Heat Pump Installation and Replacement Services in Spring, TX & the Houston Area
Expert heat pump installation for your Houston home
Hot summers and mild winters make heat pumps a perfect fit for both heating and cooling Texas homes. Unlike traditional HVAC systems that require an indoor furnace and outdoor compressor, one heat pump uses the principles of heat transference to effectively and efficiently heat and cool your home all year long. Since one heat pump doubles as a heater and AC, your initial investment in a heat pump will pay dividends in the long run as you enjoy comfortably conditioned air no matter the season.
How Does a Heat Pump Work?
Heat pumps are a great choice for mild climates like Houston where winter temperatures rarely fall below freezing. Although the science behind heat pumps isn’t new, this HVAC product is becoming a popular choice for homeowners looking for top-notch performance and energy efficiency. A heat pump transfers heat from one area to another to attain the desired temperature in a home. This heat transfer is made possible by refrigerant that circulates between two coils by means of evaporation and condensation. When a heat pump is in cooling mode, which is most of the year in the Houston area, heat inside the home is absorbed and transferred outside. In the winter, heat from the outdoors is absorbed and sent indoors to heat the home.
Reasons You Should Replace Your Heat Pump
Heat pumps are reliable heating and cooling systems that last a long time with proper use and maintenance. However, if you notice the following problems cropping up with your heat pump, replacement might be the best option. Warning signs include:
- The pump cycles on and off too much
- You have to restart the system often
- Belts are worn or broken
- The compressor freezes and blocks airflow
- Heating and cooling is uneven
- Airflow is reduced or restricted
- You hear odd noises coming from the unit
- Humidity levels in the home are too high
