While you may be thinking that heat pumps can only be used in warmer climates, many large facilities need to run air conditioning regardless of the outdoor temperature. Meaning the heat pump can function as intended – pumping heat from the inside of the building to the outside – even when outdoor temperatures drop below 45 degrees.
Heat pump systems actually work well in northern climates because buildings can reduce their reliance on furnaces. Some rooms may need heat and furnaces, but the interior sections can use the simpler heat pump unit to run more efficiently. A large building would require a smaller commercial heating system when working in conjunction with the heat pump.
The most important factor in reliability of your heat pump system is proper installation and maintenance. Your heat pump is an air conditioner that also provides heat, so in extremely hot climates the pump may experience more wear and result in a shorter lifespan.
In the NYC/NJ area, the more temperate climate ensures your system will last close to or longer than 15 years.
If you choose to eliminate your gas-powered furnace completely, you’ll most likely lower your carbon footprint the most with heat pumps. When the temperature drops below 45 degrees, these pumps switch to using electric heat. While this is usually the more expensive heating option, electricity can be sourced by renewable resources while furnaces require fossil fuels.
Many environmentalists consider heat pumps more eco-friendly because they produce both hot and cold air, as opposed to most systems primarily offering one or the other.
When heating with forced hot air through a duct system, any dust particles or debris lining the ducts will get pushed through the system and into your air. Heat pumps can operate without ducts, so freshly filtered air stays clean as it travels throughout the building.
While typically a bigger problem, the air quality can be compromised by a gas leak or exhaust when heating with gas or oil.
