Are you considering upgrading your home’s heating system to a more efficient and cost-effective option? Heat pumps are an excellent choice that can provide both heating and cooling solutions for your Langley home. But with so many options available, choosing the right heat pump for your specific needs can feel overwhelming. To make it a bit easier, we are sharing some of the most important considerations.

Consideration #1: Size of Your Home

The size of your home is one of the most important factors in choosing the right heat pump. The larger it is, the bigger the capacity (measured in tons) you will need. A professional technician from Hilltop Plumbing & Heating Ltd. can conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your house to determine what size works best.

Consideration #2: Type of Heat Pump

There are three types of heat pumps – air-source, geothermal, and ductless mini-split systems.

Air-source: Extracts and compresses outdoor air to warm your home in colder months and vice versa during hot summer seasons.

Geothermal: Uses underground pipes or wells to transfer heat into your building.

Ductless systems: Transfers the air from outdoors to indoors and uses heat exchanger coils to achieve a desired temperature.

Consideration #3: Energy Efficiency Ratings

Another factor you may want to consider when selecting a new heat pump should be its energy efficiency rating. A description of each product’s performance should be based on its Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). Moreover, Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSFP) shows how efficiently devices perform during cold months because they measure heating output rather than cooling ability.

Do Not Be Afraid To Get a Professional Opinion

Whichever type of heat pump best suits you depends on specific parameters such as location, budget, house size, and age.
