Sure, the calendar might say it’s spring and we’re starting to see lambs and daffodils, but tell that to your toes when you get out of bed in the morning!

At HRV we sell heat pumps all year round, in some parts of the country spring can be almost as busy as winter!

If you’re thinking of investing in a heat pump, good thinking! They’re one of the best ways you can choose to heat your home. Read on for our top 6 heat pump Things for Spring:

#1 Did you know heat pumps heat in winter and cool in summer for year-round comfort? That’s like two appliances in one! Whether you call it an air conditioner or a heat pump, you’re really talking about the same thing: a very efficient appliance that moves heat energy from one place to another to deliver you the ideal indoor temperature.

#2 Did you know the ideal sleeping temperature range for children is 19 to 25 degrees? A heat pump from HRV can help you create a healthy sleeping environment for your family. Heat pumps are quiet and safe, too, so there’s no reason not to run yours overnight when temperatures are at their lowest.

#3 Did you know a heat pump is 3-5x more efficient at heating your home than a gas heater? HRV recommends and installs a wide range of top brand models and your HRV expert can explain each one’s efficiency, including its Energy Star rating. Simply put, greater efficiency means you’ll pay less money in energy bills for the same amount of heat.

#4 Did you know heating takes up about 1/3 of your energy bill? An energy-efficient heat pump from HRV can help control costs while keeping your home comfy. Turning down the heating to save money can be a false economy if it leads to health issues down the track for you and your family… that’s why we recommend investing in an efficient heat pump instead.
