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

Called Staton for a heat pump check-up and found out we had a
faulty starter which could cause major problems down the road. Andrew my Staton technician clearly explained everything to me , but put no pressure on me to get it fixed immediately. I decided to get the job done at a great price. Andrew was awesome. He took care of my problem. He was a very professional, caring individual. I am very pleased with the results. I will not hesitate to call Staton again should I have another problem with my heat pump.
What a wonderful company. I went down into the basement this
morning (7/21/21 - Wednesday) and I found another leak in my
overhead copper piping. I tried to fix it myself, but I made it much
worse. I even had to turn the water off because of water escaping
from the copper pipe. I called Stanton and was greeted by a very
nice caring lady, and W. L. Staton was able to come out in the morning
to fix my leak. Joe and Paul were very nice polite professionals I
immediately took a liking to them . They ended up replacing all the
copper hot water pipes in the basement ceiling for a very
reasonable price. They quoted me the price before they began
the work! (I had many other small leaks in these pipes.) They
did a great job. NO MORE LEAKS!! I will recommend
them to others, and they will be my go to plumbers from
now on. Thank you W. L. Stanton!!

W. L. Staton was quick to respond to a domestic hot water outage on the same morning that I called for help. Vince Harris did a great job of performing routine maintenance on two Navien tankless hot water heaters, then making a hour-long trip to pick up a replacement part for one that failed on one of the units. His work was excellent, he was very courteous, and he went out of his way to pick up the part I needed to get my whole system up and running again. I will be calling W. L. Staton again for future maintenance and repairs on these units.

Joe Fanning was our Plumming tech. He did a very good job assessing the situation and the issue. Gave me a quote as to what he was going to do to correct the problem. He was very polite and courteous and respected our property. He did a great job in repairing the leaky pipe. Cleaned up the area and then explain to me what he did had me test it.
