Heat Pumps

Is Heat Pump Installation Right For Your Home?

Heating and cooling systems are a major investment and there are many things to consider for a new installation. Are you looking to cut down energy costs? Do you want a system that doesn't take up too much space? How does the local climate impact your heating and cooling needs?

Heat pumps offer a small(er) but mighty way to keep your home comfortable through every season. With the capability to heat and cool through one compact system, they are a popular alternative to traditional air conditioners and furnaces. Mason Air Conditioning & Heating is here to help you understand the benefits of heat pumps. Our team will answer any questions to ensure complete satisfaction with your new comfort system.

The Difference Heat Pumps Make For Your Home

Heat pumps are a popular, eco-conscious HVAC upgrade for many southwest Florida homeowners. If you are unsure whether this is the right setup for your needs, consider the benefits that set heat pumps apart from traditional heating and cooling systems.

• Energy-Efficiency: In extreme Florida temperatures, you might adjust the thermostat constantly while energy costs skyrocket. According to the Department of Energy, air-source heat pumps (the most common type) use up to 50% less energy compared to traditional furnaces.
• Year-Round Comfort: High-efficiency heat pumps power through every season with heating and cooling capabilities all in one compact unit. They also help dehumidify your home in the summers even better than traditional air conditioning systems.
• Environmental Friendliness: Sustainability is a priority for many homeowners considering the best way to heat and cool their space. Heat pumps are an eco-friendly choice that produce fewer carbon emissions than traditional HVAC systems.

Signs To Schedule A Heat Pump Repair

Though built to last, heat pumps require upkeep like any other HVAC system. Because they run year-round, it's important to know how your heat pump performs and call a professional if you notice any problems. Scheduling a repair at the first sign of malfunction is the best way to prevent a costly breakdown.

• Inadequate Heating or Cooling: A well-maintained heat pump should have no problem providing consistent, conditioned airflow throughout your home. If temperatures are different across rooms or the airflow isn't strong enough, the unit may have an issue. You can start by checking the air filters for dirt and debris buildup and replacing them if needed. If new filters don't solve the problem, it's time to call a professional.
• Strange Noises: Outside of a humming noise while the heat pump runs, it shouldn't make any noticeable or disruptive noises. If you hear grinding, squealing or rattling noises, there may be a loose internal component. Turn the unit off and always leave the inspection and repair to a professional to avoid injury and further damage to the unit.
• Increased Energy Bills: Heat pumps help you save! If your energy costs suddenly skyrocket, you should have the unit checked out. While clogged filters can send your unit into overdrive, there may be a bigger issue like a refrigerant leak or damaged compressor.
