Heat pumps can both heat and cool. Simply put, a heat pump is a device that uses a small amount of energy to move heat from one location to another. Heat pumps work extremely efficiently, because they simply transfer heat, rather than burn fuel to create it. This makes them more "green" than a gas-burning furnace. Using a heat pump instead of a traditional air conditioner allows you the ability to offset your "gas fuel" expense in the more moderate heating seasons such as late fall and early spring.

Homeowners have been using geothermal HVAC systems to heat and cool their homes for more than 40 years. The earth, below the frost line, typically stays about 50 degrees F. Using water pipes, geothermal systems capture a consistent midpoint temperature, and use it quickly and efficiently heat or cool your home. This shortcut to ideal home climate is actually moving heat rather than making it from scratch. Most HVAC systems are responsible for more than half a home's energy consumption. With the fuel savings and federal tax credits and state incentives, the system can pay for itself in savings in only 3-5 years.
Whether you need to repair your existing Tank Style Water Heater, replace it, or looking to update to a new Tankless System, please give us the opportunity to exceed your expectations! In a tank, heat is generated from the bottom of the tank and rises through the centrally mounted exhaust. Cold water enters from the top and deposits sediments at the bottom. Over time, the efficiency of heat transfer is reduced as the burner has to work through the build-up before heating the water. As heat passes through a large body of water just once, the tank is limited in its ability to produce continuous hot water.

A "split-system" central air conditioner includes a compressor, fan, condenser coil, evaporator coil, and refrigerant. The system removes heat from indoor air and transfers it outside, leaving the cooled indoor air to be re-circulated. A central air conditioning system uses electricity as its power source. A traditional home comfort system has two parts: an indoor unit, such as a furnace or air handler, and an outdoor unit. An air conditioner is the outdoor unit that cools air and sends it to the indoor unit for circulation through your home.
