Heat Pumps
All Seasons Heating & Air Conditioning is experienced in the service, repair, and installation of heat pumps in Asheville, NC, and its surrounding area. A heat pump is a device that transfers heat from one place to another, from indoors to outdoors or from outdoors to indoors. For homes with no access to natural gas, heat pumps offer an efficient and reliable solution for heating and cooling.
How Do Heat Pumps Work?
In the winter, a heat pump works like a heater, extracting heat energy from outside and transferring it inside. In the summer, the process reverses, and it will remove heat from your home and transfer it outside like an air conditioner. Heat pumps do this so well that many people in warmer climates exclusively rely on a heat pump for year-round comfort. For those living in colder climates, they use electric-powered heat pumps in conjunction with their gas or oil furnace resulting in lower heating costs.
Heat pumps work with a series of coils drawing energy from air, water, or the ground. In this way, they are very environmentally friendly and are the most energy-efficient way to heat and cool your home. Heat pumps also work extremely efficiently, because they simply transfer heat, rather than burn fuel to create it. This makes them a greener alternative to traditional gas or oil furnaces. Though you may think you’re unfamiliar with them, they traditionally heat swimming pools and hot tubs, so you most likely have come in contact with them and not even known it.
Different Types of Heat Pumps in Asheville, NC
There are three types of heat pumps: air-to-air, water source, and geothermal. As mentioned above, they collect their heat from the air, water, and outside-your-home ground and concentrate it for use. Call All Seasons Heating & Air Conditioning to discuss the basic differences between these types and which one would work best for you and your home.
Are Heat Pumps Expensive?
Installation costs of heat pumps are higher than with a traditional furnace or air conditioner, but the savings over time in annual energy costs make up for the difference in five to ten years. Performing proper operation and maintenance of your heat pump will also save you money, as you’ll use less energy, thus resulting in less cost. Be sure to ask your HVAC professional for the proper thermostat setting and the indoor pump’s fan operation. Not following the recommended guidelines can inhibit the maximized running of the pump and can degrade the unit itself. Regular maintenance can prevent degradation as well. Consistent filter changing or cleaning is necessary for a well-running heat pump. Seasonal cleaning of coils and fans go a long way in preventing poor energy efficiency that can end up costing you more money. The energy difference between a well-maintained system and a neglected one can be anywhere from 10 to 25 percent.

“We had a fantastic experience with All Seasons Heating & Air Conditioning. We had an emergency situation late on a Friday when we called. The dispatcher was very helpful and set clear expectations for when we would receive service. She was able to contact a technician while we were on our call to ensure we could get service on the same day. Austin, our technician, was extremely helpful and very professional. He was great at communicating what he was doing and what we could expect. He spent a lot of time with us explaining all of our options and ensuring we had all the information we wanted. Highly recommend!!!”

“Today we had Jason and Jake replace our 17 year old Heat Pump system with a much more efficient Goodman system. Their expert professional installation and polite customer service assured me that we made the right decision to choose All Seasons. From Aran’s prompt on time appointment to assess our needs to Cody’s accurate installation timeframe, we will certainly refer All Seasons to all of our friends.”

“Had to replace a Goodman unit that was just slightly over 5 years old. Extremely disappointed that we needed to have it replaced but Aran was extremely helpful in picking out a new unit and sending comparisons for different units. Jason and Xavier were very professional and efficient. Had the new unit up and running in about 3 hours. Installation looks very neat and professional. Unit is on legs which keeps it out of mulch, dirt, and water. Every unit and natural gas furnace at our home and zoning issues have been completed by All Seasons! Thank everyone at All Seasons for helping us! They are the best!”

“We had a new unit installed. Both Jason and Xavier were both very professional and very knowledgeable on installing the unit. They were also fun guys to be with. They answered all of my questions and were very polite to both my wife and me. When finished, they cleaned up all of the areas they were working in and removed all packing material and the old unit. I would highly recommend them to anyone. They inform you ahead of time with their photo before their arrival to work on your equipment. Also, the office staff is great to work with.
Regards,
Tom
A very satisfied customer!”

“Austin and Jake were very professional and very friendly. They were through in their approach to diagnosis my heat pump. Unfortunately the news was the cost to repair my system was not worth it because it was 21 years old. Austin played out different options and answered all of the questions that my wife and I had. They are now going to install a system with a higher efficiency. I would highly recommend Austin and Jake as well as All Seasons.
We also use them for our church systems.
