Installing a heat pump in your home could save you hundreds of dollars a year — here's how to get one.
A heat pump is a type of HVAC — heating, ventilation, and air conditioning — unit. It can heat and cool your home, and it does so with higher efficiency than traditional HVAC equipment.
The magic of heat pumps all comes down to heat principles. They work by using a kind of refrigerant that either absorbs heat to cool your home or gives off heat to warm it.
Depending on a few factors, like where you live and the size of your home, a heat pump can save you anywhere from $100 to $1,000 a year, according to Carbon Switch.
