How often should I have my heat pump serviced?

You should have your heat pump serviced at least once a year. If you use your heat pump for heating and cooling, you should service it twice annually, in the fall and the spring.

What is the life span of a heat pump?

The average life span of a heat pump is 10-15 years. Because heat pumps run year-round to heat and cool your home, they don’t always last as long as a typical heating or cooling system. However, you can extend the life span by ensuring that your unit is routinely maintained by an HVAC professional.

Things You Need to Know About Commercial Heat Pumps

A commercial heat pump is a mechanical device that transfers heat from one place to another. It uses a refrigerant to absorb and release heat as it circulates through a system of coils. Heat pumps are commonly used in residential and commercial applications to heat and cool. In the winter, a heat pump extracts heat from the outdoor air and transfers it indoors to heat your home or business. In the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from indoors to outdoors to cool your space.

The Benefits of Using a Commercial Heat Pump

There are many benefits to using a commercial heat pump for your business or office space, including:

Efficient heating and cooling: Heat pumps are very efficient at transferring heat, making them an ideal choice for both heating and cooling your space.
Low operating costs: Heat pumps typically have lower operating costs than other HVAC systems.
Maintenance and repair costs: The cost of maintenance and repair of a heat pump ultimately is lower if you sum up the maintenance and repair costs of an AC and furnace together.

The Drawbacks of Using a Commercial Heat Pump

There are a few drawbacks to using a commercial heat pump, including:

Temperature Sensitivity: Heat pumps are less effective in very cold or hot temperatures. In frigid weather, supplemental heating may be required.
Higher Initial Cost: Heat pumps have lower operating costs than other types of HVAC systems, but they typically have a higher initial cost.

How to Choose the Right Commercial Heat Pump for Your Business

There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a commercial heat pump for your business:

Size: Make sure to choose a heat pump that is the right size for your space. If the heat pump is too small, it will be unable to heat or cool your space. If it is too large, it will be less efficient and may cost more to operate.
Type: There are three types of commercial heat pumps – air-source, ground-source, and water-source. Air-source heat pumps are typically more affordable and easier to install, while ground-source heat pumps are more efficient. Water-source heat pumps are quieter and more efficient at carrying heat than the other two types.
Location: Heat pumps can be installed in a variety of locations. Consider where you would like the heat pump installed before making your purchase.
