Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are always a popular choice for heating and cooling homes in Oregon. These energy-efficient systems can do the work of both your furnace and air conditioner, making them a good investment when it comes to helping the environment and managing your household budget.

A heat pump saves energy and money by transferring heat rather than producing it. During the summer months, a heat pump works like an air conditioner and moves the warm air from your home to the outdoors. In the winter, it can capture warm air from the outdoors and transfer it to your home. Transferring heat rather than trying to create it is an enormous cost saver.

When they first came out on the market, heat pumps were only suitable in regions with mild winters. Thanks to technology, high-efficiency heat pumps sold today can provide sufficient warmth in the majority of climates around the United States—including here in Central Oregon, where we tend to experience some pretty extreme temperatures during the winter months.

At Diversified Heating & Cooling, we offer a quality selection of heat pumps designed to keep your Bend, OR, home comfortable throughout the year. Our NATE (North American Technician Excellence) certified professionals can recommend and install the best heat pump for your budget and lifestyle.

Why Purchase a Heat Pump System?

If you are considering whether to replace your old furnace and air conditioning unit, consider installing a heat pump. It is easy to operate and provides the following benefits:

• A heat pump replaces your air conditioner and furnace, leaving you with less heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment to maintain.
• Heat pumps can reduce your electricity use for heating by approximately 50 percent compared to a gas furnace, according to the US Department of Energy (DOE).
• A heat pump reduces your carbon emissions, even more so if paired with solar paneling.

Installing a Heat Pump System

You can count on our expert installation team to carefully calculate the heating and cooling requirements for your home before choosing a model that best fits your needs. Heat pumps can be installed either as central units that rely on air ducts or as ductless systems (also called mini splits) that allow you to install individual units throughout your home.

Ductless heat pumps are the perfect solution to heat and cool any new addition to your home that has no ductwork. They also match up well in larger homes with zone control systems.

Repairing a Heat Pump

Heat pumps are similar to air conditioners, and many of the same issues that affect an air conditioner can affect a heat pump—such as refrigerant leaks or a stuck compressor.

You can trust our licensed and insured professionals at Diversified to quickly diagnose and address any issues involving your heat pump. We provide reliable, upfront repair quotes to avoid any hidden surprises.

Heat Pump Maintenance

Proper preventative maintenance is always a key factor to extend the service life of all your HVAC equipment—and a heat pump is no exception. We recommend biannual inspections and tune-ups for your heat pump since it does the job of both a furnace and air conditioner and, therefore, has to work twice as hard.

We offer preventative maintenance plans at Diversified Heating & Cooling that are tailor-made to meet your budget and lifestyle. These plans take into account scheduled visits and priority service. Having a maintenance plan in place provides peace of mind knowing your HVAC system is being cared for by a trusted professional.
