How much do you think about your home heating in Clearwater, FL<\/a>? Not much, we\u2019d guess. Tampa Bay is a warm and tropical place, and many people travel from northern states to vacation with us during the winter because of how mild the temperatures are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it\u2019s still a good idea to have a central heating\nsystem for your home to deal with the occasional cool days. If you still think\nthis isn\u2019t a logical route for you, we\u2019d like to introduce you to the heat\npump. It\u2019s an HVAC system that is an ideal fit for the weather in Tampa Bay and\nthe comfort needs of homes. Many of our customers arrange for a heat pump installation\nwhen they decide to replace their old air conditioning systems\u2014and most of\nthose people love the heat pumps and the benefits they bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I thought we were talking about heating, not replacing an air conditioner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When we talk about heat pumps, we\u2019re talking about both\nheating and air conditioning \u2026 because a heat pump does both jobs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technically, a \u201cheat pump\u201d is any refrigerant-based device\nthat moves heat from one location and releases it in another using a process of\nevaporating and condensing refrigerant. An air conditioner is a type a heat\npump because it pumps heat out of a house. But when HVAC technicians use the\ngeneral term heat pump<\/em>, what they mean is a refrigerant system that can\npump heat in either direction. If set to pump heat out of the house, it\u2019s in\ncooling mode. If set to pump heat into the home, it\u2019s in heating mode. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An even simpler way to think of this is to imagine if you could\nhave your air conditioner switch its job around: instead of blowing hot air out\nof the outdoor unit, think of the air conditioner sending the hot air into the\nhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why this is beneficial for Tampa Bay weather<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You need an air conditioning system for the local weather. No question about that. When you install a heat pump to replace your old AC, you\u2019re getting an air conditioner. A powerful one. A heat pump can match the cooling power of a stand-alone AC of the same size. You won\u2019t miss out on any of the cooling you\u2019ve enjoyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But now the heat pump has the small stretch of the year when\nyou need heating covered. You only need to make an adjustment to the thermostat\nand you\u2019ll have comfortable warmth in your home. There\u2019s no need to have a\ndifferent system like a furnace to handle your comfort needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even better is the efficiency of a heat pump when it comes\nto heating. Compared to an electric furnace, a heat pump is a major\nenergy-saver. This is because a heat pump only uses electricity to move heat\nfrom one place to another by powering components. An electric furnace has to\nconsume much larger amounts of electricity to create heating through electrical\nresistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
