Heat Pumps and You...

Due to the increased cost of natural gas, oil and propane, HEAT PUMPS HAVE BECOME THE MOST ECONOMICAL FORM OF HEATING your home or office.

AIR CONDITIONER OR HEAT PUMP?
A heat pump not only heats in the winter, but also provides you with cooling in the summer!  A heat pump looks like an air conditioner, and it is installed in the same way, but because it contains a "reversing valve" it both heats and cools.  So if you are planning on adding air conditioning to your home or office, do the really smart thing and make it a heat pump instead! Best of all, you can often add a heat pump onto your existing gas or oil heating system for not much more than a simple air conditioner.

$1500 TAX CREDIT!
Because Heat Pumps are so energy-efficient, the Federal Government now offers up to a $1500.00 tax credit to encourage consumers to install a high-efficiency heat pump instead of an air conditioner.  This ends Dec 31, 2010, so call now!

RELIABILITY:
Since heat pumps run year-round to provide both heating and cooling, reliability and quality are key considerations. Buy only the best quality or you may spend some of your fuel savings on repairs. Because they are of highest rated, we recommend American Standard heat pumps!

MINI-SPLIT HEAT PUMPS:
We install and repair mini-split heat pumps. A mini-split is an untra-efficient, ultra-quite wall-mount heat pump designed to handle 1-3 rooms in a home or office.  Mitsubishi is our recommended brand because of its extreme durability, quietness and efficiency.  It also qualifies for the $1500.00 tax credit.     Click Here For Tax Credit info.

REDUCED CARBON FOOTPRINT:
Since Heat Pumps use no fossil fuel, they are considered a GREEN appliance. 

SPECIAL NOTE:  Not all heat pumps qualify for the $1500. tax credit, so be sure to ask your Air Control comfort consultant about which systems qualify BEFORE you invest. 

We recommend and install American Standard heat pumps because of their legendary reputation for reliability and quiet operation.  We encourage you to check their outstanding record at Consumer Reports and see for yourself!

REPAIR vs REPLACE?
If your old heat pump compressor has failed, or general repair and operating costs have become excessive, it may be time to replace the outdoor unit. If so, it is essential to properly match the new outdoor unit and the indoor coil in order to receive full unit efficiency. This often requires replacement of the indoor coil also.   As your Air Control Comfort Consultant for more information.

Modern heat pumps are extremely energy-efficient, so when you replace your current heat pump you can look forward to much lower heating bills and a long equipment life.  Speaking of reliability American Standard guarantees their heat pump compressors for 10 years!

NIGHT-SETBACK THERMOSTAT:
Be sure to also install a programmable set-back thermostat with your new heat pump for additional energy savings of 10-20%.  You will also enjoy increased comfort with a programmable thermostat because your home or office will automatically be at the desired temperature when you get up or come home.
