Depending
on your needs and existing system components,
you may benefit from a York split system
heat pump to provide optimum heating and
cooling throughout the year.
What
is a "Split System" Heat Pump?
A split system heat pump is a year-round comfort
system. In the summer it draws heat out of
your home to keep it cool, and in the winter
it draws heat from outside air into your home
to keep it warm. Many heat pump installations
have a booster electrical resistance heater
that automatically supplements heat brought
in from the outside. Outside air always has
heat in it -- even at very low outdoor temperatures.
Like a central air conditioning system, it
includes a compressor, a fan, outdoor coil,
indoor coil and a refrigerant. The efficiency
of Heat Pumps is rated using SEER (for cooling
efficiency) and HSPF (for heating efficiency).
A Heat Pump uses electricity as its power
source.
The basic components
of a heat pump system are:
An outdoor Heat Pump
section
A
matching indoor Air Handler
or Gas (natural or propane)
or Oil Furnace with coil
Ductwork
to transfer the heated or cooled air throughout
the home.
York
offers a wide variety of split system heat
pumps in different sizes and efficiencies.
