Marion, IA Heat Pump Installation

Every appliance has a shelf life, and that includes heating and cooling systems. When your air conditioner and furnace are at the end of their lifespans, you might start the HVAC system shopping process. However, what most homeowners don’t know is that just because their home had an air conditioner and a furnace installed doesn’t mean that they’re locked into these systems in their homes. Air source heat pumps are an alternative to furnaces and air conditioners that are much more energy efficient. Weigh all your HVAC system options and consider adding a heat pump to your home instead.

Furnaces can use electricity and natural gas to heat a home, which can increase your carbon footprint. Heat pumps are one appliance that both heats and cools the home using only electricity. Heat pumps work by transferring heat from one space to another. In the winter, when you need to heat your home, the heat pump takes the energy from outdoor air and pressurizes it to transfer it through refrigerant to the inside of your home. The indoor unit releases this stored energy to warm your indoor space. To cool your home, the system reverses the process, and the energy from the indoor air is pressurized and transferred to the outside. This removes the heat from inside your home and releases the energy outside to lower the indoor air temperature.

Oftentimes, an incredibly cold winter can cause a heat pump to struggle to warm the home efficiently. So many Marion, IA homeowners have a furnace as a backup heat source. These are called “dual fuel” systems. Heat pumps can also be paired with ductless mini splits which can provide zoned areas around your home for personalized comfort. When you work with Novak, we present you with all of the options available to provide maximum comfort around your home.

Though many homeowners are intrigued by heat pumps because they are more eco-friendly there are many reasons to install a heat pump in Marion. The team at Novak explains why making the switch to a heat pump is often worth it.

Energy Efficiency

Heat pumps are highly energy-efficient because they don’t generate heat, they move it from one place to another. By using electricity to move heat instead of creating it, heat pumps can produce up to three times more heat energy than the electrical energy they consume. This makes them an excellent alternative to traditional heating and cooling systems, which can be much less efficient.

The Convenience of Heating and Cooling in One

When you have only one heating and cooling system to manage, your maintenance schedule is much more consistent and issues are easier to troubleshoot. Many homeowners often get overwhelmed when they try to diagnose heating or cooling problems themselves because they aren’t familiar with all of the components. Having one appliance that can do it all simplifies things.

Environmentally Friendly

For families focused on reducing their carbon footprint in Marion homes, heat pumps are beneficial. Since heat pumps do not burn natural gas or propane like conventional furnaces, they produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide, that contribute to global warming. By choosing a heat pump, you can reduce your carbon footprint and make a positive impact on the environment.

Indoor Air Quality

One of the most common complaints about forced air furnaces is the side effects of itchy skin, scratchy throats, and general discomfort of dry indoor air. The constant air exchanges between indoor and outdoor air, compared to other cooling and heating systems, create a more comfortable indoor environment because humidity levels are stable.
