In our last blog, if you recall, we talked a bit about the benefits of installing a heat pump in your home (which, by the way, there are an awful lot of them!) So this week, we wanted to expand on the topic further by explaining exactly how a heat pump works!
You might remember that a heat pump comes equipped with a reversing valve, which is used to reverse the direction the refrigerant flows through the system, allowing for both heating and cooling, but how exactly does this process work? Well keep reading below and we will explain it to you!
You know what’s awesome? Heat pumps! Yes, heat pumps are awesome! Wondering why? We’ll tell you!
Dealing with a faulty air conditioner is certainly not something you are looking forward to this summer. A broken AC can spell all sorts of trouble for your comfort, your budget, and your peace of mind. Of course, though, things happen, and when they do, it’s important that you’ve got a team of qualified technicians on your side. That’s where we come in!
Here in Connecticut, we know all too well what a humid summer feels like: it’s hot, it’s muggy, it’s sticky, and it’s quite uncomfortable. Of course, it’s easy to brush off humidity as “no big deal” or as “just something that happens”, but the truth of the matter is that you shouldn’t have to suffer the effects of high humidity levels inside your home.
There are a lot of different ways in which you may choose to heat your home. Chances are that you’ve already gotten any necessary heating installation out of the way for the year since, well—we’re already well into the heating season! Whether you’ve just decided that your existing heater won’t cut it, or that heater made the decision for you by breaking down entirely, we’re here to help. Don’t let the weather rush you through your decision, though.
By eliminating the need to generate heat, for the most part. Okay, that’s not exactly a satisfactory answer. We know. But we’ve got a whole blog post to explain, so keep reading! First, let us just reiterate that the heat pump can benefit you in many ways. Only, however, when you schedule professional heat pump services with technicians that you can trust. The good news? The fact that you are reading this right now means that you’ve found them!
Are you building a new home? Are you doing a remodel that gives you the opportunity for a heating system upgrade? Then 
We are huge proponents of HVAC maintenance around here, which you’re definitely aware of if you have read anything posted to this blog before. You also know that we always remind our readers of the fact that heating maintenance is something that only trained, experienced professionals can handle. That being said, there are still some ways in which you can help to keep your heater functioning at peak performance and efficiency levels on your own. Changing your air filter is chief among them.
Window unit air conditioners are still commonly used, but they really are not ideal for cooling an entire home. They are noisy, they leave your home unsecured, and you have to lug them around the house, install them for the summer, and take them out when the cooling season is over. They’re handy for single dorm rooms and studio apartments, but a central AC is much, much better for whole-house cooling needs. Unless the ductwork is in bad shape, that is.
Ideally, you would be able to invest in a great heating or air conditioning system, and then you’d never have to think about that system again. No ongoing maintenance needs, no emergency repairs, no eventual replacement—just a lifelong performance at peak efficiency and reliability levels. Of course, this is the stuff of fantasy—though you probably won’t see it adapted as a big-budget, small-screen series anytime soon.
