Many area homeowners are opting for heat pumps in Cornelius, NC. A heat pump system by Evergreen Heating & Air LLC can provide both cooling and heating. In fact, a heat pump is among the most efficient HVAC solutions available.
Heating from a heat pump is often much less expensive than heating from a furnace. Some homeowners can also qualify for rebates, tax credits, and other energy incentives that add to the savings.
"I cant recommend them enough. I got a quick response. Service call at the time that fit my schedule. Tim arrived on time and quickly diagnosed the issue. Showed me pictures of what the problem was and gave me options on how to proceed. Very fair pricing and very nice and friendly staff both in the field and in the office. I highly recommend." - Mark S.
A crucial element of any heat pump installation is sizing. Accurate sizing will deliver better energy efficiency and longer equipment lifespan. To do this, your installer will perform a load calculation, such as the ACCA Manual J calculation. Using advanced software, your installer will account for cubic footage, floor plan, building envelope, and much more.
Another important consideration is efficiency ratings. The industry uses two metrics in particular to measure heat pump efficiency. The heating seasonal performance factor measures energy efficiency in heating mode. The seasonal energy efficiency ratio measures energy efficiency in cooling mode. The higher those values, the more efficient the system is. A more efficient system will likely cost more initially but will be less expensive to run.
A main difference between a heat pump and an air conditioner is a reversing valve. That valve allows the refrigerant to cycle in the other direction. This is how a heat pump can provide heating as well as cooling. While heat pumps are very reliable, the valve can sometimes get stuck. The heat pump will run, but only in whatever mode it was in last season.
Thankfully, a professional can easily fix a stuck reversing valve during a seasonal tune-up. Just be sure to schedule heating and cooling maintenance for your heat pump system every year. Routine maintenance will also increase efficiency and lower your operating costs. Furthermore, the technician will check for other heat pump problems, including weak airflow.
Watch for these other signs it may be time for a new heat pump system:
Unusual smells
Short or long cycling
Uneven heating or cooling
Rising energy consumption
Excessive dust accumulation
