We know you have many options when it comes to choosing a heating system for your Pikeville, KY home. You want to invest in a system that gives you the most for your money, and one that will be highly efficient and not eat up your energy usage. If you are looking for an alternative to fuel or oil-based systems, each of which could be costly, then a heat pump may be your answer. Read on to see some of the top benefits of heat pump installation.

Safety

Heat pumps are a safer option overall as they are not based on combustion. In addition, with a heat pump you do not have to worry about carbon monoxide poisoning due to a gas leak.

Affordability

Heat pumps use very little electricity in their operation, as they don't generate heat. Instead, they make use of existing heat in the air outside in order to heat homes, transferring it indoors via a heat transfer process.

Maintenance

Heat pumps do require maintenance, but a lot less than combustion heating systems. Routine heat pump maintenance will ensure that your heat pump is always working at top-level for as many years as possible, which is essential as heat pumps have the potential to last many years.

Life Span

As long as your heat pump is routinely maintained and installed by a professional, it could last 15 years or more. This makes them an extremely reliable and consistent source of heat for your family through the years.

Flexibility

Heat pumps aren't just for heating! Heat pump systems use refrigerant to move heat from one space to another: outdoors to indoors in the winter and the opposite in the summer.
