Heat Pumps in Ladera Heights
Like other California cities, Ladera Heights is working hard to meet ambitious emissions-reduction goals. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), when used globally, heat pumps could reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 500 million tons by 2030.
They’re invaluable tools for protecting the natural environment since they help consumers maintain comfortable, habitable homes and modest carbon footprints.
Both ducted and ductless mini-split heat pump models have many impressive advantages over other HVAC equipment types.
- Less HVAC equipment to maintain
- Less storage space required
- Cleaner indoor air
- Manageable energy bills
Like air conditioners, central heat pumps have indoor air handling units and outdoor condensers. We install heat pump condensers in back or side yards and mount them to composite or concrete pads. Both ducted and mini-split heat pump models connect to indoor air handlers via refrigerant lines and electrical wiring.
Mini-split models can have up to eight indoor air handlers. With these systems, you can divide your living space into as many as eight separate service areas. Each service area or zone gets its own indoor air handling unit and thermostat. Plus, you can control the temperatures in individual zones independently.
With year-round use, every heat pump model requires twice-annual tune-up service. During these visits, we check refrigerant levels, replace worn components, clean evaporator and condenser coils, and test the functionality of reversing valves. Heat pump reversing valves are internal features that automatically reverse the flow of refrigerant when the seasons change.
If you currently have a heat pump installed, it might need repairs if it’s short cycling, producing lukewarm air, overheating, or making strange sounds. You also need heat pump repairs if this appliance is frequently tripping its circuit breaker, emitting foul odors, or causing a noticeable rise in your energy bills.
