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.

Winter Heat Saving tips 5

Adjust The Temperature

Setting your adjustable thermostat to the coolest temperature in the winter or highest temperature you find comfortable can seem like a small step, but the energy savings can be substantial.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, reducing your home’s temperature 10 to 15 degrees for 8 hours at a time during the heating season can save you 5 to 15 percent in heating bills each year.

Invest In A Programmable Thermostat

If you don’t have a programmable thermostat, installing one can go a long way in helping to reduce energy use when you’re not at home.

The less your HVAC system has to work to maintain comfortable temperature levels that aren’t necessary because no one is home, the more savings you’ll see on your home heating or cooling bill.

Change Your Air Filters Regularly

Changing your HVAC system’s air filters once a month, or as directed by the furnace or filter manufacturer, helps ensure that your system has smooth, uninterrupted air flow.

New filters can help your system work more efficiently, saving you money in the process. For example, routinely replacing filters in your home’s heating and air conditioning system can account for an energy consumption savings of 5 to 15 percent. For a HVAC unit consultation click here.

Heat Pump Systems and your Furace

For climates with moderate heating and cooling needs, heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative to furnaces and air conditioners. Like your refrigerator, heat pumps use electricity to move heat from a cool space to a warm space, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. During the heating season, heat pumps move heat from the cool outdoors into your warm house and during the cooling season, heat pumps move heat from your cool house into the warm outdoors. Because they move heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can provide equivalent space conditioning at as little as one quarter of the cost of operating conventional heating or cooling appliances.
The most common type of heat pump is the air-source heat pump, which transfers heat between your house and the outside air. If you heat with electricity, a heat pump can trim the amount of electricity you use for heating by as much as 30% to 40% in the Columbia area.
High-efficiency heat pumps also dehumidify better than standard central air conditioners, resulting in less energy usage and more cooling comfort in summer months. However, the efficiency of most air-source heat pumps as a heat source drops dramatically at low temperatures, generally making them unsuitable for cold climates, although there are systems that can overcome the problem.
For homes without ducts, air-source heat pumps are also available in a ductless version called a mini-split heat pump. In addition, a special type of air-source heat pump called a "reverse cycle chiller" generates hot and cold water rather than air, allowing it to be used with radiant floor heating systems in heating mode.
Geothermal (ground-source or water-source) heat pumps achieve higher efficiencies by transferring heat between your house and the ground or a nearby water source. Although they cost more to install, geothermal heat pumps have low operating costs because they take advantage of relatively constant ground or water temperatures. Whether a geothermal heat pump is appropriate for you will depend on the size of your lot, the subsoil, and the landscape. Ground-source or water-source heat pumps can be used in more extreme climates than air-source heat pumps, and customer satisfaction with the systems is very high.
A new type of heat pump for residential systems is the absorption heat pump, also called a gas-fired heat pump. Absorption heat pumps use heat as their energy source, and can be driven with a wide variety of heat sources.
For more information on these specific types of heat pumps, go to:

• Air-Source Heat Pumps
• Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pumps
• Geothermal Heat Pumps
• Absorption Heat Pumps.

Central Heating Maintenance

 The very best idea for Heating and Air Conditioning in Columbia or your city  is to have a service professional out to give your system a checkup. HVAC contractors regularly handle these exact tasks, and they can provide you with a thorough check of your system and ensure that it will run effectively all winter.
Listed below are a few steps you can follow to help your unit run properly.
Before the first frost, test you heater to see if it runs. Contact a professional if you don't feel any warm air coming from the vents.
Check the pilot light if you have a natural gas system. The flame should always be clear blue. A yellow or orange flame could be a sign of a problem.
Always change your furnace filters each year. Dirty filters cause the unit to work harder to push the warm air through the filter, causing your unit to run less than efficiently and possibly break down.
As with air conditioning, make sure there are no drapes, furniture, or plants blocking the vents. Proper flow of air from the vents will ensure that the heat coming from the system will get out into all the spaces that need it.
Clear any obstructions from outside vents to allow for proper air flow.
