Types of Heat Pumps
Heat pumps are becoming increasingly popular, since they are a multifunctional system that handles both heating and cooling, as well as dehumidification and air filtration. They use the heat energy that already exists in the air and move it inside or outside of your environment based on climate control needs. Since heat pumps don’t create heat, but rather redistribute it, there is less energy required. There are a couple of different ways a heat pump can function:
Air-Source Heat Pumps
At B&B Cool Air, we can install an air source heat pump in Lehigh Acres, FL and other nearby areas. Air-source heat pumps transfer the heat in the air back-and-forth from inside to outside or the other way around in order to achieve the desired temperature. There are two different types of air-source heat pumps:
Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pumps:
Ductless mini-split heat pumps distribute the air using individual units mounted to the wall in desired rooms.
Ducted Heat Pumps:
Ducted heat pumps use one larger unit to handle all heat distribution throughout your environment and require ducts to already be installed in your home.
In general, we recommend air-source heat pumps due to the ease of installation and heat pump repair. We will work with you to decide if a ductless or ducted version fits your needs.
Geothermal Heat Pumps
Geothermal heat pumps are sometimes called ground source heat pumps since they use heat from the earth or nearby water sources to transfer heat. This works because of the reliability and consistency of ground or water temperatures.
Pros:
- Geothermal heat pumps can be more energy efficient.
- They do not rely on outside air.
Cons:
- Installation can be long and difficult.
- Geothermal heat pumps are much more expensive.
Due to the scale of the effort and the high price tag, geothermal heat pumps are less likely to be recommended for residential properties.
Signs You Need Heat Pump Repair
Heat pump repair typically involves inspecting the system for blockages, leaks, lack of lubrication in motors, and more. You may need heat pump repair if your heat pump is over five years old or if you notice that your heat pump:
- Has become louder
- Is turning on or off more often
- Is not heating or cooling your environment as expected
- If your energy bills have suddenly increased
