Ducted Systems

To chill your home, air-source heat pumps with ductwork move warm air from the outside to the inside or vice versa. They can link to your home's pre-existing ductwork.

Ductless Systems

Working similarly to ducted heat pumps, ductless systems use a single outdoor unit linked to several internal units to deliver heating and cooling to various rooms within the house.

Air-to-air

Warm air is moved into or out of your home via air-to-air systems to offer you heating or cooling. We collaborate with Mitsubishi and American Standard brands for this kind of system.

Air-to-water

Space heating and radiant floor heating are two applications for air-to-water systems. They convert solar radiation from the outer world into water that can warm your home via floor radiators or hold hot water for use in plumbing fixtures.

In our climate zone, heat pumps work very well because we have a pretty mild climate with few extreme temperatures. They power most efficiently when operating in warmer weather, but they are 100% efficient down to 37 degrees. The more warmth it can extract from the surroundings, the more efficiently it operates. If you are in a region that has snow or extremely cold weather, you might want to install a hyper-heat unit. Hyper-heat units are efficient in single-digit weather.

Do not worry! This is normal behavior for the unit. Typically, when the weather gets colder, heat pumps have to go into a defrost cycle. Coils tend to frost up, causing the unit to lose efficiency. This defrost cycle creates steam that rises from the unit and can be mistaken for smoke. Defrost cycles happen more frequently in snowy or extremely cold weather.

The short answer is that a heat pump does not have as hot a temperature when leaving the registers in the home. When you install a heat pump, you are installing a high-efficiency electric heating and cooling unit that moves heat from one place to another. This differs from standard gas or propane furnaces, which burn fuel to create heat. With a heat pump, the colder the weather, the longer the system will take to warm the home because there is less heat to transfer. Since these units are highly efficient, keeping your system at a set temperature and letting the heat pump maintain a low and slow pace is recommended.
