Electric Heating Systems

Heat pumps are a necessary piece of a lot of the large appliances we all have at home. Heating pump units move air from one place to another while raising the temperature. They come in many different brands and options due to the specific needs of the household equipment.

The types of heat pumps are air source, solid state, and ground source. Air source units take heat from the air outside and transfer it inside. Solid state units are mounted and require regulated hot and cold temperature cycling. Ground source units are embedded in the ground and take heat from the ground and remain at a stable temperature at all times of the year.
