In our world, your summer might be overshadowed by a defunct air conditioner. A faulty air conditioner can really ruin your whole summer. It can be hard to get comfortable at night if you\u2019re sweltering without the assistance of a great AC unit.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re choosing to skip out on running your air conditioning system because you don\u2019t want to pay an arm and a leg for your air conditioning services, it\u2019s time to consider a heat pump. We specialize in <a href=\"\/service-areas\/east-brunswick-hvac-plumbing-contractor\">air conditioning in East Brunswick, NJ<\/a>. We know how to match your home with the perfect heat pump to keep you cool this year. Come to our experts.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s a Heat Pump?<\/h2>\n<p>A heat pump is a climate control system that\u2019s constructed just like an air conditioner. The main difference between a heat pump and a standard central air conditioner is a heat pump\u2019s ability to warm a home as well. That\u2019s right! A heat pump can reverse the direction that your refrigerant flows to heat your air conditioner from the same unit. Heat pumps are also great because the way they work is a little different than a standard system. They\u2019re a lot more energy efficient because of it.<\/p>\n<h2>Why You Should Make the Switch<\/h2>\n<p>Heat pumps are great for your home because they boast a myriad of benefits including the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>They\u2019re Energy-Efficient<\/strong>: Heat pumps use a lot less energy that a standard central air conditioner or a heater because they move heat rather than generate it. For example, in summer a heat pump will move all the warm air inside your home outdoors to bring the temperature down. In winter, a heat pump will draw in the warm air from outdoors into your home to raise the temperature.<\/li>\n<li><strong>They Heat <em>and <\/em>Cool<\/strong>: We stated this in the explanation of heat pumps above, however, we really like to double down on this facet of heat pumps because it\u2019s such a unique factor. Heat pumps are capable of keeping your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer all from <em>one unit<\/em>. This is great because you only have to buy, service, and repair one single system rather than a standard temperature control set up (a furnace and a central air conditioner) to keep yourself comfortable. This level of convenience makes heat pumps incredibly popular.<\/li>\n<li><strong>They\u2019re Cost-Effective<\/strong>: Energy efficiency is in direct correlation with the cost of your cooling. Running a heat pump in your home can greatly reduce the price of your monthly energy bills. The cost-saving benefits of your heat pump won\u2019t just stop in summer either\u2014these benefits extend year-round because your heat pump heats and cools. It\u2019s a great deal for your home! Make sure you consider this option for your home before you upgrade your AC unit this year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Contact Scaran if you\u2019d like to install a heat pump this summer. <a href=\"\/contact-us\/service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Schedule an appointment with us today.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A heat pump is a great option for your home.
