The chilly winter nights and scorching summer days in Modesto, CA mean that you’ll need a reliable heating and air conditioning system. Some days, you’ll need both heating and cooling functions to maintain indoor comfort. Heat pump systems deliver both air conditioning and heating for indoor spaces of all shapes and sizes, and here are a few reasons why they’re a smart choice for Modesto homeowners.

Improve Energy Efficiency

Rolling blackouts and high utility rates make heat pumps a wise choice for indoor comfort systems in Modesto. According to the Department of Energy, a heat pump is an energy-efficient home heating and air conditioning solution in all climates. Rather than creating heat, these systems move it. No fuel is burned by a heat pump, so they’re also safe to use.

Enjoy Greater Comfort

Because heat pump systems dehumidify, heat, and cool your home, they’re always ready for whatever nature has in store for temperatures. You don’t have to turn anything on or off or flip any switches. Heat pump systems are compatible with programmable and smart thermostats. Just set the temperature you prefer for different times of the day and days of the week, and the heat pump will maintain a consistent temperature and humidity level throughout your home.

Adaptable and Flexible

There are many types of heat pump systems to consider for your home. The traditional type is a forced-air heat pump. It pushes the heated or cooled air through an air handler that connects to your home’s ductwork. Ductless heat pumps don’t require ductwork. Also called mini-splits, they consist of one outdoor unit and four to six indoor units in different zones of your home. Heat pumps can be air-, water- or ground-source. Ground-source, or geothermal, is the most energy-efficient heat pump option.
