I had never heard of an air-source heat pump until I moved to Largo, Florida.
I had always lived in cold weather areas, where the heating system was a priority and a central cooling system was a luxury. In Largo, the weather is hot and humid for the majority of the year. We need a powerful air conditioner that operates efficiently and manages excessive humidity. While the temperature rarely drops below fifty degrees, there are times when we need to turn on the heater at night. An electric heat pump is the ideal solution. This type of system combines heating and cooling capacity in a single, compact unit. The heat pump works by moving existing heat between the indoors and outdoors. In cooling mode, it acts nearly identical to a conventional air conditioner, using refrigerant to pull heat out of the house. In heating mode, the heat pump literally verses the operation. It pulls ambient heat from the outdoor air, compresses it to a higher temperature and supplies it indoors. The process is especially environmentally friendly, safe and clean. It’s also wonderfully energy efficient and keeps our utility costs at a minimum. Because the heat pump doesn’t burn fossil fuels, there are no dangerously hot surfaces, greenhouse gasses or carbon monoxide to worry about. Our heat pump features modern adaptable-speed technology that allows it to automatically adjust output anywhere between 40 and 100% capacity. The heat pump most often runs at lower speeds to maintain a very consistent temperature and lessen energy consumption. We’re also able to control temperature through wireless access and customize the setting room-by-room.
