Proven technology works.

Heat pumps are some of the most efficient systems for heating your home or business. They also work as cooling units.

Heat pumps are generally classified as air source or geothermal (also known as water source).

In the winter, they take heat from the outside air or the ground and transfer it to be used in your home. Heat pumps in our area are set to run until outside temperatures drop and the unit isn't able to perform efficiently.

Geothermal heat pumps can operate efficiently to lower temperatures than most air source heat pumps. When the temperature drops below the set point, the heat pump automatically switches to a backup method of heating. The backup can be electric resistance or a fossil fuel furnace.

In the summer, they reverse the process taking the heat from your home and transferring it to the outside air or the ground.

Dawson PPD suggests that consumers learn more about heat pumps through unbiased sources such as the United States Department of Energy.

 

Energy conservation is good for your checkbook and the environment. A heat pump can be added to your existing heating system or replace a less efficient system.
