A heat pump may be a greatly beneficial addition to your home, serving as an alternative to a central air conditioner to keep you comfortable when temperatures do heat up. Working with Vanco in the Greater Vancouver area, you can learn if a heat pump is right for your home after a complete home energy audit, which can pay off with ongoing savings for your heating and cooling costs.

A heat pump works by moving air from one space to another rather than using energy to generate heat or cool down warm air. Heat pumps may be used during the winter or summer months, and they work by transferring cool air either into or out of the house, depending on the season.

By transferring heat instead of generating it, you might reduce your electricity use at home by 30-40%. Not only does this translate to the cost benefits discussed above, but it helps you reduce the carbon footprint of your home to protect the environment for years to come.
