Ducted heat pumps are a great way to add heating and cooling to your entire Pennsylvania home with just one system. They can replace both your furnace and central AC and integrate right into the existing ductwork, providing direct, highly efficient comfort throughout your residence.
From installation to maintenance, MW Mechanical has you covered. We’re a local, proudly independent business that uses a data-driven, building science approach to provide the best solutions for our customers. Proudly serving Pittsburgh, the Alle-Kiski Valley, and Kittanning, we’re ready to put our expertise to work for your family.
How Are Heat Pump Systems Different?
Electric heat pumps offer all-in-one heating and cooling while using far less energy than traditional furnaces / central air conditioner combos.
In the summer, heat pumps work just like an AC, removing heat from indoor air and sending it outside.
But in the winter, the process is reversed. A heat pump takes heat from outdoor air (even cold air contains some heat) and uses it to warm your indoor air. This is different from an oil or gas furnace that generates heat by combustion (burning fuel).
Heat Pump Benefits
The main advantage of heat pumps is energy efficiency. They create two to four times more energy than they consume in electricity, meaning they’re 200 to 400% efficient. To put that into perspective, high-efficiency furnaces are usually only around 97% efficient. The more energy efficient an HVAC system is, the more money you stand to save.
Heat pumps also have the unique benefit of being dual-purpose. No other HVAC system can provide both heating and cooling. This eliminates the need to have separate heating and cooling systems. All you need to do is flip a switch between heating and cooling modes on your thermostat.
Heat pumps can also improve your indoor air quality (IAQ). Since heat pumps do not burn fuel, there is no risk of carbon monoxide leaks.
Ducted Heat Pump Installation and Replacement Services in Pittsburgh, PA
Ducted heat pumps are an excellent option for homes that already have existing ductwork. The heat pump connects right into the system, providing direct heating and cooling through your home’s vents. New ductwork can also be installed to accommodate these types of systems. If your home doesn’t have ductwork and you don’t want to add it, ductless mini-splits are a great alternative that operate using the same heat pump technology.
