Callora Heat Pumps – Best Investment for Your Home

Heat pumps transfer heat from one place to another. Air source heat pumps move heat between the air inside a home and the air outside a home, while ground source heat pumps (known as geothermal heat pumps) transfer heat between the air inside a home and the ground outside a home. We will focus on air source heat pumps, but the basic operation is the same for both.

One very important point to understand when answering the question “how do heat pumps work?” is that heat pumps do not generate heat – they move heat from one place to another. A furnace creates heat that is distributed throughout a home, but a heat pump absorbs heat energy from the outside air (even in cold temperatures) and transfers it to the indoor air. When in cooling mode a heat pump and an air conditioner are functionally identical, absorbing heat from the indoor air and releasing it through the outdoor unit.

When considering which type of system is best for your home, several important factors should be considered, including the size of the home and the local climate.

Heat Pumps have very high energy efficiency ratings.

Heat pumps are currently the most cost effective form of heating using electricity, achieving an average COP (Coefficient of Performance) figures of 2.5 or more (sometimes in excess of 4), meaning that to achieve 2.5 kilowatts of heating or cooling power, they use an average of less than one kilowatt of electricity!

Heat Pumps have great financial benefits.

A heat pump will most likely save you a lot of money on your annual fuel bills due to its very high energy efficiency ratings. The initial outlay can be daunting and although they have been shown to add value to your property, it’s often a good idea to look at a theoretical pay-back-period. If you don’t see yourself staying at the property or if you are in old age, it may be more cost effective to stay with your current heating system. Do take into consideration the other benefits of a heat pump system though.

Heat Pump systems are likely to substantially lower your carbon footprint.

Due to the fact that a heat pump doesn’t directly use combustion to generate heat (heat pumps do not burn anything), there are no carbon emissions other than those created at the point of the electricity’s production and only a small amount of electricity is needed to run the compressor. This makes a heat pump an extremely eco-friendly space heating / cooling technology. Heat pumps are also more environmentally friendly than ever, as they now use R410A refrigerant which does not harm the ozone layer if released.

A heat pump will help prevent condensation.

If you decide to use your heat pump for cooling in the summer then your room will be automatically dehumidified as a function of the heat pump. In the winter the warm air that’s circulated around your property by your heat pump will also serve to reduce condensation.

Heat pumps help improve your home’s air quality.

As heat pumps don’t burn anything to create heat they don’t produce any smoke or add fumes to the air. As your heat pump circulates the air in your room, the filters clean and purify the air removing dust, mould spores, odours, smoke and other particles. This makes them excellent for people that suffer from asthma and allergies.

A heat pump system is made up of four major components:

The outdoor unit or heat pump – is the unit that sits outside your home and contains the compressor, condensing coil, reversing valve, defrost control, fan and motor and all the systems electrical components.

The air handler – is the name given to the combined evaporator coil, blower motor and electric heater pack. The air handler must be properly matched to the outside unit and should always be replaced when you purchase a new system in order to maintain maximum system efficiency and prolong the life of your new heat pump. If you don’t replace the air handler the outdoor unit will fail prematurely.

The heater pack is the electric heat elements that are installed in the air handler. When the heat pump cannot keep up with the homes demand for heat the electric elements cycle on. The heater pack is also known as emergency heat – in the sense that it can be used when your heat pump has failed.

The line set – The line set is the copper tubing that connects the air handler to the heat pump. The black insulation or armaflex on this tubing keeps it from sweating as the cold refrigerant passes through it. The line set should be replaced whenever possible to avoid contamination and to help extend the life of the new equipment.

Variable Speed Blower Motor – In addition to the 4 major components, you also have the option of adding a Variable speed Blower motor to your Heat Pump System. When you purchase a heat pump you are purchasing a system. The pump outside is matched with the air handler inside. The blower on the air handler is critical to the operation of the pump. That’s where variable speed comes in.
