What is a heat pump?
A heat pump is a device that transfers heat from one environment to another one. A residential heat pump uses exterior air to heat the house during colder weather and acts as an air conditioner in hot weather. It is based on the same technology that runs refrigerators and air conditioning units, for example.
Why should I replace my heat pump or my central air conditioner?
Today’s systems are as much as 60% more efficient than those systems manufactured ten years ago. You may wish to consider replacing your system if it is old, inefficient or in need of costly repair. If you are concerned about utility bills or are faced with an expensive repair, it might be a wise choice to replace your system and save a substantial amount of money on your energy bill.
How long can I expect a new system to last?
If you have a qualified technician perform regular preventative maintenance and service suggested for your unit, industry averages suggest that an air conditioner should last 12-15 years and a gas furnace should last as many as 20-25 years.
Why a filtration system?
Because airborne dust particles in the air you breathe often cause respiratory problems and keep proliferating, it is important to continually change the air and allow for a greater air flow as needed. And this is exactly what the ventilation systems we can install in your home will do for you.
And an air exchanger?
Today’s homes are built much “tighter” from an energy standpoint and unfortunately, contaminants and humidity have no way to escape, causing respiratory problems as well as deterioration of the house. A good air exchanger will significantly improve your indoor air quality by providing proper ventilation in areas of your house you have humidity, smoke and vapor.
Why maintain a heating system?
Heating system maintenance before start-up should be done every year. Adjustment is essential to ensure greater performance and comfort. As stated by CMMTQ, “Annual maintenance and verification of all components of a system will ensure its efficiency and primarily its security”. This is why it is important to have service professionals perform the work.
