But first, what is a heat pump? Watch this video to start your learning journey.
It may seem counterintuitive, but this is a great time of year to learn more about these unique systems that use refrigeration principles to heat AND cool your home. If you take advantage of LPEA’s rebates and the incentives offered through the Inflation Reduction Act, you can upgrade your home affordably.
Top 5 reasons to consider replacing your outdated HVAC with a heat pump.
1. It is more energy-efficient
In most regions of the country, a heat pump is the most efficient way to heat your home. Instead of making heat, as a furnace does, it gathers heat outside (even on very cold days) and pumps it into your home using refrigerant. It runs in the opposite direction to cool your home.
2. Help reduce energy costs
One of the most significant advantages of heat pumps is their exceptional energy efficiency, which can substantially save energy consumption and costs. This is particularly important considering the rising costs of propane and natural gas, which are commonly used for heating purposes.
Nearly half of the energy used in your home goes to heating and cooling. Making smart decisions about your home's heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system can have a big effect on your utility bills — and your comfort.
As the cost of energy continues to rise, having an energy-efficient heating and cooling option like a heat pump becomes even more valuable.
3. Know that there are qualified contractors to help with your transition

4. Invest in Your Comfort and the Environment
By embracing heat pump technology, you not only enhance the comfort of your home but also contribute to a sustainable future. Heat pumps operate with lower greenhouse gas emissions and decrease your reliance on fossil fuels, thereby reducing your environmental impact. Choosing a heat pump is a step towards a greener, cleaner, and more energy-efficient home.
