We all want great heating and cooling at an affordable price. We recommend having an in home assessment to find if a heat pump is the right fit for you. There a multiple types of Heat Pumps including mini-splits, Geothermal, and air source. Each one can be tailored to fit your homes needs to maximize your comfort.

– Minisplits- Great for heating and cooling individual rooms. Newer models are getting more and more efficient at lower outdoor temperatures. some models are stand alone, some can be paired with multiple indoor units. A great use of minisplits is to cool a house with baseboard heat. You also get the added advantage of zoning these individual rooms. These units are also great for dehumidifying a space

– Air Source Heat Pumps – These come in many shapes and sizes, but usually look just like a standard Air Conditioner. These are great to save money compared to rising fuel costs. These require extra controls compared to a standard air conditioner and come in many sizes and efficiencies. This will all be factored in to find out when it is cheaper to heat the home with the heat pump or by other means, otherwise known as our Energy Balance Point. These can be paired with an electric backup heater or a standard furnace depending on your situation

– Geothermal Heat Pumps – These units use the same technology as the air source units, but they use ground water as their media. This makes these units incredibly efficient. They can work as a standalone with electric backup heating elements or they can work with a standard furnace. These do not lose efficiency as it gets colder outside as the ground in our are stays around 55 degrees year round. There are three types of ground loops. Open Loop – most efficient – uses water from your well and discharges the used water into a pond, lake, or somewhere that will not freeze. Closed Loop – medium efficiency – uses water loops underground (we generally have our at 15′ deep) that are sized with the unit to prevent freezing. The piping is filled with a water/anti-freeze mixture to prevent freezing in the winter. Lake Loop – least efficient – Uses water loops ran at the bottom of a lake or pond. Loops are filled with a water/anti-freeze mixture to prevent freezing. These units are some of the most efficient on the market today, however they are also some of the most expensive. 

Why would we use heat pumps? We can perform calculations to find out if using one is the best cost of ownership for you. Generally, customers that are currently on propane benefit greatly from their savings. Let us come out and find if one is the right fit for you!
