Cold Climate Heat Pumps Deliver Better Performance

Image
Today, there’re more opportunities to use heat pumps in a wide array of climates, including cold-climate zones. All-electric, high-performance heat pumps are among the most effective & popular technologies for decarbonizing cooling and heating, particularly as the industry moves toward strategic electrification & a less carbon-heavy grid. With the assortment of available ducted & ductless products, heat pump solutions are accessible for low-load, new construction and retrofit projects. Dislocation of fossil-fuel-burning HVAC unit is already feasible.  Heat pumps offer more energy in the form of heat than they employ in the form of electrical energy. The competence of a heat pump is explained by its COP (Coefficient of Performance). The higher the COP, the more competent the system. Combustion-based heating units such as boilers and furnaces top out with COPS of 0.96-0.98. Conventional electrical-resistance system might attain a COP of 1, but COP values ...

Benefits of Installing an Inverter Heat Pump

Image
  Making a decision to install a heat pump is big for any homeowner. Replacing the conventional heating system with a renewable alternative makes them spend a lot of time researching the various options available and every other aspect of it. Things like how these renewable heating systems work, how much will they cost for installation and operation and whether they should opt for an air source or a ground source heat pump. Another confusion that overwhelms people regarding heat pumps is whether to go for fixed output heat pumps or for an inverter heat pump? As per experts, the inverter heat pump has several advantages over the fixed output ones. So let us take a look at the benefits of installing an inverter heat pump below: Inverter Heat Pump Units offer Greater Efficiency As compared to conventional heating systems like fossil fuel burning units, both fixed output and inverter heat pumps offer higher levels of energy efficiency. But when fixed output and invert...

What Are The Benefits Of Manual J Load Calculation

When buying shoes or clothes, we generally take into consideration so many things such as the design, material, and even the brand name. However, if the fit is not correct, it’d be uncomfortable to wear it irrespective of how good the quality is. The same rule is applicable when buying a new cooling & heating system for your home. Making use of an HVAC unit that is not suitable to the size of your home can cause trouble instead of giving you comfort as it is designed to do. The solution to this problem is call an expert for a Manual J load calculation to determine the HVAC system that is right for your home.  What’s Manual J Load Calculation? Developed by the ACCA (Air Conditioning Contractor of America) Manual J load calculation is a procedure that’s employed to precisely size up the heating & cooling needed to a keep a commercial or residential building comfortable.  What benefits your home will get from Manual J load calculation? Different residen...
