Your heat pump does a lot for your home comfort, especially since it’s used for both heating and cooling. That’s a lot of stress for one system, and as we all know, sometimes that stress is enough to damage an HVAC system.
Heat pumps are different from your standard AC or heater. Heat pump repair in Savannah, GA might be required if your heat pump isn’t switching modes like you want it to.
Let’s run through some of the most common problems with heat pumps and what we can do about them.
The last time we spoke, we were talking about air conditioners. While temperatures might have dropped substantially since then, we’re still technically talking about air conditioners. Or, rather, air conditioners that can heat your home as well.
Most homeowners that own heat pumps know that their system can also heat their home. However, those who are just starting to look at the field of new heaters for their home might not know this bit of information. In fact, they might be confused as to how an air conditioning system could heat their home!
Well, fear not. Heating in Rincon, GA is our specialty and so are heat pumps. We’re going to talk about the technical aspect of heat pumps and how they can heat your home. Keep bills low, efficiency levels high, and your home comfortable this winter with a heat pump!
Heat pumps are exceptional pieces of technology that work on moving heat from one location to another. While this might remind you of how an air conditioner works, you’d be right, except with one small correction—heat pumps work in the wintertime as well as in the summertime. If you’re asking yourself how that’s possible, then you’re starting to ask the right questions!
Heat pump technology is no secret, and in an effort to inform you, we’re going to talk about how these systems work. We don’t want to provide HVAC service in Savannah, GA to homeowners that think we’re selling them a system that doesn’t work. We want to explain the process behind heat pump technology, how it can be incredibly efficient, and how homeowners are learning to take advantage of these systems today.

Okay sure, installing two heaters may sound a bit overboard. But actually, the truth of the matter is that having two different heaters can actually make your home more energy efficient. But how?
It’s called dual-fuel hybrid heating, which combines an electric heat pump with a traditional furnace to maximize your home’s energy efficiency during the winter. Installing a dual-fuel heating system in your home can definitely be a worthwhile investment, especially if you are dealing with an especially cold winter. Below, we have outlined what these systems are and what the benefits are. Keep reading to learn more.
Temperatures aren’t quite cool enough to start using our heaters regularly, yet, but soon enough you’ll be switching yours on. If you’re using a heat pump, this means switching the system from cooling mode to heating mode. But, what happens if your Savannah, GA heat pump is stuck in cooling mode?
Fortunately, you do have our team to call on when you have a problem like this, or any other sort of trouble with your HVAC system. In the meantime, however, read on for an explanation as to why this might be happening.
If you’ve got an older heating system, you’ve probably got one big thought any time it starts to run into trouble: “I hope it’s not broken down for good!” The last thing you want to do is replace a heater, as this is usually an expense you haven’t planned for. However, a repair isn’t always the best thing. And a new heater may not be as expensive as you think!
Finding out you may need a new heater is certainly no picnic, but it may not be as bad as you think. There are some ways to save money, if not on your installation then in the long-term. At the very least, there are ways to make the whole process more affordable upfront.
Every home has unique heating and cooling needs, requiring a different system for homes of different shapes and sizes. The biggest heating system or cooling system is not necessarily the best. In fact, choosing an air conditioner or heater that is too large for your home can result in short cycling—the system running too often and wearing down its parts. And of course, a system that is too small will not do a sufficient job of heating or cooling your home.
While homeowners will choose different efficiency ratings for their comfort systems based on what they can afford, and while sizing changes based on the size of the home, there is still one type of system we recommend time and time again. In our area, the heat pump is the way to go.
This is a question that puzzles many homeowners. If you’ve ever found it odd that the outside unit of your comfort system runs when you turn on the heat, you are not alone. It’s not something most people are used to, especially if they grew up with a furnace to heat the home. A furnace is separate from an air conditioner, and it contains an indoor unit only (with no outside portion).
But a heat pump is different. A heat pump is an all-in-one heating and air conditioning system. And most of the same components that are used for air conditioning are also used for heating. That means that you can expect to hear the outside unit running when the heat is on.
What makes the outdoor unit necessary for heating your home with a centralized heat pump? We’ll go over the basics here. For more information about heat pumps or to schedule service in Savannah, GA, contact our team.
Many of us grew up with conventional furnaces as whole-house heating systems. This system is separate from an air conditioner, which means that—of course—the air conditioning unit does not run when the heater does.
However, a heat pump is different. It’s an all-in-one heating and air conditioning system that utilizes refrigerant in a process that completes two different tasks, heating and cooling. You may be surprised to hear your outdoor unit running when the heat comes on—but that’s just how it works.
