HEAT PUMPS IN JUNE? Temperatures are hot outside - so why talk about heating the inside of your home? Well, should you find yourself in a position where you need a new air conditioner this summer, you might want to consider replacing it with a heat pump. We hope you don’t find yourself in that predicament, but if you do, here are the “pros” and “cons” when considering a heat pump. How does a heat pump work? In the cooling mode, it operates just like any air conditioner. However, in the heating mode, it is your air conditioner running in “reverse”. An air conditioner uses refrigerant to extract the heat from the air inside your house, circulating the cooler air back into your home and releasing the heat outside. A heat pump uses the same refrigerant to extract heat from the outside air and pump it inside the home. What are the advantages of a heat pump? Heat pumps use an unlimited resource - heat taken from the air - and they are the most efficient way to electrically heat a home. Also, they operate best at a constant temperature, so you don’t have to worry about changing thermostat settings. What about the disadvantages? The most prominent issue with heat pumps is that they do not operate efficiently when the outside temperature is 32 degrees F or lower. This is because there is not enough heat in the outside air to extract. At those times, heat pumps must use electric heat strips to generate the additional heat needed to warm your home which, if used often and for a long period of time, can be costly. Want to make the switch? If you decide to change out your existing air conditioning unit with a 14 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) heat pump, you may be eligible for a rebate from Sawnee EMC.
