Keeping Your Home Cozy with a Heat Pump: Design 101
Here's the breakdown:
1. Knowing Your House:
- Heat Loss Calculation: This is like measuring your house to see how much "cozy" it needs. We consider factors like insulation, size, and climate to determine how much heat escapes in winter.
- Your Needs: We chat about your desired comfort level and hot water usage.
2. Picking the Perfect "Sweater":
- Heat Pump Size: Based on the heat loss calculation, we choose a heat pump powerful enough to keep your house warm, even on chilly days. It's like picking the right sweater size - not too big, not too small!
- System Design: We consider ductwork (existing or new) and hot water needs to ensure everything works smoothly together.
3. Installation:
Our certified technicians install the heat pump and connect it to your existing systems. It's like putting on the sweater and making sure it fits just right.
The Heat Loss Calculation: Key Points
- Think of it as a heat escape map. We identify areas where heat might be leaking, like windows or walls.
- No need to worry about complex formulas. We use established methods and software to get an accurate picture.
- It helps us choose the most efficient system for your home. The right size means your heat pump won't waste energy!
By understanding your home's needs and choosing the perfect "sweater" size, we design a heat pump system that keeps you comfortable and saves you money on energy bills.
