant, creating a cooling effect. When the temperature drops, the heat pump changes around the flow of refrigerant plus takes a fortune of ambient heat in the outdoor air, however as long as the temperature doesn’t drop below freezing, there’s adequate ambient heat available. The heating plus cooling process is wonderfully safe, wash and energy efficient. Along with that, the heat pump helps to combat excess humidity plus filters contaminants out of the air, because our modern beach house is equipped with a state-of-the-art heat pump, we appreciate zone control, wireless activity plus stretchy speed technology.
