Absolutely! Modern heat pumps are designed to operate efficiently even in freezing temperatures. Many models come with advanced technology to help ensure reliable performance during the cold Meridian, ID winter months.
On average, a heat pump installation with Ultimate Heating & Air takes about one to two days, depending on the complexity of the setup and condition of your existing system.
They sure are! Heat pumps are highly efficient because they transfer heat rather than burning fuel. Many heat pump models boast efficiency ratings significantly higher than traditional furnaces or boilers.
A heat pump is quite different from your standard furnace or boiler, in that it can heat as well as cool your home. Several factors can determine how much a new heat pump installation will cost, but the type of heat pump you choose has the largest impact. Our expert HVAC technicians at Ultimate Heating & Air will help you narrow down the best heat pump options for your home. The 4 main types of new heat pump installations available are:
Typically the most common heat pump to install, air-to-air heat pumps absorb heat directly from the outside air and move it inside to heat your home. Air-source heat pumps can be installed into ductless or ducted systems and are more fuel-efficient than a furnace or boiler, as they lack any combustible components by using electricity to power them.
Ground-source heat pump installations require natural heat from the earth to warm or cool your Meridian, ID home. Piping is laid under your home that is then filled with water, which is circulated by the heat pump. The water is then heated in the winter (or cooled in the summer) by the earth under your home, which stays at 50 degrees year-round. The warmed or cooled water is circulated to the surface of your heat pump, which in turn heats the air and is blown into your home.
Water-to-air systems require access to a well, or other body of water nearby, in order to work. They function similarly to air-source heat pumps, with the exception that it uses a pipe system surrounded by water to extract and dissipate heat rather than through the air.
Another common application of a new heat pump installation is with a ductless heating & cooling system. Mini-split systems can function on their own or they can supplement an existing HVAC system, such as a furnace or boiler.
