Forget Your Furnace...

Cool weather is upon us, and you're suddenly remembering how weak your furnace was before Spring hit. Before picking up the phone to call a professional in furnace repair in Summit NJ, consider replacing your furnace with a heat pump system. They differ from furnace systems in that they do no create heat by burning fuel, but rather transfer heat from one area to another. Therefore, they use much less energy than traditional furnaces or boilers. Under the perfect conditions, a heat pump system can reduce your home's energy consumption by up to forty percent. Ground-source, or geothermal heat pump systems use underground heat as an energy source. You should first make sure that a system like this is compatible with your home. If you live in a region where the temperature drops below freezing, it will not be effective. Heat pump systems work much better on homes that are in mild or moderately cold climates.
