A heat pump is a heating and cooling system for your home that is far more efficient than traditional systems.

It works by extracting heat outside, even on very cold days, and transferring that heat through refrigerant lines to one or more inside units that circulate the heat in your home.

It reverses this process to act as an air conditioner when in cooling mode. In addition, heat pumps have a dry mode for dehumidification and a fan mode for days when you just want to open the windows and use it as a ceiling fan.

Peace of Mind Guarantee with your Heat Pump

Each of our systems comes with a Valley Peace of Mind Guarantee. This means that during the first year after your installation, you will not be charged for the cost of labor in the event of a necessary service visit. We provide this added coverage because we want you to be completely satisfied and be able to trust the quality of the installation of your new system. Parts are covered for applicable service calls under the manufacturer warranty. This included membership is valid even without committing to an annual membership later.

Fujitsu systems come with a 12-year manufacturer warranty that covers parts.

Heat pumps are one of the most efficient heating and cooling systems available in terms of energy saved and the lack of byproducts that they emit. Homeowners and businesses can enjoy exceptional temperature control performance along with significantly lower utility bills.
Unlike central air systems that heat or cool an entire structure, heat pumps offer targeted temperature control exactly where it’s needed. And once you get used to using your heat pump, it provides a more consistent source of heat rather than the short “blasts” of heat we normally expect from traditional furnaces that turn on for short bursts. Here are 10 quick tips from the state of Maine on proper use of your heat pump.
Heat pumps also allow you to customize and tailor your home’s heating or cooling with precise temperature control through zoning. Different rooms of your home can maintain different temperatures with a multi-zone mini-split heat pump system or systems.

Energy Efficiency 

Heat pumps are extraordinarily energy efficient, which is good for both the environment and your monthly utility bills. You’ll spend less on fuel when you switch to a heat pump or use a mini-split system to supplement your current heating solution(s).

Control 

Mini-split heat pumps offer highly precise zone control. Each room or zone with a unit can maintain the temperature that you and your family prefer. Not every person in your home or business has the same climate preferences. Ductless heat pumps give your household control over their comfort.

Prevent Fuel Waste 

How many rooms are in your home? How many of those rooms are always occupied? If you’re like many Mainers, there are parts of your home that don’t require around-the-clock temperature control. Unfortunately, a traditional central air heating solution doesn’t differentiate between occupied and unoccupied rooms. It’ll burn enough fuel to heat every room with ductwork.

Heat pumps allow you to only heat or cool rooms that need it.

Heat pumps are frequently one of the most affordable heating and cooling solutions for homes thanks to a variety of manufacturer and government incentives. Both the state of Maine and the federal government want people to consume less energy, which is why they encourage the installation of highly efficient temperature control solutions like heat pumps. We will be sure to let you know if your town or city has any additional rebates too!
