Heat Pumps

| Airdrie | Calgary | Cochrane | Chesteremere

More and more people in Calgary and Airdrie are discovering the benefits of replacing their conventional AC units with modern heat pumps. Today’s heat pumps are designed to extract thermal energy when temperatures drop below freezing.

Energy Efficient and Energy Adaptable

Many homeowners are using heat pumps during the in-between seasons of spring and fall when temperatures are cooler but not extreme. The heat pump provides heat during cooler days while the gas furnace heats the home during colder days.

Heat pumps can operate when it’s as cold as -25, however, because natural gas is more cost efficient than electricity for heating most heat pumps are set to only provide heat up to a certain temperature. Because this operating temperature setting can be adjusted a homeowner now has the flexibility to respond accordingly should natural gas and electrical prices invert in the future. It also provides further heating options with the addition of solar panels.

Heat Pump Advantages in Calgary and Airdrie

Cost

One of the important deciding factors for consumers to choose heat pumps over older AC unit types is the price. A heat pump allows flexibility as it provides both heating and cooling but with a small incremental cost increase. Many modern heat pumps also have a higher SEER rating resulting in lower energy bills for homeowners.

Space Efficient

Many modern inverter heat pumps are engineered as side-discharge rather than the conventional large, cube-shaped, older units using a top-discharge fan. This intelligent design results in a smaller physical footprint of space outside the home.

Quiet Operation

An added benefit of modern heat pumps is the variable-speed inverter technology which delivers a quieter operation and consistent indoor temperature. The heat pump turns on and steadily increases the compressor capacity, and once the desired indoor temperature is achieved, it throttles down to a uniformed speed and more muted sound.

Environmentally Friendly

By adopting heat pumps, homeowners can reduce fossil-fuel consumption and integrate renewable energy to minimize cumulative carbon outputs. This setup works exceptionally well with residential solar panels, which have become increasingly affordable and mainstream.

Heat Pump Experts

We understand price is an important consideration. Be wary of unbelievably low prices and make sure to research and confirm that the seller is established and reputable. Heat pump installation expertise is vital to avoid short-cycling, poor humidity control and inconsistent temperatures.

Heat pumps are available in a wide range of options. In some cases choosing the lowest price may leave you wishing you had made a different choice. Heat pump manufacturers maintain unit price-points meaning a low, low price is sacrificing something in the design of the unit or along the delivery chain.
