There are two styles of heat pumps that homeowners can invest in: air-source and ground-source. The latter is more formally called geothermal and is reliable in any weather environment because it extracts heat from the soil. However, geothermal systems can be expensive and very labor-intensive to install. Air-source heat pumps are very popular due to their high affordability. These systems extract heat from the air and are efficient in mild climates.
A heat pump has many different components that all work together to deliver treated air throughout your home:
Indoor air handler
Evaporator coil
Refrigerant lines
Outdoor condenser unit
Compressor
Condenser coils
There are both ducted and ductless models. Ducted systems work by circulating treated air through a series of air ducts that connect to each main room of your home. On the other hand, ductless mini-split systems use multiple indoor air handler units. Each mini-split unit provides heating or cooling to your home’s particular room or zone. The beauty of ductless mini-splits is they work without the need for ductwork, which is ideal for older homes that don’t have it.
A heat pump works thanks to a substance known as refrigerant. In the summertime, the indoor air handler unit will use its blower components to pull air from your home into your ducting and over the evaporator coil. Inside the evaporator coil is a substance known as refrigerant. As hot air passes over the evaporator coil, its heat naturally moves to the low-pressure refrigerant.
The now-hot refrigerant will turn into gas and reach the outdoor condenser unit. At this point, the refrigerant passes through a condenser coil. The outdoor unit uses its blower components to force low-pressure air from outside over the coils. Heat will naturally move from the high-pressure refrigerant to the low-pressure air outside. The refrigerant is pumped back into your home via the outdoor unit’s compressor pump. No matter which of these components has a problem, our technicians are experts who can get it fixed fast.
