The Family Handyman Getaway is equipped with an American Standard HVAC system that makes sure the house can be enjoyed year-round. Keep things clean and comfy with a heat pump If you live in a moderate or mild climate, you may find electric heat pumps beneficial. They're more versatile, energy-efficient and eco-friendly. Healthier and greener Because electric heat pumps don't burn fossil fuels, they don't produce carbon emissions that hurt the environment. For the planet, that means fewer greenhouse gases. For you, that means a healthier way to get comfortable. You live in a home with a furnace American Standard heat pumps use far less energy than other HVAC systems. Some of our models come ENERGY STAR®-qualified, meaning they meet strict federal guidelines for energy use. Learn more about ENERGY STAR® Flexibility you'll enjoy Heat pumps provide a powerful one-two punch. They both heat and cool your home. Just turn the switch to manage what kind of air is flowing indoors. Air handler compatibility Heat pumps and air handlers can work together to effectively circulate conditioned air throughout your entire home. While your heat pump works outside to extract energy from the air, your air handler works indoors to distribute cool air in the summer and warm air in the winter throughout your home. Explore air handlers 5 reasons you may want to consider a hybrid system Join a heat pump with your gas furnace to enjoy the energy-efficient benefits of a hybrid system. Together, they'll work to keep you comfortable - even when things get way too cold outside. Your winters are brutal A hybrid system may offer consistent wintertime comfort if you live in a state or region that frequently gets cold weather. Some heat pumps may struggle to offer all the heat you want when temperatures dip below freezing. Adding a furnace to the mix eliminates that obstacle because the furnace kicks in once the heat pump hits a limit. Your home already has a gas furnace It's possible your house was built with a gas furnace included. Removing your furnace to add a heat pump could be very costly. A hybrid system could be more cost-efficient because you can add a heat pump to your existing furnace. Your utility bills are too high Because they include heat pumps, hybrid systems use far less energy than other HVAC systems. That makes these systems highly efficient, which could significantly lower your energy usage and utility bills. You're environmentally conscious Hate carbon waste? You may love a hybrid system. Because your gas furnace only runs on the coldest days, you'll burn less natural gas (or propane) than a traditional furnace. That's a plus for you and the planet.
