Heat pumps provide versatile heating, cooling, and humidity control—they move heat outside your home in the summer and pull heat into your home in the winter. For those in moderate climates, where the temperature doesn’t regularly drop below freezing, a heat pump can be the answer to both heat and cool your home for all your comfort needs.
One way to dramatically improve your home’s comfort is to keep indoor humidity levels steady throughout the year. Two-stage and variable speed heat pumps offer better control because they operate for a longer period of time at lower speeds and use less energy. These pull more humidity out of the air than models with a single-stage compressor.
Heat pumps are rated by their Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF), which is a measure of a heat pump’s overall energy efficiency during the heating season, their Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) and their Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER). These ratings are similar to miles per gallon (MPG) for a car: the higher the rating, the more energy-efficient the system.
Variable-speed and two-stage models provide ultra-quiet operation compared to models with single-stage compressors. In addition, heat pumps that include sound blankets and our Silencer System II™ design can further reduce sound levels.
Often times regular maintenance and repairs can extend this life but sometimes a new unit is what you need. Morris Comfort Systems experienced technicians will diagnose your problem and make the best recommendation for you
