Not that many of years ago, my friend and I needed to replace our heater. It was the perfect chance to finally add central air conditioning to the home. I was fatigued of struggling with window cooling systems. When the Heating plus A/C business came to the house to supply a free estimate, I asked about cooling system options, and she suggested my friend and I install a heat pump rather than an cooling system. I was initially skeptical. I knew that a heat pump costs a lot more to purchase plus implement than an cooling system. After doing some research, I learned that the combination of a heating system plus heat pump is called a dual fuel system plus offers incredible cost-saving potential. The big difference between an cooling system plus a heat pump, is that one provides strictly cooling plus the other offers both heating plus cooling. Throughout the summer, the heat pump acts like an cooling system. It pulls heat out of the air to create a cooling effect. When the weather cools down, the flow of refrigerant reverses to bring heat into the home. The system takes fortune of free ambient heat found in the outdoor air. The absence of a combustion process eliminates the dangers plus environmental impact of redhouse gasses, however plus, heat pumps are especially energy efficient. They cost less to run than a gas heater. The weather in my local section allows us to run the heat pump for the majority of the year. My pal and I only switch over to the heating system once the outside temperature dips below freezing. At that point, the heating system is more effective.
