The technology behind heat pumps is always advancing. There are currently four primary categories of heat pumps in Auburn, WA.
Water to Water Heat Pumps
Geothermal drilling or drilling into the earth to tap into its heat is required for this sort of heat pump. Water goes below the surface, returns to the top, and passes through a heat exchanger. The source water warms the load water in the heat exchanger. After that, the load side water goes through the heating system to heat your house.
Air to Air Heat Pumps
The best heat pumps in Auburn, WA, in an air-to-air system, draw heat from the air on the load side, and this heat is subsequently transferred to a refrigerant. After that, the refrigerant makes its way via a coil located inside the ductwork, where air from the load side blows over it in a manner analogous to a furnace. The vast majority of heat pumps used by an HVAC contractor are of this type.
Air to Water Heat Pumps
On the supply side, an air to water system extracts heat from the air and transfers it to a refrigerant. After that, the refrigerant passes via a heat exchanger, where it can heat the load side water that is circulated throughout the home.
Water to Air Heat Pumps
Geothermal drilling is required for water-to-air systems to get heat from under the earth’s surface. The hot water is then forced through a coil in a conduit. It heats up when air is forced over the coil, exactly the same as a furnace.
