United Garibay Heating and Air Conditioning

What are they?
Air source heat pumps are a type of heating and cooling system that uses refrigeration. This is a common system used to heat and cool a home efficiently. The system includes an outdoor unit that looks like an air conditioner and an indoor fan system that delivers the air throughout the house.

How do they work?
An air source heat pump performs both heating and air conditioning. The general idea behind a heat pump is that when in heating mode it is an air conditioner that is operated in reverse. An air conditioner takes heat out of the air in the house and dumps it outdoors. An air source heat pump reverses that cycle extracting heat from the outdoor air and dumping it in the house.

When outdoor temperatures are above 40 degrees, there is plenty of heat outdoors to maintain a comfortable temperature inside your home. When temperatures drop below 40 degrees the amount of heat that the unit is able to extract from outdoors drops substantially. Therefore, air source heat pumps require a backup heat source for cold days; this backup is usually in the form of a heat strip.

How do they improve your home?
Air source heat pumps are a wise investment because they increase the total value of your home. Depending on the type of air source heat pump that you choose to install, it can considerably lower your monthly electric bill, maintain a constant temperature throughout your home and provide both heating and air conditioning in the same unit.
