High Efficiency Heat Pump Systems

The most common type of heat pump is an “air-source” system. “Split” air-source Heat Pump systems have an outdoor unit, which includes a compressor, outdoor coil, fan, and reversing valve. The unit is connected by refrigerant-filled tubing to an indoor component. The indoor unit contains a fan, indoor coil, and a supplemental resistance heating element.

Depending on whether the heat pump is in Air Conditioning or Heating Mode, the refrigerant moving through the system makes the indoor coils either hot or cold. A blower draws room air in through a filter and pulls it across the indoor coil. An optional electric-resistance heating element can kick on when needed to supplement the heat. As the air passes by the coils, it either gathers or gives off heat—depending on whether the coils are hot or cold. Warm or cool air travels through ductwork and registers into the house’s rooms.

Heat pumps give off heat at a lower temperature than a conventional Gas Furnace, meaning that they offer a mellower type of heat, do not turn off and on with the same frequency as a Gas Furnace, and therefore tend to provide a more comfortable heat. Heat Pumps are controlled by the same type of thermostat used for forced-air systems. On really cold days, a heat pump must work especially hard to collect heat—that’s when the supplemental heater switches on to assist. The outdoor temperature when this happens can be as low as -30C with some systems. In fact, some air source heat pumps today, use little to no auxilliary heating.

The advanced design of today's Lennox Heat Pumps make them a much better option than oil or Propane. Even with a Gas Furnace, a "Duel Fuel" system allows the heat pump to operate at time when it is the more efficient heat source, while the Gas Furnace takes over when may be more efficient to do so. The overall energy savings can be significant. Typical savings can repay the small difference between a heat pump and Air Conditioner in a surprisingly short timeframe.

Climate Works carries several brands and specialized heat pump models. We are sure to have a model to fit your requirements and budget.

Heater in One Unit!

• The Matrix requires less electrical energy to operate than any other equivalent system.
• The Matrix uses a patented high-efficiency heat exchanger to reduce gas consumption by as much as 30% when compared to a conventional system.
• The Matrix controls and optimizes heating, cooling and ventilation. This eliminates the need for separate appliances and their redundancies and additional energy usage.
