Cape Elizabeth Maine Heat Pumps

Many Cape Elizabeth residents and commercial property owners in Maine are now considering heat pumps as an energy efficient alternative to more costly methods of home heating and cooling like oil furnaces and air conditioners. Heat pumps, expertly installed by Laplante Electric, are the perfect way for Cape Elizabeth residents to stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

How do Heat Pumps Work?

How they work is confusing to many people, although it is actually easy to explain.  There are two main parts to the heat pump system.  An outdoor unit contains a compressor that draws heat into the home no matter how cold it is. The heat energy is sent inside the home using refrigerant and a piping system powered by an indoor fan wall unit. During the summer, the process is reversed by drawing heat energy from inside the house and sending it out through the outdoor compressor.

Heat pumps can cover as much space as an air conditioner or heating system at a much lower cost. It is estimated that heat pumps save people seventy-five percent of what they usually pay for conventional heating or cooling. Heat pumps are also environmentally friendly. The Energy Efficiency Conservation Authority has identified heat pumps as one of the most energy-efficient ways of heating your home. A small amount of electrical energy is needed to run the compressor. Most heat pumps have a timer that can be set for typical hours of operation to save even more money.
