Moving Heat: Boone, NC HVAC Needs Can Be Met By Installing Heat Pumps


The energy benefits of having heat pumps installed are many, and one can always call on expert Boone heating services, such as Mountaineer Heating and Cooling, to have them installed. However, you need to know a few things before making your purchase. First, you’ll need to decide what type of heat pump to install. Heat pumps work on the basic principle of heat transfer; they move heat from one place to another, resulting in cooling in one area, while another area gets heated. This happens naturally when heat from a high temperature area moves to a low temperature one. Heat pumps can make this happen in reverse to cool a home and also to heat it, if necessary. Most heat pumps are air-sourced, which means they draw or dump the heat from or into the air. The other main type, ground-source heat pumps, are connected to the ground or a large body of water for their heat source.

HVAC in Boone, NC: Proper Installation Essential to Achieve Efficiency


Having an HVAC system installed in your home? Make sure that this is done properly, or risk lower energy efficiency. A recent study by the National Institute of Standards and Technology showed that, while more energy efficient Boone heating and air conditioning systems can potentially cut down energy consumption by as much as 30 percent, this may be for nothing if the system is not properly installed. According to Piotr Domanski, who led the research, improper installation can increase household energy use by as much as 30 percent. The surveys conducted by the team showed that the majority of the evaluated air-conditioning equipment performed well below rated energy efficiency levels due to one or more installation faults. The results also revealed that degraded equipment performance is more prominent in air conditioners, heat pumps, and other related equipment.
