Heat Pump Information
As a rule they are efficient and cost effective but they do have some issues.
The main one is that they need to be installed by a properly qualified individual.
You do not want a novice working on your heating system unless he is under proper supervision.
This is not a job for the DIY enthusiast.
You cannot just decide to install a heating system.
If you don't install it correctly and it breaks down damaging your property you may just find that you are not insured.
Your insurance provider may decide not to pay the claim as it was your behavior that may have caused it.
So don't be foolish trying to cut costs in this way.
Speak to your Charlotte heating company and you should be pleasantly surprised at how low the costs of installation can work out to be.
Heat pumps come in a variety of different models and it is almost impossible to say which one will suit you best until a full review of your business or home premises has been undertaken.
If you want an absorption heat model you will need to have access to natural gas or propane.
Most air source models are powered by electricity but there are some that work off geothermal heat, a relatively new but very popular alternative to electricity and gas.
Usually there are two units in a heat pump installation.
One is situated indoors while the other remains outside.
The two are connected via thermally insulated copper tubing.
These tubes need to be able to withstand freezing temperatures used to cool the air.
Your Charlotte heating and air contractor will explain all the different systems on the market and work with you to find the best solution for your particular needs.
