Please contact us at Small Solutions, LLC Heating and Air Conditioning to discuss your energy-saving needs using the following types of heat pumps:

  • Air-Source Heat Pump
  • Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pump

For climates with moderate heating and cooling needs, heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative to furnaces and air conditioners. Like your refrigerator, heat pumps use electricity to move heat from a cool space into a warm, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. During the heating season, heat pumps move heat from the cool outdoors into your warm house; during the cooling season, the pumps move heat from your cool house into the warm outdoors. Because they move heat rather than generate heat, they can provide up to 4 times the amount of energy they consume.

Air-Source Heat Pump

The most common type of heat pump is the air-source heat pump, which transfers heat between your house and the outside air. If you heat with electricity, a heat pump can trim the amount of electricity you use for heating by as much as 30%–40%. High-efficiency heat pumps also dehumidify better than standard central air conditioners, resulting in less energy usage and more cooling comfort in summer months. However, the efficiency of most air-source heat pumps as a heat source drops dramatically at low temperatures, generally making them unsuitable for cold climates, although there are systems that can overcome that problem.

Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pump

For homes without ducts, air-source heat pump are also available in a ductless version called a ductless mini-split heat pump. In addition, a special type of air-source heat pump called a “reverse cycle chiller” generates hot and cold water rather than air, allowing it to be used with radiant floor heating systems in heating mode.
