Heat Pump Installation

Heat pumps are a popular HVAC option for Augusta, GA homeowners because they provide both heating and cooling for year-round comfort. They are also durable, energy efficient and environmentally friendly systems.

Energy Efficiency

Heat pumps do not create heat; instead, they transfer heat to and from a home depending on the season. While in heating mode, heat pumps capture energy from outdoor air and transfer the heat into your home through refrigerant. Even during the winter, heat energy can be extracted from the outdoors.

Meanwhile, to cool the air within your home during the summer, the process is reversed. Heat is removed from the indoor air and transferred through refrigerant to the outside. This process reduces energy usage significantly.

Heating and Cooling

For many Augusta homeowners, heat pumps can completely replace their air conditioner and either replace or supplement a natural gas furnace. Manufacturers continue to design efficient heat pumps that perform far more effectively in our climate.

Environmentally Friendly

Many families are focused on reducing their carbon footprint. Since heat pumps do not burn natural gas or propane like conventional furnaces, installing a forced air heat pump reduces carbon emissions. Heat pumps operate on electricity and do not produce any direct carbon emissions, which is better for the environment.

Lower Energy Bills

Because heat pumps don’t use fuel to create heat in the winter, many homeowners see reduced monthly energy bills during the wintertime.

It can be difficult to determine whether you need heat pump repair or replacement services. The HVAC specialists at Atlas Heating & Air Conditioning can inspect your current unit and provide knowledgeable, honest advice about what your best course of action is.

The most common signs you should contact our team for a heat pump inspection include:

Your Unit Isn’t Performing Well

If your existing heat pump is old and running inefficiently, you are likely better off with a new, most efficient heat pump. A new unit will provide powerful heating and cooling for a comfortable home environment.

Higher Energy Bills

If you see energy use steadily climbing or a sudden increase in your monthly energy bills, call the team at Atlas Heating & Air Conditioning. Some issues may be remedied with a tune-up service while others might require heat pump repair. But if your energy bills are significantly higher than the same time a year ago without any significant weather event, it’s a good sign your heat pump is old and inefficient and needs to be replaced.

Frequent Heat Pump Repairs

Is your heating and cooling company on speed dial because of the frequent repairs that need to be made? If so, consider putting your hard-earned money into the purchase of a new heat pump system. You’ll recoup some of the costs of a new unit through reduced energy bills and fewer repairs.

Your System Is Older than 10 Years

Heat pump systems are quite durable, but past the 10-year mark, they often begin losing effectiveness. Once a heat pump becomes more costly to operate and needs repairs far too often, heat pump installation costs are more affordable. It’s always better to replace an aging heat pump now before it breaks down completely.
