A heat pump does the work of both a furnace and an air conditioner. It pulls heat out of the air or the ground to heat a home or office building, and can be switched into reverse to cool a home or building. Heat pumps are very efficient because they simply transfer heat rather than burning fuel to create it. They are very efficient in warm to hot climates such as Georgia and are best used for moderate temperatures.

Heat pumps are more technical in nature than some other types of HVAC systems. When a heat pump malfunctions, it is necessary to call a professional service person to make any needed repairs. Small problems that are not addressed right away can lead to more serious compressor problems later. Regular maintenance of a heat pump, as well as regular commercial or residential HVAC maintenance, is also very important and can help extend the life of the unit. It is important to keep the system free of dirt by keeping the filter clean and by removing any obstacles to the flow of air.

Heat Pump Service & Installation

If your heat pump is at the end of its life or is unable to be repaired, you may want to consider replacing it with a newer, more efficient model. In this case, a dual-fuel heat pump may be the right solution. A dual-fuel heat pump is an electric heat pump and gas furnace all in one. The heat pump heats your home until temperatures drop below freezing and then the gas furnace kicks in. This allows you to heat your home in the most efficient manner depending on the temperature outside.
