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 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.

Jason and Drew were extremely helpful in assessing what plumbing work needs to be done for planned bathroom renovations. They gave me multiple options, including suggestions on how to keep costs down. The walked me through the process of what work needed to be done first, second, third, etc., and what other contractor work likely would be necessary. Highly recommend!

We currently have a gas leak and were informed by Washington gas that it was on our side. Staton was able to make an appointment for the next morning and Stephen came out to evaluate for the repair. Was right on time and I showed him where the leak was determined to be from the Washington gas personnel and then I asked him if he could evaluate the entire line because if we were going to do this work then I'd like for the entire indoor line to be evaluated for repairs. He went to turn the gas back on to evaluate for leaks and used a solution to determine that the leaks were actually coming from the gas meter. Even with that information he still did the entire inside line twice to determine if there were also leaks inside our home.
In the meantime I was on the phone with the Washington gas getting them to return and the technician redid the outside meter for me so that I could take pictures showing evidence of the leak.
On top of that he said he spoke to his manager and was not going to charge me for the evaluation which I was fully expecting to pay for because they came out and did their job it wasn't their fault that Washington gas was incorrect in their original evaluation.
I'm not even a returning customer this was a new customer experience because the HVAC company that we normally use told me it would be a week until they could get somebody out to assess which is unrealistic for a gas leak and your gas is turned off in the middle of winter with two babies at home meaning no heat and no hot water.
At this time I don't have any resolution for the gas leak because I'm waiting on Washington gas but I'm incredibly impressed with their responsiveness and how diligent they were in their process. They easily could have come in said oh that's where Washington gas said the leak was great it's going to be $2,500 to repair this inside line. Not only did they not do that but they also did their due diligence to diagnose the leak correctly which is ultimately going to keep my family safe.
The technician Stephen was also really nice guy. He did not blow off my concerns and /or my suggestions/questions and showed me what was going on instead of just rambling off with details. I appreciate expertise but I also need to know what it means in layman's terms as a homeowner. And I don't always have that experience when dealing with home repairs.
Looking forward to working with them in the future.
