Learn more about Heat Pump Systems

All heat pumps are made up of two pieces of HVAC equipment:

  • The outdoor unit that both heats and cools,
  • and the indoor unit that blows the air into the living space.
  • The copper pipes and wires (Line Set) that connect the system from the inside to the outside is cased in a plastic line set covering that runs up the side of your house.

Conditioned air from a heat pump can be moved in two ways:

  • Air moved by a furnace’s blower motor & into the ductwork,
  • or an on-the-wall blower unit that sits in a room and does not require vents.
Heat Pumps produce a milder heat and use electricity as their main power source so they are considered to be better for the environment as they use renewable energy. In some applications and uses, they save you money on your heating & cooling bill.

Stand-Alone Heat Pump Systems

This equipment handles heating and cool and the applications are based on what your home needs.

  1. Single Head Heat Pump Applications:
    • Garages
    • Master bedrooms
    • Hot attic rooms
    • Any hard to vent to spaces
    • Homes with no ductwork
  2. Multi Head Heat Pumps Applications
    • Whole home electrification
    • Multi-level condos
    • Apartment units
    • Boiler heating replacement
    • Baseboard heating replacement
    • 2nd or 3rd story floors with multiple rooms

Hybrid Heat Pump Systems

When a home has ductwork and a communicating furnace, a heat pump can be paired with your existing furnace. By pairing them, you get the choice of how to heat your home: with a natural gas furnace or with an electricity powered heat pump. In some cases, a specific furnace is needed or the current furnace is too old and will not work with a heat pump. Don’t worry Donaldson Home Services are heat pump experts and will find one that works for your home.

Two kinds of hybrid heating and cooling systems:
 
  1. Hybrid Furnace & Heat Pump: The best of both worlds. A gas furnace for the winter and a heat pump for the shoulder & hot seasons.
  2. Electric Furnace & Heat Pump: Fully heat a home with an electric system. No gas hook up required.

Electric System

How do heat pumps work?

A Heat Pump is powered by electricity and  uses refrigerated gasses to create both hot and cold temperatures and then transfers it to moving air. This conditioned air is then “pumped” into your home, meaning a heat pump system does air conditioning & heating! A good short cut is to think of a heat pump as an upgraded AC that can also do heating and uses a reversing valve to switch between heating and cooling mode. 

What is SEER Rating?

SEER ratings measure energy effectiveness for air conditioning and this rating is a lot like gas mileage for cars which measure fuel efficiency. It stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, the SEER or SEER2 refers to the generation of the technology with SEER2 being a more refined energy rating system.

The Benefits of a High SEER Heat Pump

Choosing a high SEER rated Heat Pump unit is a smart decision for homeowners looking to save money on energy bills, reduce their environmental impact, and enhance the comfort and value of their home. They can offer a variety of benefits, including:

Increased Energy Efficiency: High SEER rated units are more energy efficient, meaning they consume less electricity to provide the same cooling output as lower SEER units. This translates to lower energy bills over time.

Cost Savings: Although high SEER units may have a higher upfront cost, the long-term savings on energy bills can often offset this initial investment. Homeowners can enjoy significant savings over the lifespan of the unit. To see how much a system with a higher SEER rating could save you, try our Energy Savings Calculator.

Environmental Impact: Lower energy consumption means reduced greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impact. Choosing a high SEER unit contributes to sustainability efforts and reduces the carbon footprint of your home.

Increased Comfort: High SEER units typically provide more consistent cooling and temperature control, leading to improved comfort levels within the home. They can maintain desired temperatures with less fluctuation, creating a more pleasant indoor environment for your family.

Long-Term Investment: HVAC systems are long-term investments in the home. Opting for a high SEER unit can increase the resale value of the property since energy efficiency is an attractive feature for potential buyers.

Government Rebates and Incentives: Many governments offer rebates, tax credits, or other incentives for installing energy-efficient appliances, including high SEER AC units. Taking advantage of these programs can further reduce the cost of upgrading to a high SEER system.

Advantages Of heat pump Systems

Heat pumps have many advantages, including increased efficiency, zoned cooling for various temperatures in different rooms, and no carbon air pollution.
