A Spotlight on the Dave Lennox Signature Collection SL18XP1 Heat Pump

If you are in the market for a new HVAC system, you might be wondering what specific equipment will best meet your home’s needs — something that gives you both flexibility and functionality minus the hefty price tag.

This article discusses why a heat pump can be just what you’re looking for.

Four Seasons Air Specialists is your friendly HVAC company in North Oaks MN that offers all kinds of home comfort systems, including heat pumps.

What is a heat pump and how does it work?

A heat pump is a device that transfers heat from a colder area to a hotter area by using mechanical energy. Instead of making heat, a heat pump pulls it from the outside. Your refrigerator is a good example of a one-way heat pump. It removes heat from the air inside the refrigerator and transfers it to the coils on the outside of the refrigerator.

With a heat pump, you have a new way to heat or cool your home with minimal equipment and lower utility costs.

Since a heat pump does not create heat or cold air (it just moves it from one place to another), it gives you greater energy-efficiency. In the winter, a heat pump extracts the heat from the outside and moves it to the inside. Interestingly, there is still some heat in the air even if the temperature goes sub-zero. When it’s hot outside, it functions the same way a refrigerator does and removes the heat from the inside.
