Where a Heat Pump Is a Good Idea

Will a heat pump save you money? If you live where temperatures typically stay above freezing and electric rates are low, the answer is most likely yes. Heat pumps draw heat from outdoor air in winter and release it inside. In summer, the process is reversed. The cost of buying and installing a heat pump divided by the total hours used each year is often less than that of buying and installing individual heating and air systems. As Westinghouse HVAC experts, we can recommend a heat pump or other equipment that can cut your energy bills while keeping your home more comfortable. Call us for a consultation today.

How Properly Placed Trees Help Your AC Performance

Strategic landscaping will help keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Plant deciduous trees to block the sun's rays to avoid overheating. When these trees lose their leaves in the winter, they’ll allow the sun to help warm your home all day long. Combine this idea with additional tips and energy efficient equipment options from us, the Westinghouse HVAC experts, to reduce annual energy costs. Call for more information today.
