Benefits of Heat Pump Technology
Lower Energy Bills
Heat pumps can reduce your electricity use for heating by approximately 50% compared to electric resistance heating such as furnaces and baseboard heaters, translating to significant savings on your monthly utility bills.
Eco-Friendly Heating & Cooling
By transferring heat rather than generating it through combustion, heat pumps produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions and help reduce your home’s carbon footprint.
Year-Round Comfort
Modern heat pumps maintain steady temperature and humidity levels throughout your home, eliminating the hot and cold spots common with traditional HVAC systems.
How Does a Heat Pump Work?
Heat pumps control your home’s climate by extracting and moving heat in the air. Similar to how your refrigerator works by moving warm air out (not by generating cold air), a heat pump can:
- Cool your home in summer by moving hot air outside
- Warm your home in winter by extracting heat from outdoor air and bringing it inside
- Operate efficiently even in cold Missouri winters with today’s advanced technology
- Provide both heating and cooling from a single system
