Ducts are an efficient way to deliver conditioned air throughout your home. However, they are also prone to developing leaks and cracks that let out heated or cooled air. This is one of the reasons why many homeowners continue to have an increase in their utility bills.
According to ENERGY STAR, there are signs that tell if an HVAC system has inefficient ducts. These traces include:
- High summer and winter utility costs
- Rooms that are difficult to heat and cool
- Humid rooms that never seem to feel comfortable
- Ducts that are located in an attic, crawlspace, or the garage
- Tangled or kinked flexible ducts in your system
If any of these issues sound familiar to you, a heat pump may be the answer to your problem.
Heat pumps provide an effective way of heating and cooling your home. During winter, it provides warmth not by transforming electricity directly into heat, but rather by taking in the heat from the atmosphere or ground, multiplying it and then transferring the heat to your home.
A heat pump is one of the most efficient home heating systems you can purchase. They operate as a furnace during cold weather, and during warmer periods they also provide your home with cool air.
These devices also provide balanced heating. In contrast with other heating systems, a heat pump will not give you frequent temperature fluctuations.
In the summer, the pump works as an air conditioner. It transports heat from the house and produces a cooling effect throughout. This process is an efficient way of conditioning the air in your home.
Heat pumps are also quiet and convenient to operate. The compressor is usually placed outside the home and helps to keep noise levels low.
These are just some of the reasons why it makes sense to have a heat pump installed in your home.
