Heat Pump Functionality
Heat pumps heat and cool a room or up to an entire house with many different models. From wall hanging, floor mounted, ducts, or ceiling cassettes. No more worrying about putting the window unit in the summer.
Heat Pump Design
Heat pumps use refrigerant (like AC in your car) and transfer heat from your house to outside or outside to your house. Heat pumps have variable speed fans and compressors that make them efficient as they can supply more than rated capacity or as little as 18% rated capacity.
Rebates and Tax Credits
Depending on your income and installation, you can qualify for up to $10,600.00. Everyone qualifies for $6,600.00 in rebates and tax credits towards a new installation of a whole house system. We are glad to navigate and explain the rebates and tax credits.
Annual Savings
Heat Pumps annually save roughly $2,000.00 a year compared to oil heat for a house that uses 820 gallons per year and can save you more with other means of heating. Other than wood heat or a natural gas boiler, heat pumps are the most cost-effective way to heat your house annually.
Warranty / Maintenance
With very little maintenance and a 10-year warranty on parts, they are worth the investment. The best part about heat pumps is that they cool or remove humidity in the summer, keeping your home comfortable for all four Maine seasons. We include a 1-year parts and labor warranty on all workmanship performed by C G Heat Pumps LLC. C G Heat Pumps also includes the first cleaning and an inspection within one year of the heat pump installation.
Heating Facts
Heat pumps meet their efficiency rating down to -15°F, some as low as -31°F. Another benefit of having heat pumps is that they provide filtered air throughout the area they service. A misconception is that people think you must keep your boiler on to aid your heat pump to make sure pipes don’t freeze. Heat pumps do not need a backup source and can function throughout the western mountain temperature range alone.
