Heat Pump System Service

There are three core types of heat pumps used to heat homes throughout the Delaware Valley, and Christian provides trusted heat pump system service for all of them. The difference between them is the medium used: air, ground and water. Air-source heat pumps are the most prevalent and cost less up front. Ground-source heat pumps are more efficient but expensive up front, and water-source heat pumps provide somewhat of a middle ground in terms of both upfront costs and long-term efficiency.

• Air Source Heat Pump
  Among American homes that have heat pumps, air source is by far the most prevalent technology. It is the least expensive to purchase and install and essentially has the same footprint as a central air conditioner. These units transfer heat energy to or from the ambient air depending on whether the home needs to be cooled or heated, and the approach is more efficient than traditional central systems.
• Ground Source Heat Pump
  Ground-source—also known as geothermal—heat pumps transfer heat energy with the earth as opposed to the ambient air. Since ground temperatures are much more stable, geothermal heat pumps are more efficient. Installation of the underground piping needed is still relatively expensive, and those upfront costs are a primary reason why air-source units are still much more prevalent than geothermal.
• Water Source Heat Pump
  While not as efficient, water-source heat pumps are often easier and less expensive to install than geothermal heat pumps. They are not always practical, however, since they require a lake or other relatively large body of water on the property. But when it is option, water provides excellent heat retention and thus efficient heating and cooling. These systems can provide hot water as well.

Heat pump failure is never convenient, but we know that it can happen at very inopportune times, such as in the middle of night or during a holiday when family is visiting. It is for these times that Christian offers on-demand emergency heat pump system service that is available around the clock and any day of the year. Our team will make you a priority and get to your house fast in order to get the heat back on as soon as possible.

The cost of your heat pump service will depend on many factors. For instance, the cost of the heat pump is based on the brand you choose, the type of heat pump you will need, and the capacity of the heat pump. Although many projects may be standard, installation costs can also vary from job to job. That’s because each project requires specific types of equipment, preparation times, planning, and cleanup. The types of materials and supplies can include pipes, fittings, hardware, and even specialty equipment in certain cases. We offer a variety of financing options to help with payments, including interest-free financing, fixed rates with monthly payments, and up to 10 years to repay with no penalty.
