What is a Heat Pump?

_ct8wj2_7pi.2309080825550

Simply put, heat pumps transfer heat from a cool place to a warm place, making the cool place cooler and the warm place warmer in the process.

This means that, when it is cold outside, they move heat into your home and, when it’s hot outside (which is most of the time in South Florida), they move heat out of your home. Because heat pumps are transferring heat rather than generating heat, they’re an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional furnaces and air conditioner.

In fact, studies show that switching from a traditional furnaces and air conditioner to a heat pump saves the average U.S. household $557 per year on heating and cooling and produces 3 metric tons less of carbon emissions per year – this is a nearly equivalent to giving up your car!

Like central air conditioners, heat pumps have two main components, an indoor air handler and an outdoor unit with a compressor that circulates refrigerant that absorbs and releases heat as it travels between the indoor and outdoor units.

So how do they work?

When cooling your home, heat pumps work in much the same way as a traditional air conditioning system (or your refrigerator); a refrigerant absorbs the heat inside your home and transfers it outside. That said, they do a much better job of dehumidifying your home, so they use less energy to cool your home in the summer months.

But how do they absorb heat when it’s cold outside? Because the refrigerant is, generally, colder than the air outside (liquid refrigerant is between 40° and 50° Fahrenheit when it enters the evaporator coil) it can absorb heat by circling the refrigerant in the outdoor unit. The refrigerant is then vaporized and compressed, and that heated vapor moves into the indoor unit to heat your home.

If you're in Broward or Palm Beach and you're considering a mini-split system for your home or office, you simply must read this 5-star review from Ale Nor!

It has now been 2 years since the mini split system has been installed.

The only mistake I made was not listening to Mike and NOT taking his suggestion. We had a 2nd zone added to the house in July 2022, Mike did say to do it way back in 2020 and I didn't listen.

We had wall ac units in 2 bedrooms and NO ac in the 3rd bedroom. We have been so pleased with the original installation, quality of the product that of course it was a no brainer to call them again.

We have the yearly maintenance service and ALWAYS on time, right to the point cleaning with great service technicians. I think everyone in this company really knows how to do their jobs and how to do them very well.

So, back to the new mini splits. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better it did. Very clean installation, again on time service and installed and completed with 2 business days.
