What Does a Heat Pump Installation Involve?

After you decide to perform a heat pump installation on your property, a professional HVAC technician can help. Heat pumps allow you to warm up your home during cooler weather for less money than natural gas or propane. The entire installation includes things like an indoor air handler and an outdoor unit.

How Does a Heat Pump System Work?

A heat pump installation allows you to save money on your bill. During cold weather, the heat pump works to transfer heat using a substance known as refrigerant. The refrigerant goes through evaporation and condensation.

On one side of the system, the refrigerant goes through a low-pressure exchanger coil to absorb heat. In the next coil, high pressure causes the refrigerant to compress. This causes some of the heat to be released, which results in your home being warmed.

The 2 Main Types of Heat Pump Systems

Once you make the decision to have a new heating device installed, the next step is considering the different types of heat pump systems. Depending on your budget and unique requirements, you may want a water source or air source heat pump.

• Air Source Heat Pumps: This kind of heat pump installation is known for being inexpensive, which is one of the reasons why it is so popular. It is an ideal option for a moderate climate because it uses the outside air to bring heat into the home.
• Water Source Heat Pumps: With a water source heat pump, heat is dissipated using water instead of air. These types of pumps tend to be less common because a water source is required, such as a lake or well, in order for the pump to work.

How Long Does the Average Heat Pump Last?

A typical heat pump system should last for about 10-15 years. Some heat pumps wear out around the ten-year mark, but many of the newer models can last longer.

The lifespan of your heat pump depends on how well you take care of it. To ensure you do not have to perform a premature heat pump installation project, you will need to work with a professional to perform continuous maintenance on your system. Ideally, you should have a technician inspect it at least once a year to identify and resolve potential problems.

During the maintenance process, the technician will clean the coils, replace the air filters, and clean the fins. To prevent damage to your heat pump, plants shouldn’t be grown within 18 inches of the pump.
