Heat pumps at home in Richmond VA

Heat Pump Repair in Richmond VA

What Is a Heat Pump?

Heat pumps are highly efficient units that are able to provide both heating and cooling for your home. With a heat pump, the same equipment runs as an air conditioner. In the winter, the winter, the heat pump works in reverse to provide heating. Rather than generate heat from a fuel source, a heat pump compressor moves cold out and warm in, or vice versa. This makes them more efficient than a standard furnace or air conditioner.

Need a Great Heat Pump Repair Service Company in Richmond?

Heat pumps work best in moderate climates like we have in Richmond. The most common type of heat pump is the air-source heat pump, which transfers heat between your house and the outside air. Today's heat pump can reduce your electricity use for heating by approximately 50% compared to electric resistance heating such as furnaces and baseboard heaters. High-efficiency heat pumps also dehumidify better than standard central air conditioners, resulting in less energy usage and more cooling comfort in summer months. Air-source heat pumps have been used for many years in nearly all parts of the United States, but until recently they have not been used in areas that experienced extended periods of subfreezing temperatures. However, in recent years, air-source heat pump technology has advanced so that it now offers a legitimate space heating alternative in colder regions.

Do Heat Pumps Work in Richmond?

Yes they do! As you've already read, Richmond's relatively moderate climate makes it ideal for a heat pump to operate efficiently and inexpensively. Heat pumps can run efficiently in weather from 15°F to 115°F. This makes a heat pump great for even the hottest summer days. For the rare times the weather dips below 15°F, most heat pumps come with backup electric resistance heating systems that can kick in when the weather becomes brutally cold.

Heat Pump Maintenance in Richmond VA

While heat pumps are most the most popular way to cool and heat homes in Richmond, they do require maintenance. Heat pump maintenance helps to extend the life of the heat pump unit by lubricating, cleaning and adjusting heat pump sub-assemblies and parts. Not only does heat pump maintenance extend the life of the unit, it also keeps repairs less costly. Finally, regular heat pump maintenance can help you predict how much longer your heat pump will last and prepare you for a replacement financially.
