Heat Pump Articles

Heat pumps are much more efficient, using up to 50 percent less energy than furnaces or baseboard heaters, according to the US DOE.

Not only do heat pumps generate heat, but they can also pump out cool air. What’s more, a new heat pump can cut your Oregon energy costs by up to 50 percent when you make the switch from a furnace or baseboard heater, according to the US Department of Energy (DOE).

If you are in the market for a new heat pump, efficiency is probably a key factor in your search. The Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) has a universal ranking system for heating and cooling units that serves to help. 

So you are looking to invest in a heat pump. You are not alone––many Americans are making the switch.

One reason Oregon homeowners love heat pumps is they function as an all-in-one unit. Instead of purchasing and maintaining a separate furnace and air conditioning system, you can simply transition your heat pump from the heat setting to the cooling setting and vice versa as seasons warrant.
