Heat pumps are an energy efficient, single-system solution for cooling and heating your home. Like an air conditioning unit, a heat pump uses refrigerant to cool your home. Unlike an air conditioner, a heat pump uses that same refrigerant to heat your home by drawing warm air from outdoors. As this relies on electricity rather than burning fossil fuels, it can be both cheaper and more energy efficient.
Heat pumps are especially useful during more moderate seasons, when the full capacity of a furnace or boiler would be inefficient. Modern heat pumps work effectively even in cold climates, and many Long Island homeowners are discovering the benefits of this versatile, efficient heating and cooling solution.
Heat pumps offer unique advantages that make them an attractive option for many homeowners.
There are two main types of heat pump systems available. Air source heat pumps work similarly to air conditioning systems, they pull and push heat from an outdoor unit into the air. These are the most common and affordable option for most homes. Ground source (geothermal) heat pumps require underground installation but offer superior efficiency due to stable ground temperatures year-round. While more expensive upfront and requiring adequate property, they provide the best long-term efficiency and savings.
We also recommend inverter heat pumps over fixed output models. Inverter heat pumps are much more energy efficient because they modulate their output relative to your heating and cooling needs rather than running at 100% capacity whenever they’re on. Our technicians will help you determine which type of heat pump makes the most sense for your home, property, and budget.
We provide expert installation and service for all types of heat pump systems.
