Many homeowners living in Berkeley, San Ramon, San Rafael, and surrounding areas put a great deal of effort into maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing the impact they have on the environment. When it comes to heating systems that fall under this umbrella, it’s difficult to beat heat pumps. Heat pumps are environmentally friendly and can be used to supplement existing heating and cooling systems in your home. They’re a “green” option that can help you to save money on your home heating and cooling costs especially when maintained properly, and they’re growing in popularity with each passing year.

How do Heat Pumps Work?

Heat pumps work by transferring heat back and forth in and out of your home, which can in turn either warm or cool your home (depending upon the season). In the summertime, for example, heat pumps extract hot air from your home, resulting in more comfortable indoor temperatures. The opposite is true during the winter, when warm air from the outdoors is drawn inside to create heat. In many ways, refrigerators operate similarly to heat pumps, and this technology has been utilized by homeowners for years. Heat pumps can result in year-round comfort within the home, and the technology is quickly advancing.

Recent studies have concluded that an increased usage of heat pumps can lead to markedly reduced CO2 emissions. Are you ready to do your part?
