Although initially designed for air conditioning, the heat pump can also help heat a home. It does so by extracting heat from the outside air and transferring it into the home. This takes less energy than generating the heat. However, the heat pump's ability to heat a home diminishes when the outside temperature drops significantly. This means that you need an auxiliary heating source when the weather is really cold. When you combine a heat pump with an oil-fired forced-air unit, you can take advantage of a dual energy rate DT.
Advantages
- Excellent value for your money
- Scroll compressor with few moving parts and no piston, reducing the risk of breakdown
- Cycle reversing mechanism that reduces noise levels during defrosting
- Internal coil with thermostatic expansion valve to control unit output
