What are heat pump systems?
Heat pumps are basically central air conditioners that can operate in reverse to be central heaters too. These systems are extremely popular even preferred in moderate climate regions like southern states that usually have milder winters.

Why use a heat pump system?
Heat pumps deliver cool air during hot summer months, and warm air during cool winter months, all from one central system. The most popular configuration is an air-source heat pump, which uses the outdoor air to exchange energy for cooling or heating your house. Heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative to conventional heating and cooling systems.

How do heat pumps work?
Much like refrigerators, heat pumps use mechanical energy to transfer heat from a cool area to a warmer area, making the cooler area colder and the warmer area hotter. You may think heat pumps just generate heat, but they actually move heat which provides equivalent space conditioning, that's cost effective for about one quarter of the cost of operating furnaces and air conditioning systems. While heat pumps help transfer heat into your building from the cool outdoors, and into your warm house during colder seasons, they also move heat from your cold building to the warm outdoors. Heat pumps are designed to move thermal energy opposite to the direction of spontaneous heat flow by absorbing heat from a cold space and releasing it to a warmer one.

Even when you don't think heat pumps are necessary, they're being used. When the temperatures outside are cold, a heat pump extracts outside heat and move it inside and while it's hot outside, it reverses directions and acts as an air conditioner by removing heat from the building.

Regardless of the type of heating system you have, Taylor can help!

Mini-splits
Ductless, mini-split-system heat pumps (mini splits) make good retrofit add-ons to houses with "non-ducted" heating systems. They can be a great choice for room additions where extending or installing distribution ductwork is not an option, and also work for energy-efficient newer homes that require only a small space conditioning system. Be sure to choose an installer familiar with the product and its installation. Like standard air-source heat pumps, mini splits have two main components -- an outdoor compressor/condenser and an indoor air-handling unit.

Advantages
The main advantages of mini splits are their small size and flexibility for zoning or heating and cooling individual rooms.

If you’re using a heat pump to keep the indoors nice and cozy, then you’re very familiar with its benefits. Unlike many heating devices, a heat pump doesn’t generate its own heat. Instead, it moves heat from one place to another – a process that uses less energy. This system is also designed to work both ways, making it a cost-effective choice for entire home heating and cooling.

However, even if you take great care of it, it can still get damaged over time. There may come a time when your heat pump isn’t delivering air flow efficiently or stops functioning. If the complications aren’t solved immediately, you’ll have a harder time maintaining a comfortable atmosphere in your property.

That’s why it’s crucial that you contact Taylor Refrigeration & AC whenever your heat pump breaks down. We have the experience, skill, and the necessary equipment to fix any problem your unit runs into.
