Keeping Maine Comfortable
with Heat Pump “Zone-Ability”

The heat pump is about having choices. Frankly, we don’t know why they call them “heat pumps”, because they actually heat AND cool your home. Your heat pump also lets you choose which rooms to heat or cool. We call that “Zone-ability”. If you want the temperature to be consistent in every room in your house, you can do that. If you want specific rooms to be cooler or warmer than others, you can do that too.

Installing a heat pump is the single greatest thing you can do to keep you and your family comfortable year-round. Better yet, you’re not locked into the oil company or the propane company.

Why New Englanders Prefer Heat Pumps:

Use less energy, so you SAVE money on energy bills
Not locked into oil or propane companies
Control room temperatures independently with Zone-ability
Only heat or cool the rooms you live in, increasing efficiency
Keep your home’s air cleaner with ionizing filters
Quiet operation
Reduced carbon footprint
Ductless systems available, if needed
Compatible with existing ducts
Pairs with radiant floor heating systems

According to Efficiency Maine, heat pumps generate:

50% less carbon emissions than natural gas boilers and furnaces,

60% less carbon emissions than propane boilers and furnaces,

And 65% less carbon emissions than oil boilers and furnaces!

How Do Heat Pumps Work?

Instead of using a fuel source like propane or oil, heat pumps use electricity to heat and cool your home.

There are two main parts to the heat pump system. An outdoor compressor unit, and a refrigerant and piping system powered by an indoor fan wall unit.

During winter, the outdoor unit collects and compresses low temperature heat from the ground or air, and moves it indoors to heat your home. In the summer, the process is reversed by drawing heat energy from inside your house and sending it out through the outdoor compressor.

We believe installing a heat pump is the best way to keep you and your family uncommonly comfortable all year long, regardless of how extreme the weather may get.

They also save you money! 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.

AND heat pumps are environmentally friendly, which is important to all of us here at LaPlante Electric. The Energy Efficiency Conservation Authority says heat pumps are one of the most energy-efficient ways of heating and cooling your home.
