If you are looking for an efficient way to stay comfortable in your home all year, talk to our HVAC experts at Twin Peaks Plumbing, Heating & Gas about installing heat pumps in Chemainus, BC. Are your utility prices sky-high? If so, a heat pump installation might save you money. Unlike other HVAC systems, one unit can heat your home in the winter and cool it off in the summer. If you have a furnace, it can integrate with your heat pump to provide additional heat if needed.
We called Mike because of a leak with our hot water pipes. He responded immediately, told us what to do in the interim, and was at our place the same day. The work was completed quickly, and at a good price. Thank you Mike!
One of the best things about a heat pump is its energy efficiency. This innovative system does not expend energy heating a fuel source or component to generate heat. Instead, very cold refrigerant absorbs heat from the outside air or ground and transfers that heat inside your home. Electricity powers the motor and fans. Heat pumps come in different makes and models, so talk to one of our technicians at Twin Peaks Plumbing, Heating & Gas if you have any questions.
If you have existing ductwork in your house, we can retrofit a heat pump to use that as the distribution system for the conditioned air. An outdoor unit can connect with eight air handlers mounted in individual rooms with a mini-split system. You’ll need to purchase an additional system if you need more air handlers than that.
The installation process is as follows for an air-source heat pump:
Mounting the outside unit on a stand, concrete pad, or wall above the snow line
Drilling a small hole through the wall for tubing
Mounting the air handler in each room
Connecting the tubing for refrigerant and electricity to the inside unit
Sealing the exterior hole
Connecting the outdoor electrical to the main breaker panel
Adding the refrigerant
Testing the system
The installation process is not a DIY project. There are high-voltage connections and a toxic refrigerant that can cause serious injuries. If you require any future heat pump repair in Chemainus, the system is easily accessible. You should keep the area around the outside unit clear of debris and change the filters in the inside air handlers as often as needed.
