Heat Pumps
How Heat Pumps Are Different Than Traditional Air Conditioners
Many people in San Antonio misunderstand how heat pumps operate vs traditional air conditioning systems. Here’s a quick overview of how heat pumps work and some of system design differences you’ll find among them.
Heat pumps are all electric and are installed in homes that don’t use natural gas for heating. Don’t let the name mislead you as heat pumps don’t just heat the air. And, they don’t operate like a conventional air conditioner, heating and cooling air before pumping it into your home. Heat pumps efficiently transfer air, moving warmer air outside of your home and moving cooler air back inside your home.
Moving air in this manner is a lot more efficient than the conventional air conditioner process. And, heat pumps tend to operate a lot more quietly, and they cost significantly less to run and generate a lighter eco-footprint than conventional air-conditioning units. You can learn more about heat pumps through the Department of Energy website.
