A heat pump is quite different from your standard furnace or boiler, in that it can heat as well as cool your home. Several factors can determine how much a new heat pump installation will cost, but the type of heat pump you choose has the largest impact. Our expert HVAC technicians at Idaho Plumbing, Heating & Air will help you narrow down the best heat pump options for your home. The 4 main types of new heat pump installations available are:
Typically the most common heat pump to install, air-to-air heat pumps absorb heat directly from the outside air and move it inside to heat your home. Air-source heat pumps can be installed into ductless or ducted systems and are more fuel-efficient than a furnace or boiler, as they lack any combustible components by using electricity to power them.
Ground-source heat pump installations require natural heat from the earth to warm or cool your Meridian, ID home. Piping is laid under your home that is then filled with water, which is circulated by the heat pump. The water is then heated in the winter (or cooled in the summer) by the earth under your home, which stays at 50 degrees year-round. The warmed or cooled water is circulated to the surface of your heat pump, which in turn heats the air and is blown into your home.
Water-to-air systems require access to a well, or other body of water nearby, in order to work. They function similarly to air-source heat pumps, with the exception that it uses a pipe system surrounded by water to extract and dissipate heat rather than through the air.
Another common application of a new heat pump installation is with a ductless heating & cooling system. Mini-split systems can function on their own or they can supplement an existing HVAC system, such as a furnace or boiler.
Heat pumps are an eco-friendly and energy-efficient option that could save you serious money on your utility bills. If your current heating system is outdated or frequently underperforming, a heat pump could be the perfect alternative. Plus, spring is an ideal time to upgrade before the heat of summer arrives.
The heat pump installation process typically takes one to three days, depending on the complexity of your home’s setup. The springtime is an excellent time to install a pump, as our technicians have more scheduling availability, ensuring your home is comfortable in time for the warmer weather.
Choosing the right size heat pump depends on factors like the size of your home, insulation levels, and the local Meridian, ID climate. Our experts will conduct a detailed assessment to recommend the best unit to match your unique needs, ensuring efficient performance as spring temperatures vary.
Yes! Many utility companies and government branches offer incentives or rebates for energy-efficient systems like heat pumps. Spring is a great time to take advantage of these programs as you prepare your home for the changing seasons. For more information on how to save big this spring, call (208) 764-5202 today!
