Heat Pump Installations in and Around Marietta, Georgia

A heat pump is an all-in-one heating and cooling system that can be a very efficient heating and cooling solution. It does the job of both an air conditioner and a furnace. Some of the main benefits of heat pumps include:

  • Efficient: Heat pumps are very efficient in regions with moderate climates, including those found in North Georgia.
  • Cost Effective: Heat pumps use a comparatively small amount of energy, which makes them one of the most cost effective heating and cooling methods available.
  • Environmentally Friendly: heat pumps are considered to be one of the most environmentally friendly heating and cooling solutions.
  • Space Savers: Heat pumps are smaller in size than many other heating and cooling options, so they don’t take up valuable space in your home or business.

How does a heat pump work?

A heat pump is an electric powered system that uses an air circulation and transfer technique. In other words, a heat pump moves heat rather than generating heat. With this method, a heat pump is capable of generating 4 times the amount of energy that it consumes.

Are There Different Kinds of Heat Pumps?

As you might have been able to guess, there are many different styles of heat pumps. A-Team installs all major types, including:

  • Ducted air-source heat pump

This is the most common heat pump. Not only are they highly efficient at temperature control, but they also are significantly better at dehumidifying the air compared to a conventional HVAC system. This system can work with the ducts that already exist in your home.

  • Ductless air-source heat pump

Also called a “mini-split,” this is an air pump for houses that do not have ductwork, (or do not want to install ducts.)

  • Geothermal heat pump

The ground temperature is surprisingly consistent, and these units use that to their advantage. Ground-source or water-source heat pumps literally move heat between your house and the ground or a nearby water source.

  • Absorption heat pump

Also called a “gas-fired heat pump.” These units can operate on a wide variety of heat sources, including:

    • solar-heated water
    • air or geothermal-heated water
    • steam
    • natural gas

There are also many different options within each of the types described.

Some heat pumps come with two-speed compressors which are a huge help if you are looking for zone control (different temps in different parts of your house.) Some heat pumps can use the heat is has captured to heat your house’s water. This feature, called a desuperheater, can heat water a lot more efficiently than an electric water heater.
