Should I be Using a Heat Pump Differently in Winter vs. Summer?

Yes, your heat pump works differently in winter than in summer. Your heat pump switches from heating to cooling on its own, but there are some things to consider for optimized use: Leave the thermostat at a consistent temperature Your unit will run a defrost cycle to melt ice; this is normal Watch for poor heating or significant ice buildup You can wipe snow off the top of your outdoor unit, but the defrost cycle will melt the sides. Do not wipe the sides, as the fins are fragile and could break

What's the Difference Between AC and Heating vs. Heat Pumps

There are many differences between heat pumps and traditional AC and heating. One of the biggest differences is that a heat pump provides heating and cooling , whereas AC only cools, and a furnace or heater provides heating. Heat pumps are also much more energy-efficient because they don’t use gas and require less electricity to do their job. Both types of HVAC equipment will heat and cool your home. The right choice depends on your home's size, needs, budget, and location/climate. It’s best to consult an expert before deciding.

Do I Still Need to Get My Air Ducts Cleaned with a Heat Pump?

Yes, if your home uses a ducted heat pump system, your air ducts need to be cleaned periodically to eliminate allergens and other debris from clogging your vents. With both ducted and ductless heat pumps, however, air filters need to be replaced regularly (every one to three months is recommended) to maintain improved indoor air quality .
