With colder weather approaching soon, it''''s time to think about warming our homes. In addition to a standard furnace, if you are looking for a more energy efficient way of heating your home you may want to consider a heat pump.

Heat pumps not only are an excellent heat source, but they can dramatically reduce heating costs. Here are some things you should know about a heat pump.
 
Basically, a heat pump is sort of like your air conditioner in a way, only reversed. The coils on the outside are cold and the ones on the inside are hot. So, the air that is drawn in from the outside mixes with the hot coils and heat is moved inside your home.
 

One of the major drawbacks with using a heat pump is that it is electric. Therefore, if you are using natural gas or propane to heat your home you may not save as much money in the long run due to the increased electric costs.

But, if your home is electric, using a heat pump is the way to go. You will definitely save on energy costs as well as increase heat and air conditioning capacity. This is because a heat pump will heat your home twice as much using the same power as a regular AC unit.
 
The most important point to keep in mind is choosing the correct size of pump. They are not a one size fits all system. As a rule of thumb, a normal home uses a 3-5 ton capacity unit to heat and cool the home.
 

You will definitely want to shop around and compare prices, as well as energy efficiency ratings. Once installed though, a heat pump will certainly pay off in time. It will leave you wondering why you didn''''t do it sooner.
