Tulsa ok - Heat Pump Energy-Saving Rebates
If you are curious about heat pumps, but don't know whether they are a viable option for your Tulsa-area home, we have a few facts that might pique your interest.
They work for both heating and air conditioning. Heat pumps may deal with heat, as the name suggests, but that doesn't mean they are useful only during the winter. They can pump heat into your house, but they can also pump heat out of it. And removing heat from a house is actually how all air conditioning systems work, because "cold" is not a thing you can produce; "cold" is simply the absence of heat. So, one heat pump can replace both your furnace and air conditioner.
They are the most energy-efficient way to both heat and cool a Green Country home. Because of how heat pumps work -- merely moving heat, rather than creating or destroying heat -- they use less energy than any other type of HVAC system. That means you'll be spending less on your utility bills year round.
There is more than one type of heat pump to choose from. Some heat pumps exchange heat with the air outside your house, and are referred to as "air-source" systems. Others exchange heat with the ground, and are known as "ground-source" or "geothermal" systems. Air-source systems carry a lower upfront cost, whereas geothermal systems offer bigger energy savings to offset their higher installation costs. However, there are also different types of geothermal installations, and some are less expensive than others.
They last a very long time. When we talk about the long-term savings offered by heat pump systems, we really mean long term. Ground-source heat pumps can last several years longer than comparable HVAC systems, and the parts of a geothermal system that are located below ground can last for over 40 years. So, even if it has a higher installation cost, a heat pump can end up saving you money through years of lower energy bills.
