Heat Pumps: A Revolution in Home Comfort

Heat pumps have always provided a real benefit to homeowners that have LP or liquid propane as a as a gas source rather than natural gas. But with recent changes in both pricing and available tax credits, government incentives, and also the rising price of natural gas, it’s become much more beneficial for a homeowner to install a heat pump in place of their air conditioner rather than just an air conditioning unit. Another thing that’s happened is the cost of a heat pump in comparison to an air conditioner has been reduced. So nowadays, in my opinion, it’s a it’s a benefit to have a heat pump instead of an air conditioner in every home.

Heat pumps use a small amount of electricity to gather the heat that exists outside, concentrate it and, move it into the home. So you’re not actually producing the heat. You’re only using the amount of electricity it takes to move the heat that already exists and that’s free outside and move it into your home. That’s why a heat pump can save a considerable amount of money.

K&S works with several different brands Bryant Carrier, Lennox, Amana, Daikin, all good brands. We sell some more than others. However, all of them make pumps and all of them make gas furnaces. And of course, all of them make air conditioners as well. It really doesn’t necessarily come down to the brand that comes down to getting the best value.

What works the best for you? Which product has the best deal right now? And what I can tell you is I can se. We pay very close attention to where those deals are and we make sure that we’re always ready to come to your home and provide you with the best value. We believe that the best value is where people should shop.

As technology goes on, heat pumps get better and better and more and more efficient at moving heat from outside the home to the inside of the home. And again, with all the government incentives that are available out there today, there’s a lot of reasons for people to go to a heat pump. It does all of your air conditioning and in the summertime, just like your air conditioner does.

However, the devices that it has inside allows it to produce. You have some very low cost heat for your home. It doesn’t eliminate the need for a gas furnace. A gas furnace would still act as a backup for the extremely cold days. But on all the shoulder seasons in the Spring and in the fall, the heat pump can do the job on its own.

Currently, the government has a real incentive for people to move to heat pumps, helping people become more aware of heat pumps for multiple reasons. It saves energy. And right now they have a $2,000 federal tax credit available to anybody who installs a heat of over the next few years. There are also local utility rebates available that can also help take the edge off of the cost of replacing your equipment, depending on how efficient of a heat pump you purchase.

There are some rebates from the local local utility company as well.

One can s install as a heat pump in your home. We set everything up for you so the system will automatically choose when to run the heat pump, when to automatically switch over to the furnace, and when to automatically switch over to the heat pump again. In fact, at my home, I said the coolest I ever want my house to be.

And then I set the warmest I’d ever want my house to be. And it turns on the air conditioning to cool it. It turns on the heat pump to warm it up. And when we give them the really, really cold season, it’ll kick the furnace on only when it needs to.

I hope that this presentation about heat pumps can help you understand a little bit more about what a heat pump is, why you might want a heat pump, and why we should at least let you know that they exist.
