What can heat pumps do for you?

There are multiple types of heat pumps for heating and cooling the air in your home, and all function in a similar way. In colder months, these heat pumps move heat from the outdoors into your home and during warmer months, move heat back outside. Heat pumps can, on average, reduce your electricity use for heating by about 50%.

Water Heating

Heat pump water heaters, also known as "hybrid" water heaters, transfer heat from the air surrounding your water heater into the water in the tank in an energy efficient way. During periods of high demand for hot water, the heat pump water heater utilizes standard electric resistance heating elements as backup. Thus, keeping your water a comfortable and consistent temperature while using less energy and saving you money.

Heat Pump Dryers are highly energy efficient appliances that are gentle on your clothes and your electric use. By applying heat pump systems to clothes drying, you now have the flexibility to place your washer and dryer where you want, as ventilation to the outside is no longer a factor.

Benefits of Heat Pumps in Your Home

Health: Heat pumps filter the air during the heating and cooling process improving indoor air quality.

Minimal Maintenance: These systems only need periodic filter cleaning and once yearly system checks by the homeowner, saving you money in the long run.

Better for the Environment: Heat pumps move heat instead of creating heat by burning fuel, preventing fumes from being released inside your home. This reduces carbon emissions, keeping the Upper Peninsula healthy and clean.

Versitile: Heat pumps are a single system that delivers heating and cooling to your home for year round comfort, plus provides some dehumidification at the same time.
