Maintenance of Your Heating Pump System

In order to maintain the temperature of your home and stay comfortable during cold winters and warm summers it is essential to have a heat pump system. Air source heat pump is the most commonly used heat pump system. It exchanges heat between your house and the outside environment. Better cooling system is provided by high efficiency pumps compared to normal central air conditioners. As a result of this less energy is consumed and better cooling comfort is provided in the hot season too. In spite of this most of high efficiency cooling pumps have low efficiency at low temperature and thus make them unusable in cold climate too.

Heat pump system carries heat from a place to another by means of mechanical system. The current technology transfers heat from low temperature to region of higher temperature. Refrigerators and air conditioners transfer heat from inside to outside whereas reverse cycle pumps transfer heat from outside to inside providing thermal comfort.

In climates which require average heating and cooling demands, heat pump system provide energy efficient alternative to air conditioner and boilers. Higher efficiency pumps can be made using geothermal heat pumps that are also known as ground source pumps. Here ground is used as source for transferring heat. The installation cost of this system is very high. This is, however, compensated by low operating cost. This makes it a worthwhile pump to install in long run. You can hire Long Island HVAC companies for regular maintenance of your heat pump system to avoid breakdowns.
