Choose Year-Round Comfort With a Heat Pump in Wisconsin Rapids

HVAC can sometimes seem black and white: You have a furnace (or boiler) for heat and an A/C for air. But there are more options today than ever—and some that can take care of your comfort needs year-round. That’s where a heat pump system comes in. Below, the Bryant® experts at ComfortAire Heating Cooling Fireplaces take a deeper look into these systems and how they work.

What Is a Heat Pump?

A heat pump is an energy-efficient way to both heat and cool your home. It works by transferring heat energy in and out of your house, drawing it from either the air or the ground outside and moving it inside. In the winter, it transfers warm energy indoors to keep you comfortable—and vice versa in the summer. Heat pumps are great for year-round HVAC, but they are also handy for those in-between days in fall and spring when the weather can’t quite decide what it wants to do.

How a Heat Pump Benefits You

  • Energy Efficiency

    As mentioned, heat pumps are more efficient than your usual furnace or air conditioner. That’s because they transfer heat in and out of the house instead of generating it. They therefore use less energy, helping you save on monthly utility bills.

  • Eco-Friendliness

    Thanks to that same transference of energy, a heat pump can help reduce your household carbon dioxide emissions. In fact, according to one study, heat pumps can help reduce the carbon footprint of 98 percent of homes.

  • Year-Round Comfort

    Who doesn’t love a good all-in-one system? With a heat pump, you get the benefit of having one unit handle all your needs no matter the time of year.

  • Even Temperatures

    Heat pumps tend to have longer run cycles than more traditional furnaces and A/Cs. That leads to fewer temperature fluctuations—and it gives the air more time to circulate and even out across your house.

FAQs

If your system is older than 10 years and in need of frequent repair, it’s probably time. Replacement should also be considered when major repairs are needed.

Routine maintenance should be done once a year. Most homeowners schedule service in early fall so their systems are ready for the upcoming winter, but it can be done at any time of the year. We recommend getting it done earlier in the year to get ahead of the late-season rush.

If you have a standard one-inch filter, replace it once every one to three months—or more often if you have pets or smokers in the house. High-efficiency filters can be changed less often—swap them out once every six to 12 months for best air quality.

 There are many factors that can affect the energy consumption of your home, including ductwork leakage and overall ductwork condition. We have ductwork and sheet metal capabilities and offer duct cleaning, duct sealing, air duct repair, and sheet metal installation for a variety of duct systems.

Check to see if your thermostat is set too high or too low. If you’re uncomfortable, call us for help.

Are any of your gas valves set to OFF? If so, call us. Check to see if your system is turned on and plugged in. Check the circuit breakers. Check that the thermostat is on and set to heat. Finally, check the furnace filter to see if it’s blocked. If nothing works, call us for help.
