Why Would I Need to Install a Heat Pump in My Home?
Some homeowners might consider the addition of heating to their living spaces as more of a luxury than a necessity, but there are actually several reasons to consider the addition of a new heat pump to your home.
Combat Cold Climate
Puyallup is known for having a cold climate – with its short summers and long, freezing winters. Why let yourself and your family suffer through the cold when you can introduce heat pump technology to course warm air through your walls and floors? Prolonged exposure to the cold can increase the likelihood of getting sick.
This is because our bodies are not as effective when it comes to fighting viruses once cold air is introduced into our system. These viruses include the flu, the common cold, measles, and more. While wearing thicker clothing like sweaters and jackets can somewhat protect the residents of your home from the negative effects of the cold, nothing will beat the security and warmth that a heat pump system can provide.
Efficient Power Consumption
Traditional heating solutions used in American homes relied on the use of flames and burning flammable materials like fossil fuels or natural gas. Examples of this include gas-fired space heaters, gas furnaces, wood-burning or pellet stoves, as well as classic fireplaces. As iconic as these features may be in a home, they can also be quite wasteful in terms of their fuel composition as well as the size of their carbon footprint.
On the other hand, heat pumps work to heat your space with electrical wiring. This supplies warmth in an energy-efficient way, providing heated air to your living spaces with a very small carbon footprint as well as lower utility bills. Enjoy more energy savings overall as well as a lower heating bill – all while also being kinder to the environment.
Versatile Applications
While a vast majority of American homes do use heat pump systems for temperature control in the living spaces of their home, they can also be used for water heating in kitchens and bathrooms. Whether it is summer or winter in Washington, ready access to hot water is useful all year round.
Safer Operation
Replacing your current heating system may spell the difference between a safe home and a fire hazard. There are two possible culprits for fires caused by dangerous heating solutions.
Outdated or Corroded Heat Pumps
Here at Taylor Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical, we advocate for diagnosing and repairing any indoor and outdoor units for both heating and cooling solutions. We have a highly-trained team of experts that offer top-notch diagnostic and repair services to salvage damaged units from the brink of dysfunction. However, we sometimes encounter units that are beyond repair due to how far they have corroded, the gravity of their damage, or simply due to old age.
If left unattended, these can cause unpleasant odors, uneven heating, or even a house fire. Upgrading to a new heat pump will save you the stress of dealing with unpleasant signs of wear and tear. It will also give you peace of mind.
Traditional Heating Elements
Traditional heating elements like fireplaces and woodfire stoves can prove to be dangerous, especially if you have children and pets in your house. These heating solutions need to be kept under close watch at all times.
By having a heat pump installed, you can safely control the temperature in your home. This is made possible by using an HVAC system that relies on electricity consumption rather than an open flame to warm your space.
These four reasons to install a heat pump system should be enough to push you to either make the switch or try your very first heating solution.
