Three reasons:   

• The ability to control climate in each area of the house includes the ability to turn off heating or cooling where it isn’t needed.  And that translates to energy savings. 

• No more “hot” or “cold” zones that many homeowners face.  An all-climate lets you set the perfect temperature in every area of the house. 

• End the thermostat wars!  Some like it hot…some not so much.  Zone controls let each member of the household control their room’s temperature.

Heat pumps source heat from the ground, nearby water or, most commonly in residential use, the atmosphere.  Heat pumps extract heat from outdoor air during the winter and reverse the process in the summer.  Because heat pumps are transferring vs manufacturing heat (for example, by burning fossil fuels) they are eco-friendly.

A heat pump earns its name from its fundamental function of pumping or transferring heat from one location to another. This versatile HVAC system can both heat and cool spaces by extracting heat from the air or ground outside and transferring it indoors during colder months, and vice versa during warmer periods. By efficiently moving heat energy rather than generating it directly, heat pumps offer a more energy-efficient heating and cooling solution compared to traditional HVAC systems, making them a popular choice for residential and commercial applications alike.

Only the best technicians get to wear the RYCOR shirt.  Their 5-star-rated service and unsurpassed experience will get the job done right, every time.

When the outdoor temperature plunges below a certain threshold, usually near or below the balance point where the heat pump's efficiency decreases, the system may activate its auxiliary heat source as a backup to maintain indoor comfort. This auxiliary heat source could be electric resistance heating coils integrated into the indoor unit. It's important to note that modern ductless heat pumps like the Mitsubishi Electric Mini-Splits are equipped with sophisticated controls that automatically manage this transition, ensuring efficient operation while keeping energy costs in check.

However, if you have concerns or notice unusual behavior, it's advisable to reach out to RYCOR for professional assistance and peace of mind.
