How Heat Pumps Heat & Cool Your Home

Instead of generating heat in the same way as a traditional furnace, a heat pump transfers heat between the indoor and outdoor environments. During warmer weather, it operates similarly to an air conditioner by moving heat out of the home. During colder weather, the process reverses to provide heating.

Because one system can provide both heating and cooling, heat pumps can be an attractive option for Nashville homeowners replacing older HVAC equipment or looking for an alternative heating and cooling configuration.

Coolray offers a variety of Tempstar heat pumps to both heat and cool your home to keep you comfortable all year long. Our brief feature descriptions will help you identify the benefits of choosing a heat pump.

Tempstar Performance Series Heat Pumps

This cost-efficient heat pump beats the summer heat and winter's icy chill with longer cooling and heating cycles. It keeps temperatures even throughout the house and summer humidity at a minimum. And when outdoor conditions are more extreme, it kicks into high gear to keep you cozy all year long. With up to 17.5 SEER cooling and up to 9.5 HSPF heating efficiency, it can put your electric bills on ice as well.

Choosing the Right Heat Pump for Your Nashville Home

Heat-pump selection should consider more than the advertised efficiency rating. Home size and layout, insulation, existing ductwork, electrical capacity, desired comfort features, and the condition of the current HVAC system can all affect equipment selection.

Coolray can evaluate these factors and recommend an appropriately sized heat pump based on the home's heating and cooling requirements.

Heat Pump Installation & Replacement

Proper installation is important to heat-pump performance. The system should be correctly sized and integrated with the home's ductwork, thermostat, electrical system, and other HVAC components.

If you're replacing an existing air conditioner, furnace, or heat pump, Coolray can evaluate the current equipment and explain which replacement configurations are appropriate for your home.

Heat Pump FAQs

 

Can a heat pump both heat and cool my home?

Yes. A heat pump can provide cooling during warmer weather and reverse operation to provide heating during colder weather.

Is a heat pump the same as an air conditioner?

The systems operate similarly during cooling, but a heat pump can reverse its refrigeration cycle to provide heating as well.

Can a heat pump work with a gas furnace?

Yes. Certain heat pumps can be paired with a compatible gas furnace in a dual-fuel system.

How do I know what size heat pump I need?

Heat-pump sizing should be based on the home's heating and cooling load rather than square footage alone. Insulation, windows, layout, ductwork, and other factors should be considered.

Do heat pumps need regular maintenance?

Yes. Because heat pumps operate during both heating and cooling seasons, routine professional maintenance can help evaluate system condition and identify developing problems.
