Heat Pumps

A heat pump (an outside unit) has refrigerant lines that help control the flow of hot and cold air. In the heat of the summer, the refrigerant pulls heat from inside your home and moves it outside. In the cold winter months, the system pulls heat from outside and moves it inside. The heat pump uses refrigerants and coolants to shift heat energy. A heat pump can both heat and cool your home. An air conditioner only serves to cool the home.

Furnaces

A furnace provides heat to your home by burning a fuel source, warming incoming cold air through a heat exchanger. Furnaces can run on natural gas, oil, electricity or induction. Exhaust fumes are removed outside of the home through a flue. Because furnaces exclusively provide a source of heat, they must be paired with an air conditioner in order to provide heating and cooling year-round for your home.

Satisfied with the Great Job

I have been wanting a Mini split AC for my den for a while. Jacob and one other guy from Smith & Keene came to do the job, he explained to me what they were going to do. I thought it was going to be a whole lot of noise going on, but they worked peacefully. I thought it might take forever to get it done & I was surprised. I am satisfied with the great job they did.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a furnace and a heat pump?

Both furnaces and heat pumps are used to keep your home warm. Furnaces are some of the oldest heating devices still used to keep residential homes warm. They convert a fuel source, such as natural gas, oil, electricity, or induction, into heat.

Heat pumps are part of a central heating and cooling system. They use electricity or natural gas and refrigerant to convert heat from outside air inside your home to keep it warm in the winter and remove hot air from inside your home to keep it cool in the summer.

What does HVAC stand for?

Your HVAC system, or home comfort system, has three main functions. “H,” heating your home in the cooler winter months. “V,” ventilating the air in your home.
