CALL NOW (608) 480-6157A heat pump is a highly efficient HVAC system that provides both heating and cooling. It works by transferring heat instead of generating it—extracting warmth from outside air (even in winter) and moving it indoors, or removing indoor heat and releasing it outside during summer. A heat pump can replace a furnace as it provides year-round comfort. Harker Heating and Cooling offers the Carrier Performance Heat Pump, an efficient cooling system that reverses operation during colder seasons for low-cost electric heat.
A good indicator if you have a heat pump is if your thermostat has both “heat” and “cool” settings, but there’s no separate furnace or boiler. Additionally, if your HVAC unit runs during both summer and winter, it’s likely a heat pump. Still not sure? Contact Harker Heating and Cooling and a certified HVAC technician can confirm it during an inspection.
Heat pumps typically last longer than traditional heating and cooling appliances, with an average lifespan of 15-20 years. You may notice that you need your heat pump repaired when you’re experiencing inconsistent heating and cooling or unusually high energy bills. You can extend the lifespan of your heat pump with consistent heat pump maintenance.
During heat pump installation, a Harker Heating and Cooling HVAC technician will consider the size of your home, existing ductwork, and airflow to ensure proper heat pump installation.
