Are you tired of shivering through Edmonton, Alberta’s long, cold winters? Imagine a home where each room is a cosy haven, even when the mercury plummets. That’s not just a dream; with the right cold climate heat pump, it’s a reality.
Read on to discover how to choose the best cold climate heat pumps and why they’re a game-changer for heating your home.
Understanding Heat Pumps: The Basics
Before diving into the best cold climate heat pumps, let’s understand what a heat pump is. Unlike traditional heating systems such as furnaces or electric baseboards, heat pumps transfer heat from the outside air into your home. They are efficient and versatile, offering both heating and cooling capabilities.
Why Proper Heat Pump Sizing Matters
Proper heat pump sizing is not only about comfort but also about energy efficiency. An improperly sized unit can lead to increased energy consumption as it struggles to maintain the desired temperature by constantly cycling on and off if too large or overworking is too small.
This can result in higher energy bills and a shorter lifespan for the heat pump due to the unnecessary strain on its components. Therefore, accurate sizing is key to ensuring optimal performance, cost-effectiveness, and longevity of your heat pump system.
The Best Cold Climate Heat Pumps
Regarding heating homes in cold climates like Edmonton, not all heat pumps are created equal. If you want the best, Mitsubishi is the answer.
Mitsubishi H2i Series
The Mitsubishi H2i Series boasts advanced technology that allows it to extract heat from extremely cold air, a feature not found in many standard heat pumps. This series is renowned for its Hyper-Heating technology, which ensures consistent and reliable heating even when outdoor temperatures are frigid.
The H2i models have eco-friendly features. These features reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills, which is a significant advantage for environmentally conscious homeowners.
The wide range of models available in the H2i Series means there is a solution for homes of various sizes and heating requirements. Mitsubishi’s reputation for durability and low maintenance needs further adds to the appeal of the H2i Series as a wise investment for long-term home heating in cold climates.
Types of Heat Pumps we offer
When exploring options for a new heat pump, you must understand the available types, and what your home has and is designed for. The three main types of heat pumps are air-source, ground-source (geothermal), and water-source. Each has unique characteristics suited to various environments.
1. Air-Source Heat Pumps
Air-source heat pumps are the most common, particularly in moderate climates. They work by extracting heat from the outside air and transferring it indoors.
In the summer, this process is reversed to cool the building. Their popularity stems from their ease of installation and cost-effectiveness.
However, their efficiency can decrease in cold climates, as they rely on the outside air temperature. For Edmonton’s cold winters, selecting a high-quality air-source heat pump designed for cold climates is essential.
2. Ground-Source (Geothermal) Heat Pumps
Ground-source heat pumps, also called geothermal heat pumps, utilize the ground’s natural warmth by extracting heat from below the earth’s surface. Installation of these systems involves burying heat exchanger pipes in the ground, which can be more pricey and invasive than installing air-source heat pumps.
Their high efficiency can lead to significant long-term energy savings and a lower environmental impact.
A building has to be designed around the geothermal system. We don’t install new geothermal systems, but we can service, and repair all brands.
3. Water-Source Heat Pumps
Water-source heat pumps function like ground-source heat pumps. Essentially the same unit, but designed to be tied into the building heating loop. This is what you are looking for if you’re in an apartment or high rise.
Water source heat pumps are our thing! This is what’s in your apartment if it’s not a gas fired unit.
