How Heat Pumps Heat and Cool Homes in Sandy

It can help to think of a heat pump as an AC unit that can run in reverse. When Sandy gets hot, your thermostat will tell the heat pump to turn on. This will power up the compressor and start the refrigerant cycling. Or, in the case of geothermal systems, it'll trigger a process deep underground. This liquid pulls the warmth from your home’s air, cooling it. This—if you know anything about air conditioning—might sound pretty familiar. It’s what electric heat pumps do when the mercury dips that really sets them apart.

During the cooler parts of the year, the heat pump will operate in reverse. Instead of pushing the warmth outside, it extracts it from the air outside. This warmth is then pumped inside your home. A separate blower—or your existing furnace—then pushes the air throughout your home. This flexibility makes them a great option for anyone in after improved efficiency in Sandy. Even if you are just replacing an existing heat pump, you're still likely to see some comfort improvement.

Why You Might Want to Swap that Old Furnace for a Heat Pump in Sandy

Swapping a traditional HVAC system for a heat pump isn’t cheap, especially if you need ductwork service or a blower installed. If only looking at cost, you might be deterred. But, if you take the time to compare furnaces to heat pumps, you'll find the latter has many attractive advantages.

The pros of heat pump installation in Sandy and South Jordan include:

More Consistent Heating: Unlike traditional heating systems, heat pumps don’t constantly shut on and off. Instead, they continuously cycle air throughout your home.
Room-by-Room Control: Heat pumps make zoning your home’s HVAC easy. Need to heat the attic and lay off on the living room? This is an option with heat pumps.
No More Burning Smells: When you kick on your heater or furnace for the first time each season, you likely detect the scent of burning dust. With heat pumps, there’s no fire or soot. That means no burning and no smoky odors.
Eco-Friendliness: When it comes to emissions, heat pumps are one of the top performing HVAC systems. So, if going green is on your agenda, get a quote on heat pump conversion in Sandy.
Space Savings: Heat pumps can both heat and cool, eliminating the need for a bulky indoor system. This gives you back closet or basement space.
Wide Compatibility: Live in a mansion? A small house? Have no ducts? With heat pumps, none of these things are a problem. Their versatility allows for almost limitless configuration options.
Lowered Energy Bills: Electric heat pumps offer huge savings when compared to traditional forced air systems. If you want to know how much it’ll save you on heating or cooling bills in Sandy, give Any Climate Mechanical, LLC. a call.

That is not to say that the electric heat pumps are perfect. They also come with drawbacks. First, they need a secondary blower in order to distribute air effectively. Second, as temperatures drop below freezing, heat pumps lose much of their efficiency, drawing higher amounts of electricity. Lastly, because they run year-round, heat pumps have a slightly shorter lifespan than heating and AC units. But, when compared dollar-for-dollar, these dual systems offer the ultimate in HVAC convenience and return on investment.

Your Heat Pump Conversion Options

If you're looking to go from a fossil fuel furnace to a heat pump, there are a number of different routes. These heat pump conversion options in Sandy include:

Oil Furnace to Heat Pump: Right now, you’re tied to an oil delivery service. A portion of your yard or basement is also likely taken up by a large oil tank. By converting from an oil furnace to a heat pump—or mixing the two with a dual fuel system—you can make heating your home much more efficient. For a free quote on heat pump installation in West Jordan or Sandy, give us a call at (801) 760-0294.
Gas Furnace to Heat Pump: Though natural gas is the least expensive of the three options, heat pump efficiency outstrips it by about 40 percent. The access to cooling service—which your gas furnace might not have—is another reason to consider making the switch. If you reach out to us by phone or through our site, we’ll be happy to discuss details and outline exactly how much you Sandy heat pump conversion could save you.
Propane Furnace to Heat Pump: Though deliveries are less frequent for propane than oil, you still need regular drop-offs to stay comfortable. An ugly tank or “pig”, though far smaller than the one seen in oil furnaces, is cluttering your yard. When you couple these things with the lower costs of an electric heat pump, you can see why people choose to convert. To get a quote on making the switch, reach out to us by phone or form.

Already have a heat pump and want to get an upgrade? Then, it might be worth exploring things like groundwater, dual-fuel, and ductless options.

Consider Going with a Dual Fuel System

The costs of completely swapping fuel sources can be prohibitive. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a way to save while still protecting the environment and being more efficient? That’s where dual fuel heat pumps come into play. By alternating between your existing fuel source and the heat pump, they maximize your comfort.

The benefits of dual fuel heat pump installation are four-fold:

Environmental Improvements: By leaving your furnace dormant until the temperature becomes downright frigid, heat pumps minimize pollution. Installing a heat pump is a great way to go green.
Cost Savings: If you keep your typical furnace, you’ll be tied to the current price of oil or natural gas. This can lead to drastic increases during supply constraints. Having a back-up heat pump can free you from that dependence.
Cold-Weather Reliability: Though heat pumps can now operate in low temperatures, there are times when a furnace will do the job better. Dual fuel systems can switch between the two pieces of equipment as needed.
Extended Equipment Lifespan: The split heating responsibility allows your heat pump and furnace to last longer than if they were operating on their own. This gives you more time to save up for a replacement and less time fretting over comfort.

Heat Pump Myth Busting

If you’ve relied on a fossil fuel heating system for a while, you might be concerned about switching to newer heat pump technology. You may also have heard some negative things. Here, we’ll debunk the top four myths about converting from a fossil fuel furnace to an electric heat pump.

Myth #1: Heat pumps don’t work on frigid days.

In the 1980s, heat pumps struggled to deal with temperatures below freezing. But, since then, improvements allow these systems to easily handle temperatures as low as -13°F (-25°C). It should be noted, though, that they lose efficiency as the temperature dips towards that number.

Myth #2: You need a furnace backup.

While some homeowners prefer to install a secondary heating system like a furnace or heater it’s not a requirement. Cold climate heat pumps are masters of finding heat where there seems to be none. Though, in some circumstances, we may advise keeping your current furnace. The only way to know for sure, is to contact us for a free quote on heat pump conversion in South Jordan or Sandy.

Myth #3: Fossil fuels are cheaper than electric heating.

If you use the right technology, this one is false. This myth got started because electric furnaces can be costlier than gas ones. But that’s because furnaces aren’t the most effective electric heating system—heat pumps are! Since these systems only move heat from one spot to another, they don’t need to stress themselves as much. This leads to lower HVAC costs in the Sandy area.

Myth #4: Heat pumps are too expensive

Heat pumps may cost more than a new AC unit or furnace, but that makes sense since these appliances take care of both. So, before you balk at the cost, make sure that you’re making a fair comparison.

Now that you know the truth of these HVAC myths, we invite you to reach out to us at (801) 760-0294 to look into a heat pump conversion in the Sandy area.
