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

Joe T came out for a new service call for a leak repair and additional plumbing work. Joe did a great job repairing the leak and replacing faucets, shower heads and the inside water shut off valve. This was our second time using Staton and they came out the same day and kept me informed as to when Joe was on the way. The customer service is excellent from the initial call and scheduling all the way through completion.

Great service - first time with Staton - Aaron Simon was professional, friendly, knew his stuff, and fixed our heater. All same day - within an hour of my request I got a confirmation call and help arrived in a timely manner. Our 35-years HVAC & Plumbing guy is retiring and we signed up with Staton today! Great work, all!

Discovered a leak in my water heater and called Staton. They quickly dispatched Brandon to the house and he assessed the situation. He was courteous, knowledgeable, and friendly. He was patient in explaining the situation and the steps needed to address the issue. Due to the age of the water heater and the leak the resolution was replacement. The following day Brandon showed his professionalism not only by the quality and cleanliness of his work removing the old water heater and replacing it with a new one but also taking the time to go over the new water heater to ensure that I was knowledgeable of its functionality. This isn't the first time I have used this company and it will not be the last.
