The weather in Fort Worth, Texas, brings a little of everything, and temperatures frequently climb into the mid nineties while winter season nights can drop down into the thirties. The humidity is brutal; Even when the temperature is moderate, the excessive moisture makes it feel especially hot & sticky! Fort Worth is the second rainiest city in Texas, & my good friend and I see an average of two inches of snow per year. For the demands of the changing seasons, an electric heat pump is ideal, and a heat pump is an all-in-one system, providing both heating & cooling capacity! It uses refrigerant to transfer heat between the indoors & the outdoors, and during the Summer months, it supplies centralized a/c & does a good job combating excess humidity… When the weather cools off, the heat pump switches over to heating mode & reverses the flow of refrigerant. Taking fortune of ambient heat available in the outdoor air, it keeps the home perfectly warm. The operation utilizes electricity rather than burning fossil fuels, and because of this, a heat pump is quite environmentally friendly. It produces no carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide or greenhome gasses. This week’s generation of heat pumps feature flexible-speed technology, allowing it to automatically adjust output to the exact needs of the home, but rather than blasting at maximum capacity until achieving desired temperature & then shutting off, it runs at a lower speed for longer cycles, then modern heat pumps are wonderfully energy efficient & help to minimize utility costs. They also contribute to air filtration & operate quietly. While the investment into a heat pump is significant, these smart systems toil to pay for themselves.
