Heat Pump Articles

One reason Washington homeowners love heat pumps is they function as an all-in-one unit. Instead of purchasing and maintaining a separate furnace and air conditioning system, you can simply transition your heat pump from the heat setting to the cooling setting and vice versa as seasons warrant.

Heat pumps provide heating and cooling capabilities—there’s no need to supplement your heat pump with an air conditioner.

If you are in the market for a new heat pump, efficiency is probably a key factor in your search. The Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) has a universal ranking system for heating and cooling units that serves to help. 

Our team at ENTEK Corporation regularly gets calls about frozen heat pumps. Though common, a heat pump freeze-up usually means your system’s components are not working correctly. Sometimes you can fix it yourself. But oftentimes, you will need to call a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) professional, like us, as the problem may require a part replacement or complex repair.

Choosing the right heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system for your La Center, WA home is crucial to ensure comfort, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

So you are looking to invest in a heat pump. You are not alone—many Americans are making the switch.
Why? For starters, heat pumps are generally more efficient than a traditional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. What is more, they offer both heating and cooling, so they are versatile.
