Is a heat pump the best solution for my home?
Yes, heat pumps are one of the best home heating options for residential homes. Our climate lends itself to having your system work very efficiently for your home. Installing a heat pump will help you save money on your home heating bills, clean the air in your home and dehumidify your home in hot summer months.
Should I have the air ducts in my home cleaned?
Your duct system is a breeding ground for mould, fungi, bacteria, germs and microscopic dust mites.
Every time your heating or air conditioning system comes on, these particles become airborne. As our homes become “tighter” and HVAC systems become more energy efficient, pollutants are trapped inside your home.
If you suffer from allergies, asthma, sinusitis, dry coughs, sore throats, chronic breathing problems, itchy watery eyes, headaches, it may be a result of poor air quality.
What is the average life-span of a Heat Pump?
How Long Do Heat Pumps Last? As a general rule, the average lifespan of a heat pump is 12 to 15 years. Ultimately, how long your heat pump lasts will depend on how often you use the system and whether it receives regular maintenance.
Will I save money on my power bill if I install a Heat Pump?
Upgrading your traditional home heating system to a properly sized and installed heat pump, can often help reduce your heating costs.
