Heat Pumps

Heating and cooling your home accounts for over 50% of your average monthly bill. That is why it is important to think wisely about which type of heater to purchase when upgrading or installing a new heater.

A heat pump heater is a very popular and energy efficient heating solution that is available on the market today. There are certain features which make heat pump heaters a very attractive prospect for home and business owners.

On this page we will outline some of those features so that you can learn more about heat pump heaters and begin to decide if it is the right choice for you.

A heat pump is a heating and cooling system that uses electricity efficiently to heat and cool a home. Rather than generating heat, a heat pump will transfer heat from one space to another. This concept of transferring heat rather than generating it uses less electrical output and saves money on your electrical bill.

An outdoor unit which contains a compressor and condenser takes heat from inside your home and transfers it outside during the warmer months of the year.

During the colder months, the exact opposite process occurs. The unit extracts heat from the ground or air surrounding the outside of the home and moves it indoors. In cold to moderately cold climates, there is still enough heat in the air to be condensed and heat a home.

The comfort of your home and business is greatly dependent on its temperature and air quality. The efficiency of your heating and cooling system is what protects you against the natural elements of summer and winter. Without a functioning air conditioning system, your home and business are susceptible to poor air quality and dangerous temperature fluctuations.

Arranging for a regular heat pump maintenance service is a very smart way to use your money. It is an affordable way to ensure that your heat pump system is properly maintained so that you minimize the risk of unexpected breakdowns that can be costly and unsafe.

Things to think about when you have a heat pump installed:

• Change filters often. A filter that is full of dirt and debris causes your heat pump system to work harder to move air, therefore raising your energy bill. A clean filter allows air to pass through easily, meaning your system will not need to over exhaust itself. It is recommended by energy star to change your home filter every three months or so. A clean filter also means less allergens in the air, which equals healthy air!
• Look for leaks, excessive dust, or frozen coils. These can all be signs that professional repairs are required.
• Use your senses to spot any unusual sounds, smells, or fluctuations in temperature.

Whatever your needs and budget, Citi Heat & Cool will be sure to find a solution for you.

Ductless heat pumps are extremely easy to install. They are perfect for wide open spaces and hard to reach places. Many clients wonder if a large unit must be installed in every room in order to heat the whole house. This is not necessary. With so many options on the market today, it is possible to merge ductless systems with small ducts that can be easily installed to transfer heat from room to room.

At Citi Heat & Cool, we always make sure that our work is hidden and discreet so that the style of your home or business is not compromised. We strive to provide a reliable heating and cooling source that is not an eyesore so that you can enjoy your space the way you envision it to be.
