How Does A Heat Pump Work?

A heat pump is a device that uses a tiny amount of energy. It heats a home by moving heat from various locations. Heat pumps pull heat from the air or the ground when it heats an office or home. Heat pumps can also be used to help cool a home using the same process as an air conditioner.

Heat pumps are energy efficient because they work to transfer heat, while other heating devices must burn fuel to heat the home. Additionally, because a heat pump does not use fuel, it is more eco-friendly than other heating sources.

Benefits of Using a Heat Pump

Heat pumps work with just a push of a button. By using the remote, everyone can adjust the temperature based on their own specific comfort levels. The remote also lets homeowners switch from heating to cooling fairly quickly. Once the heat pump reaches the proper temperature, it will maintain that temperature until adjusted.

Other benefits of a heat pump include:

• It heats or cools the home quickly
• Heat pumps use fewer kilowatts of electricity and are more cost-effective
• It offers a more consistent and even comfort

Common Heat Pump Problems

Our Nampa heat pump repair technicians will help you tackle any heat pump problem, including a unit that is failing to offer any heat. For this specific problem, we will troubleshoot the thermostat. The unit will be set over the home’s room temperature during maintenance. If the heat pump has a digital thermostat, it will be set about four degrees higher. This procedure is used to make sure the heat pump operates, and not the backup electrical elements.
