I wish heat pump systems were not so extravagant.
I think the major cause is the outdoor unit. For a geothermal heat pump, the Heating as well as Air Conditioning professional has to install an underground loop system. A trench has to be dug and tons of device installed under the sod. It is messy, time consuming and costs a lot hiring out the weird services. The indoor device is an simple set up process, but, the initial heat pump upgrade scares away even the bravest of people. If I lived in the south, I would go for it. A heat pump is amazing in how it works. It moves existing heat energy rather than creates it. That is how the method is the most efficient Heating as well as Air Conditioning chance on the market! Heat energy under the ground is pumped indoors for heating. The air quality is cleaner and dust free doing this. For Summer cooling, the indoor heat is pushed underground outside. It is legitimately effective, however only in hot and cold temperatures above 40 degrees. Since I live in the north, the heat pump would only work for cooling. The whole point of the heat pump is that it works efficiently and is a more than one for a single system. In the north I could do a dual fuel system. I could combine a gas gas furnace with it for the heating function. The method then decides if it uses gas or electric based on the temperature. It is efficient, however you are not saving as much because you now have more than one systems. The high price tag on a heat pump doesn’t seem worth it if it is only an
