What Is a Heat Pump? What Do They Do?

A heat pump is designed to satisfy both your heating and cooling needs. How does it do this? Well, just like the name says: it pumps heat. In cooler weather, the device will take heat from the outdoors and pump it into your home and in warmer weather, the process simply reverses.

How does it pull heat when temperatures are low? Even on very frigid days, there is still heat in the air that can be extracted. No matter what, you will be all set.

What Is a Ducted Heat Pump?

Now, there a couple different options when it comes to which type of heat pump you install in your home. So, what is a ducted heat pump exactly? Is it better than a ductless option? Well, they both have their pros and cons.

A ducted heat pump works well for homeowners that already have ductwork in their home. They are efficient, effective, and convenient, and you will not need to worry about any ugly hardware affecting the aesthetic of your home.

Just be sure to have them regularly inspected and cleaned. According to the EPA, indoor air is typically two to five times dirtier than the air outdoors, and if dust, pests, or other debris accumulates in your system this will only make matters worse. Not to mention, your system will work much less efficiently.

What Is a Ductless Heat Pump?

A ductless heat pump is an option for those without any ductwork in place. It will be much less expensive than installing a bunch of vents, but keep in mind they are typically more ideal for smaller spaces as one unit will only heat the room that it is in.

That being said, you will be able to easily control the temperatures of the individual rooms throughout your home, which could lower your energy bills significantly. If no one is in one portion of the house, simply do not heat it.
