Upgrade to an Energy Efficient Electric Heat Pump

For the average American household, almost half the annual energy bill goes to heating and cooling—more than $900 a year! An ENERGY STAR certified air source heat pump heats and cools, saving you energy and money all year long.

Sears Home Improvement is your trusted provider for a new heat pump system for your home.

If you're wondering how a heat pump works, it's all about heat transfer. Let's peel back the layers to understand the process. It begins with the compressor pressurizing the refrigerant, causing an increase in its temperature and energy. This high-pressure, high-temperature refrigerant then travels to the condenser, where it releases heat to the surrounding air or water. As the refrigerant cools, it changes from a gas to a liquid.

The liquid refrigerant then moves through the expansion valve, where its pressure and temperature decrease. This allows the refrigerant to evaporate as it enters the evaporator coil, absorbing heat from the environment. The heat absorbed by the evaporator coil is then transferred to the refrigerant, which changes back into a gas. The warmed refrigerant returns to the compressor to start the cycle anew.

By reversing the direction of refrigerant flow, a heat pump can provide both heating and cooling. It extracts heat from the outside air to heat the indoor space in heating mode, and it removes heat from the indoor air and releases it outside in cooling mode.

Heat pumps are energy-efficient solutions that provide comfortable indoor temperatures while using less electricity than traditional systems.
