Heat Pumps Articles

Geothermal heat pumps have been in use since the 1940s, heating and cooling homes in the Greensboro area efficiently and thoroughly. They use the constant temperature of the earth for their heat transfer medium instead of the outside air temperature as air-source systems utilize. Speak to one for our Triad Heating & Cooling heating and cooling professionals about the different geothermal heat pump options available.

Homeowners generally favor heat pumps for their efficiency. However, a number of common issues can cause them to run very inefficiently.

So you are looking to invest in a heat pump. You are not alone––many Americans are making the switch. Why? For starters, heat pumps are generally more efficient than a traditional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. What is more, they offer both heating and cooling, so they are versatile.

Our team at Triad Heating & Cooling regularly gets calls about frozen heat pumps. Though common, a heat pump freeze-up usually means your system’s components are not working correctly. Sometimes you can fix it yourself. But oftentimes, you will need to call a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) professional, like us, as the problem may require a part replacement or complex repair.

What’s the best way to preserve resources? Working with what you already have. Heat pumps make your Elkin home more comfortable by using heat that already exists. It pushes heat from outdoors to indoors (to warm) or pulls heat from indoors to outdoors (to cool).
