HEAT PUMP
A heat pump is deemed as an air conditioner that can also provide heat when necessary. During cold weather, the heat pump provides heat by moving warm air from outside and moves it indoors. During warm weather, the heat pump moves cold air from outside and moves it indoors to replace the warm air. A heat pump is designed with four main components; compressor, evaporator, condenser, and an extension valve.
There are three types of heat pumps namely geothermal, water source, and air to air. They provide heat by moving heat from the ground, water, and air and moves it inside thus providing air conditioning in your indoors. The air to air heat pump is the most common compared to the other heat pumps.
In the recent past, most companies have ditched the traditional ways of cooling their interiors and have adopted the modern way which is using heat pumps. Installing a heat pump is encompassed by several benefits. This guide will walk through the benefits of installing a heat pump in your company.

Even though the initial installation cost may be expensive, theoretically they will save you a considerable amount of money. They are considered as the most effective way a company can cut its energy cost that is used in heating and cooling.
