3 Reasons Homeowners Choose Heat Pumps

Wednesday, March 25th, 2015

Modern homeowners enjoy more perks than homeowners at any other point in history. Just think of all the appliances and devices that you use each and every day in order to make your life more convenient, comfortable, and productive. One of the best perks that we enjoy is the wide variety of HVAC systems from which to choose. Different homeowners like to heat and cool their homes in different ways, and Donald P. Dick Air Conditioning is here to ensure that you have the right system in place for your needs and personal preferences. A lot of people have decided recently that heat pumps in Fresno are the way to go. Here are a few reasons to consider the installation of a heat pump on your property.

First and foremost, heat pumps allow homeowners to keep their homes comfortable throughout the entire year while using just one convenient system in order to do so. This is due to the fact that heat pumps rely upon the heat transfer principle in their operation. During the summer season, heat is removed from the air in one’s home and vented outside. A reversing valve allows for the reversal of the refrigerant flow, though, which means that heat can be removed from the air outside during the winter season and put to use in warming your home as well. Our relatively mild winter climate is ideal for this method of heating.

By transferring existing heat, heat pumps are able to heat homes with truly outstanding efficiency, as well. This is another reason why homeowners are so drawn to heat pumps. The ability to heat and cool one’s home conveniently and consistently, as well as more affordably, is a deal which is just too good for many homeowners to pass up.

Finally, heat pumps can help you to maintain comfortable temperatures in your home in a more environmentally friendly manner. Rather than burning oil, gas, or other fossil fuels, heat pumps use ambient heat in the air outside, along with a small amount of electricity, to heat a home. During the summer, electricity is used in the cooling process. For these reasons, you are wise to consider a heat pump in Fresno. Just give Donald P. Dick Air Conditioning a call today to learn more.
