What is a heat pump?

A heat pump is part of a heating and cooling system and is installed outside your home. Like an air conditioner, it can cool your home, but it’s also capable of providing heat. In cooler months, a heat pump pulls heat from the cold outdoor air and transfers it indoors, and in warmer months, it pulls heat out of indoor air to cool your home. They are powered by electricity and transfer heat using refrigerant to provide comfort all year round. Because they handle both cooling and heating, homeowners may not need to install separate systems to heat their homes. In colder climates, an electric heat strip can be added to the indoor fan coil for additional capabilities. Heat pumps do not burn fossil fuel like furnaces do, making them more environmentally friendly.

HOW DOES A HEAT PUMP COOL AND HEAT?

Heat pumps do not create heat. They redistribute heat from the air or ground and use a refrigerant that circulates between the indoor fan coil (air handler) unit and the outdoor compressor to transfer the heat.
In cooling mode, a heat pump absorbs heat inside your home and releases it outdoors. In heating mode, the heat pump absorbs heat from the ground or outside air (even cold air) and releases it indoors.

WHAT TYPES OF HEAT PUMPS ARE THERE?

The two most common types of heat pumps are air-source and ground-source. Air-source heat pumps transfer heat between indoor air and outdoor air, and are more popular for residential heating and cooling.
Ground-source heat pumps, sometimes called geothermal heat pumps, transfer heat between the air inside your home and the ground outside. These are more expensive to install but are typically more efficient and have a lower operating cost due to the consistency of the ground temperature throughout the year.

WHERE DO HEAT PUMPS WORK BEST?

Heat pumps are more common in milder climates, where the temperature does not typically drop below freezing. In colder regions, they can also be combined with furnaces for energy-efficient heating on all but the coldest days. When the temperature outside drops too low for the heat pump to operate effectively, the system will instead use the furnace to generate heat. This kind of system is often called a dual fuel system – it is very energy efficient and cost effective.

WHAT ARE THE COMPONENTS OF A HEAT PUMP SYSTEM?

Major Components of a Heat Pump System

  • Outdoor unit with a coil that acts as a condenser in cooling mode and an evaporator in heating mode
  • Indoor unit that contains a coil (just like the outdoor unit) and a fan to move the air through your home
  • Refrigerant that absorbs and releases the heat as it circulates through the system
  • Compressor that pressurizes the refrigerant
  • Reversing valve that changes the direction of the refrigerant in the system, to enable the shift between heating and cooling
  • Expansion valve that regulates the flow of refrigerant through the system

Jason stayed late to make sure our severely seized shower cartridge got replaced and we had our water running again. Things got a little hairy due to how immovably stuck the cartridge was, including him having to go purchase a new cartridge puller to make sure the job could get done. Very thankful for how committed he was to helping us and that we didn’t end up losing water for days.

Jason came at 6, we had an insanely hard to remove shower cartridge that was leaking. It broke inside the pipe and he manually picked the pieces out. Jason stayed HOURS making sure it was fixed. He went above and beyond and didn't charge us above the estimate. We are very grateful.

Like most people, we found ourselves needing a new furnace somewhat unexpectedly, and it can be a stressful process knowing how big of an investment it is. From the very beginning, this company made everything much easier for us. Vincent was the person who came out to evaluate our system and provide an estimate, and he was incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain our options clearly, and we genuinely trusted his opinion and guidance, which made a huge difference during a stressful decision. We had a small scheduling hiccup on our end, and Vincent personally stepped in and took care of everything for us, even though it was outside the normal scope of what would typically be done. He handled it seamlessly and made the situation completely stress-free. There was also a minor unexpected issue involving some wiring and drywall, and the team came back promptly and Vincent handled everything for us without any hassle. It was reassuring to see how thoroughly and professionally they addressed it. Vincent was great from start to finish, and the company is truly lucky to have him as an employee. We also want to give credit to the installers who did the actual installation—we don’t remember their names, but they were professional, careful, and friendly throughout. We’re very grateful for the entire team and would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing heating and cooling services.

Great fast service, very pro install. My water heater was leaking from the bottom,. I called at 9am and had a new heater installed before 3pm. Paid a bit more for the emergency repair- well worth my piece of mind. Highly recommend!!

My heat pump smart Thermostat stopped working. Called on a Sunday. They sent a technician out the next day. Steve found the problem quickly and fixed it. I’m always impressed by the professionalism and knowledge. The technicians clean up as well. Chesapeake may be a little bit more expensive but they come once and do the job right. Being a member helps get you on the priority list. Before the big ice storm, Sean came out did a major repair on an outside spigot. He saved bursting pipes for sure. And saved me money on my water heater replacement by taking the time to notice it was still under warranty. Stanton is a family business and they stand by their work. I would highly recommend using them for plumbing and any HVAC needs.

Jason did a great job. He quickly realized that the sink that was clogged was not the best way to snake out the problem. So he snaked it from the bathroom sink which was immediately behind the kitchen. The clog got cleared and when they were finished they cleaned up and when they left it was as if they were not there. I would definitely use Stanton again.
