Californians are increasingly interested in reducing home energy use through efficiency and electrification measures. As a result, many are turning their attention to mini split heat pumps for efficient heating and cooling.
Because of the climate around Davis, Dixon, and Vacaville, California, most properties are well-qualified to add one or more heat pumps. If you’re curious if your home is prepared for heat pump installation, you’ve come to the right place to find out—Greiner Heating, Air, and Electric is your local expert for all things mini split heat pumps.
First, How Does a Heat Pump Work?
Heat pumps are more efficient than typical air conditioners because they move heat, rather than create it. Mini splits, a type of heat pump, are made up of an interior air handler with a fan and evaporator, an exterior compressor, and a refrigerant line running between the indoor and outdoor units.
To cool your home, a mini split finds and collects heat in your home’s air, and moves it through the refrigerant line to deposit it outside. To heat your home, it works in the opposite direction, collecting trace amounts of heat from outdoor air (even in freezing temperatures!) and moving it into your living space. The Greiner Heating, Air, and Electric experts know how to install the best heat pumps in California to help you achieve impressive home comfort!
