Understanding Heat Pumps:

A Dual-Function Heating and Cooling Solution for Indiana Homes

A heat pump is a dual-function system that can both heat and cool a home, making it a versatile option for homeowners in Indiana. Combining a heat pump with a furnace creates a dual fuel system that ensures year-round comfort, with the heat pump operating as an air conditioner in summer and extracting heat from the outdoor air and transferring it inside in winter.

To achieve peak performance, a heat pump operates most efficiently when temperatures are above 35 degrees Fahrenheit. In colder weather, a furnace becomes the primary heating source. In regions like Indiana, where temperatures can significantly drop, homeowners may require an additional heating solution. However, by combining a Lennox heat pump with a highly efficient furnace, it is possible to establish an energy-saving dual-fuel system. This system reduces the consumption of natural gas and guarantees optimal comfort even during extremely cold days.

There are several factors that influence energy efficiency, including the design, size, and maintenance of the HVAC system, the climate in which the building is located, the level of insulation in the building, and the behavior of the occupants. At Ecofriendly, our team of comfort designers specializes in conducting thorough analysis and load calculations to assist in choosing the most appropriate HVAC system for both residential and commercial properties. By considering these important factors, we can ensure optimal energy efficiency and comfort for your home or business.

The amended Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit, which began in 2023 and extends through 2032, increases the tax credits as high as $600 for qualified air conditioners or gas furnaces, and up to $2000 for qualified heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, or boiler.

Ecofriendly Mechanical is actively working with customers to get the maximum credit on their new heat pump installations by utilizing the Federal Inflation Reduction Act as well as local Utility Rebates and manufacturer rebates.
