Why are heat pumps making a comeback?

Because they just make sense, even in Colorado’s cold climate.

Today’s heat pump technology allows consumers to enjoy cold climate comfort that was not possible even a few years ago.

In this workshop, the City of Fort Collins explains why heat pumps are beneficial for heating and cooling homes. This article will summarize the workshop and demonstrate the incredible utility of these devices that still benefits homeowners today!

How Do Heat Pumps Work?

Whether you're using a heat pump in Fort Collins, CO, or any other part of the world, these innovative devices have the ability to be a cleaner choice for homeowners and business owners vs. other heating and cooling systems.

Heat pumps are aptly named.  They move-transfer -energy from one place to another using a compressor and liquid or gas refrigerant.  Energy is extracted from outside sources and then transferred to the indoors.  The compressor pumps the refrigerate between two heat exchanger coils. 

What Are the Benefits?

• Heat pumps typically have lower overall annual operating costs.
• They generally require less maintenance than conventional systems.
• They can be safer (No gas or carbon monoxide output)
• Lower carbon emissions
• Can have very quiet operations.
• One system can provide both heating and cooling.

Another benefit of heat pumps is that they don't require gas making them ideal for off-grid settings. 

Overall, heat pumps are a small, low-profile, ideal option for those interested in green living and economizing. They're energy-efficient, cost-effective, and, best of all, clean. Consider using this option for fast results. Will you be changing to a heat pump soon?
