The Cold Elements

Heat Pumps

Honestly, the Columbia area heat pump is the outdoor piece of your heating and cooling system in which is a compressor also.A heat pump works with an indoor piece of equipment called the air handler. As the name mirrors, the air handler moves the air through your ductwork. In order to get the best performance out of a system, manufacturers carefully design these two components to work together. When one piece of the system has outlived its useful life and will cost more to repair than it’s worth, the entire system is replaced. It’s so important that they be matched that it’s a requirement of the South Carolina Building Code and is usually a requirement to keep the warranty valid.
Furnace
Residents of Columbia who have been around both gas heat and a heat pump know that gas is a different kind of heat. I guess the word used most often about it is that it’s a “warmer” heat. In fact it is warmer as it comes out of the registers.  a gas furnace will put out heat at a high constant temperature until your house reaches the thermostat setting. That’s the nice, toasty warm feeling typically associated with a gas furnace. A heat pump on the other hand puts out heat that is much closer to the actual thermostat setting and depends very much on the temperature outside. If the thermostat says 70 degrees, that’s what the heat pump is trying to put into your house though it struggles when it’s really cold out. There is a system that takes advantage of the best of both worlds called “dual fuel” or a hybrid system. For more in furnace repair and replacement in Columbia SC Click Here.

More Heat Savings Tips

 Seal Window And Door Drafts  

Most people think about stopping air infiltration in colder winter months, but it’s also crucial during AC season. Any air leak in your home robs your HVAC system of efficiency since that heated or cooled air is lost. With that, it is imperative that all windows are shut and that all doors have good weather seals before turning on the HVAC system.

Invest In Insulation

Particularly in older homes, inadequate insulation is another factor that can lead to losing heated or cooled air from the HVAC system. If you’re unsure about your home’s insulation levels, consult with an energy auditor or insulation professional for guidance.

Keep Return Air Vents Object Free

Keep your supply and return air vents free of objects like clothing, blinds, carpets, or furniture so your heater and air conditioner can operate efficiently and there is even, heat and/or cool air distribution throughout the room.

Avoid Excessive Use of Exhaust Fans6.

Excessive use of bathroom or kitchen exhaust fans will make your HVAC system work harder. Ultimately, this will increase energy consumption and elevate costs. It is essential to keep costs in check by making proper use of exhaust fans.

 Invest in Window Treatments to Help Control Temperatures      

Window coverings can have a big effect on your home’s heating or cooling load. In cooler months, harness the sun’s free warmth by keeping curtains, blinds, or drapes open on all south-facing windows during the day to allow the sunlight in. At night, close the window coverings to add an extra layer of insulation between the glass and your home interior. In the summer months, keep window coverings closed on all south-facing windows during the day to reduce rising temperatures.
