How Heat Pumps Work
Heat pump technology is not new. It’s been around for a long time. These days, they’re becoming an ever more popular option among Canadian homeowners looking to reduce their carbon footprint and cut energy consumption and the associated costs. But how do heat pumps work exactly? We break it down step by step for you here.
Heat Pump Benefits
Energy Efficiency & Carbon Footprint Reduction
Heating and cooling expenses can take a toll on your budget, but a gas furnace ties your costs to fossil fuel prices. Opting for a heat pump can save you money on energy bills and minimize your home’s carbon footprint. Our ENERGY STAR certified heat pumps boast high SEER ratings, ensuring minimal energy consumption to keep your home comfortable.
2-in-1 Heating and Cooling Convenience
Forget the need for a separate air conditioner – a heat pump serves a dual purpose by heating and cooling your home. In the ever-changing climate of Kitchener-Waterloo where one day may be scorching and the next chilly, a heat pump simplifies your comfort. With a heat pump, there’s no more hassle of installing and uninstalling AC units; a simple flip of a switch transitions your home from warm to cool.
Zoned Heating for Personalized Comfort
Multi-room heat pumps allow you to set individual temperatures for each room or zone in your house. Ideal for households with diverse temperature preferences, this feature allows everyone to enjoy customized comfort. Say goodbye to household temperature disagreements – with this heat pump, everyone can relish their preferred temperature in their own space!
How Air Source Heat Pumps Work
The basic premise of heat pumps is that they transfer heat between locations. In colder months, with the help of refrigerant technology, they draw heat from outdoor air and move it indoors to heat your home. In the summer, the process is reversed; the pump takes the hot air from your house and expels it outside, using refrigerant to cool the incoming air.
Save on Heat Pump Installation with Grants & Rebates
If you have had an energy audit for the HER+ program and have not utilized it, you can save thousands on the installation of your heat pump by taking advantage of rebates and grants. Enbridge Gas and the Canadian government are co-delivering the Canada Greener Homes Grant and the Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+).
