How Does a Heat Pump Work?
At Royal River Heat Pumps, we take the time to explain to homeowners exactly how heat pumps actually work, and how they will work in their home, because understanding the technology helps our customers make better long-term decisions for their homes, especially in Maine’s cold climate.
Heat pumps are all-electric heating and air conditioning systems that simply transfer the heat that’s already there, instead of creating it like other types of heating systems must do. This is what makes them so efficient.
In heating mode, they extract trace amounts of heat from the air outside, even in the below-zero temperatures we get here in Maine, and use it to heat your home.
In cooling mode, they work in reverse, pulling heat and humidity from the air inside your home and dumping it outside.
Benefits of Heat Pumps for Maine Homes
Choosing the Right Type of Heat Pump
-
Ductless Mini Split Heat Pumps
Ductless heat pumps are installed without tapping into existing ductwork or going through the expense and difficulty of adding new ductwork. They’re perfect for additions and hard-to-heat areas like sunrooms, and can also be configured for whole-home heating and air conditioning.
-
Ducted Heat Pumps
Ducted heat pumps connect to ductwork and provide centralized heating and air conditioning for your entire home.
When you work with Royal River, we take the time to understand your goals and will recommend the heat pump type and system that will best serve your family. In some cases, a heat pump can replace your entire system. In others, we’ll recommend keeping your existing heating system as a backup or for use during power outages.
Choosing the right type of heat pump is only part of the equation. Improving your home’s comfort and energy efficiency isn’t just about the equipment itself. System design and installation quality play a crucial role in how well your new heating and cooling system will perform.
Royal River Installs Heat Pumps Systems Designed for YOUR Home
Heat pump design and installation is a science, and we treat it as such! We perform Manual J load calculations to size your heat pump, evaluate air flow to ensure heat and AC will be distributed evenly, and use the data we collect to recommend the optimal configuration.
Not many other heat pump installers take the time to do this, but we do, because it results in a higher-performing system and better results for our customers.
The only way to design the perfect heat pump system for your home is in person, so if you’re considering residential heat pump installation, the first step is a free consultation with our team. We would be happy to discuss your options and provide a free estimate for your heat pump or mini split installation.
