Heat Pump Repair & Installation Service for Western Kentucky
Heat pumps are an environmentally-friendly alternative to furnaces since they simply transfer heat energy from one area to another. Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling from the same unit, which eliminates the requirement for a separate air conditioner and furnace. If you need heat pump service in Murray, Benton or Mayfield, call the pros at Thornton Heating & Air today.
The Essential Heat Pump
Air conditioners and heat pumps share many basic components. While the coils are modified, the biggest difference is the inclusion of a “reversing valve” that changes the direction of the refrigerant flow. The cooling cycle is almost identical to a standard air conditioner, but when the unit is changed over to the heating mode, heat energy is pulled from the outdoor air and brought into the living environment. Heat pumps work really well in mild winter weather, but efficiency declines quickly once the temperature approaches freezing.
