Today, homeowners can also heat their home with an air conditioner. Confused? It will make more sense if you think of your air conditioner as a giant refrigerator. If you feel the vent at the bottom of your refrigerator, your hand will be warm, well where is the heat coming from? The heat is actually being extracted from inside your refrigerator.

What does this all mean? Heat can be extracted from outside your home and not just in the summer months, but all year round, even when temperatures hit zero degrees.

How does it work? Heat pumps reverse the A/C refrigerant processes so that the indoor coil found over your home's furnace or air handler becomes hot, thus heating your home, while the outside condenser releases cold air to the unconditioned space outside.

Why would you want a heat pump, you already have forced hot water or forced hot air? Heat pumps can reduce your dependency on expensive gas and oil. An increase in your utility bill will be noticed, but the savings on oil or gas will easily cover the increase in your utility. In fact, if you are already in the market for an air conditioner, a heat pump will pay the difference in cost within two years of operation.

Homeowners who are looking for an effective and cost-efficient way to heat and cool their homes should look no further than heat pumps. A.J. LeBlanc Heating provides heat pump installations in homes with no existing air conditioning or as replacement for existing air conditioners and/or heating systems. Not only do heat pumps provide reliable heating performance even in colder climates, but they are also highly energy efficient, often using 40% less energy than fossil fuel heating systems while yielding a comparable level of comfort. Additionally, they can be installed with or without existing ductwork, making them an ideal option regardless of your home's current HVAC system.

HSPF, or heating seasonal performance factor, is a metric used to measure the efficiency of air source heat pumps and mini splits. Specifically, it is a measure of how much heat a heat pump can generate for every watt of electricity it uses. The higher the HSPF rating, the more efficient the heat pump. Heat pumps are becoming increasingly popular as a means of heating homes and businesses due to their high efficiency and low operating costs. As such, it is important to understand how HSPF works in order to make an informed decision when selecting a heat pump.
