I have an air conditioner and furnace, why would I want one? The answer is simple: When you upgrade to a heat pump you are saving yourself money on both heating and cooling your home or office. These units preform the function of both, but they do them better.

How a Heat Pump Works

You see, a  heat pump works off the same principle that an AC unit does. It takes the air in your Flower Mount home and exchanges the heat in it with the heat outside. This ability can be reversed using an special compressor, known as a scroll compressor. When they are reversed it can bring warm air in and expel the cold. While this is a fascinating and space saving design, that removes the need for a furnace, it would usually only be just as efficient as an air conditioning. The difference is in the manufacturing.

SEER Ratings And What They Mean

Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio or SEER is what Flower Mound Texans use to measure the efficiency of a heat pump and other air conditioning units. The higher the number the less energy they use to generate the same amount of heat exchange.  When you upgrade from a relatively low SEER to a higher one you will be saving yourself a ton of money.  Most AC units available on the market today are at a minimum of 13 SEER while heat pumps can go up to as much as 23. That is over half again as efficient, and that means big savings on your energy bill. That along with cutting out a major part of your gas expenses can really cut down on the climate control costs around your home.
