Types of Heat Pumps
Discover different types of heat pumps and choose the most efficient one for your needs.
What Is a Heat Pump
1. Air Source Heat Pumps
Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) extract heat from the outside air and transfer it indoors during the winter. In the summer, they work in reverse, cooling your home by removing indoor heat and releasing it outside. These heat pumps are energy-efficient and work well in moderate climates.
Benefits:
High energy efficiency
Can provide both heating and cooling
Lower carbon footprint compared to traditional HVAC systems
2. Ground Source Heat Pumps (Geothermal Heat Pumps)
Ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) use underground pipes to extract heat from the earth. Since ground temperatures remain relatively stable year-round, GSHPs are highly efficient and reliable.
Benefits:
Extremely energy efficient
Long lifespan (20+ years)
Provides consistent heating and cooling
3.Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pumps
Mini-split systems are ideal for homes without existing ductwork. These systems consist of an outdoor compressor and one or more indoor units that provide zoned heating and cooling.
Benefits:
Flexible installation
Energy-efficient zoned heating and cooling
Quiet operation
4.Dual Fuel Heat Pump Systems
Dual fuel heat pumps combine the efficiency of a heat pump with the reliability of a gas furnace. The system automatically switches between the two based on the outdoor temperature, ensuring optimal performance in extreme weather conditions.
Benefits:
Maximized energy efficiency in varying climates
Reduced heating costs compared to traditional HVAC systems
Reliable operation even in freezing temperatures
