Having the reliability of a cooling system as well as a heating system in your home that runs hyper-efficiently is pretty much case closed for many prospective buyers who are looking for the best comfort in their home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, while we recommend getting a heat pump when looking into <a href=\"\/air-conditioning\/air-conditioning-installation-replacement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"air conditioning installation in Orlando, FL (opens in a new tab)\">air conditioning installation in Orlando, FL<\/a>\u2014we <em>don&#8217;t<\/em> recommend getting a system that you don&#8217;t know anything about! So, before you call up a team of professionals and sign up for heat pump installation, pay attention to some of the most important facts about the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The worst thing that can happen is your home getting stuck with the improper AC system that ends up driving you crazy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Know<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s say you get your new air conditioner installed and you&#8217;re enjoying the efficiency and effectiveness of a heat pump, without having done any research beforehand, and all a sudden you start experiencing problems. This could lead to some extra panic, because not only is there a problem with your air conditioning system, but this constitutes a problem with your heater as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some things to be aware of before you purchase a heat pump, and remember that they&#8217;re as reliable, if not more reliable, than standard air conditioners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Heat Pumps Still Have Air Filters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your old air conditioner broke down because of neglect, and you think you&#8217;ll escape that with a nifty new heat pump model, we&#8217;ve got bad news for you. The truth is that any air conditioner or heater model will break down quickly if it&#8217;s neglected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case of a heat pump, they still use air filters in order to block harmful particles from dirtying coils or ruining the interior of the compressor. Without regularly changing the air filter every 1-3 months, even throughout the winter, your system will degrade and fall apart much fast than it would normally. No AC or heater is above regular care that can be provided by a homeowner. Take care of your system, and it will take care of you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Heat Pumps Still Use Refrigerant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you dealt with an AC that leaked refrigerant, and think that a heat pump is your solution, keep in mind that heat pumps still utilize refrigerant, even in the winter, to keep your home comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, heat pumps don&#8217;t often leak refrigerant or have problems with their refrigerant lines. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s so vital to have your new heat pump installed by a team of professionals like us. We can check the refrigerant lines to make sure they&#8217;re properly installed and won&#8217;t leak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Heat Pumps Can Still Short Cycle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Heat pumps can still be sized incorrectly or suffer from a problem that causes it to short cycle. It&#8217;s important to pay attention to your new heating or cooling system, no matter how new it is, that it&#8217;s functioning properly. Also, it&#8217;s just as important to make sure it&#8217;s installed by professionals so you avoid most of the problems that <em>could<\/em> happen with a new system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Speaking of professionals, the team at Gary Munson Heating &amp; Air Conditioning can install your new heat pump. <a href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Call us today.
