Heat Pumps
HEAT PUMPS—THEY ALSO DELIVER COOLING BENEFITS
The name heat pump is a bit of a misnomer because this single unit can deliver additional heating and cooling where it is needed. Think of a heat pump as a heat transporter—moving warm air from one place to another.
Even when winter is at its worst, heat energy is present outdoors. A heat pump extracts this outside heat and transfers it inside. When the summer sun makes your house warmer inside than out, a heat pump reverses direction and acts like an air conditioner, removing heat from your home. The benefit of a heat pump is that it moves heat instead of generating it, giving you significant energy savings while reducing energy costs.
Heat pumps work best in moderate climates, but Merrill Sheet Metal Works offers several options and can pair an electric heat pump with a gas furnace to deliver the ultimate in cost savings and efficiency. Each unit is designed to fit the size of your home and the size of your budget.
