The most common type of heat pump systems is an air source or “heat pump systems” that transfers heat from the house to the outside air. The heat is collected outside the house in the air, in the water or in the ground and concentrated for use in the house.

Today’s heat pump systems reduce the electricity consumption for heating by about 50% compared to their predecessors. Heat pump systems provide climate – moderate heating and cooling requirements, and highly efficient heat pump systems can dehumidify in the summer months, reducing the need for air conditioning, heat exchangers and air conditioning. 

As with refrigerators, heat pump systems use electricity to direct heat into warm rooms, making them more efficient and cost-effective than conventional heating and cooling systems. During the heating season, a heat pump system conducts heat from the cool outdoor area into the warm house and during the cooling time from the cooler house into the warmer outdoor building. Like a refrigerator, electricity is used to transport heat to a warm room, making it cheaper and more energy efficient. 

Heat pump systems move heat instead of generating it, providing the equivalent of indoor air conditioning when operating conventional heating and cooling units. Air sources and heat pump systems are highly efficient compared to other heating systems. They can be installed more efficiently than conventional air conditioning – heat sources such as refrigerators and air conditioning – and they are more cost-effective – than other forms of air conditioning. 

Air sources and heat pump systems are an excellent choice for homeowners who want to upgrade their heating and cooling systems and achieve significant cost savings over the life’s of their system.
