The Pros and Cons of Buying a Heat
Pump
Even though pumps can be very important in
helping consumers to save on utilities, they
have their own limitations.
The first thing you need to know about a pump
is that it runs on the basic principle that the
heat from the sun is always in the air, even
when the air is cold. The heat is extracted from
outside air by the heat pump
The Pros and Cons of Buying a Heat
Pump
and transferred into the interior of the house
using the internal ductwork situated in the
house. The heat is circulated through the ducts
using a high-powered fan after it has been
taken through a condensing unit which either
adds or removes heat from the air.
Heat pumps will be best especially in areas that
experience mild climatic conditions.
The Pros and Cons of Buying a Heat
Pump
It however will not be effective in areas that
experience extreme temperature changes. In
such areas, individual heating as well as
cooling systems will the best option.
When the temperatures are so extreme, for the
heat to function well, it will need to be equipped
with an auxiliary strip that will be powered on
when it is operational.
The Pros and Cons of Buying a Heat
Pump
The strip enables it to produce more heat
compared to if the heat pump was working
alone. But the disadvantage is that the heat
pump is going to be a bit costly in its operations.
You will have a lot of benefits when using
pumps since they are economical. It will cost
you less to either heat or cool your home
compared to using a traditional air conditioner or
heater provided the temperatures are not so
extreme.
The Pros and Cons of Buying a Heat
Pump
The heat produced by a pump is approximately
three times that produced by an air conditioner
or boiler and therefore it is going to be more
effective in heating or cooling your home.
The heat produced is also less intense implying
that it can run for quite long while still
maintaining a comfortable level of both airflow
and circulation.
The Pros and Cons of Buying a Heat
Pump
Heat pumps are also able to physically remove
more moisture from air compared to air
conditioners. As a result of this, it is going to
help you control humidity in your home better
during late summer months.
Another benefit of a pump is that it has a
smaller footprint. This is because its heating as
well as air conditioning features are all
contained in a single unit.
The Pros and Cons of Buying a Heat
Pump
Even with the many benefits that heat pumps
have, they also have their drawbacks. They
include high initial costs of installation,
maintenance as well as repair compared to the
costs of the conventional ventilation systems.
Their major disadvantage is that they deliver
the least amount of heating or cooling at the
times when they are needed the most.
The Pros and Cons of Buying a Heat
Pump
For instance, in an area that has 20 degrees
outside, the air that comes through the vents is
going to be much cooler compared to the air
that is coming from a traditional furnace or
boiler.
They can also be so noisy, something which
challenges their convenience.
