I’d never heard of electric heat pumps until he moved south.
I’d always lived right up near the Canadian border where the weather is cold plus wet for most of the year. The two of us heated our home with a gas furnace plus never bothered with a/c. The two of us dealt with sub zero temperatures, snow plus blizzard conditions; Snow shovels, ice scrapers, rock salt plus wool coats were necessities… Our new location is sizzling plus sunny just about year round. The Wintertide brings temperatures down into the forties, however they don’t last long plus every one of us never get snow. The summers are hot plus humid with temperatures that soar into the nineties or even the triple digits. The home every one of us obtained is outfitted with a heat pump. The real estate agent was honestly happy by this plus considered it an asset. I researched heat pumps to understand what every one of us were buying. I l acquired that heat pumps give both heating plus cooling capacity… Rather than burn fossil fuels to create heat, the system takes advantage of existing heat. During the warmer weather, it operates almost exactly love an cooling system. It uses refrigerant to pull heat out of the home plus move it outside. Once every one of us switch to heating mode, the system pulls ambient heat out of the outdoor air, compresses it to a higher temperature plus delivers it indoors. The heat pump is charmingly clean to operate. It minimizes our carbon footprint, keeps running costs low plus provides an especially healthy residing space. The system is whisper-quiet, effective at handling excess humidity plus won’t dry out the air while I was in the winter.
