MENLO PARK — Host, Sarah Rutan: If you’re thinking about switching to solar power in your home, you should also consider installing a heat pump for your HVAC system. Today we’re in Menlo Park with Diamond Certified Expert Contributor Mike Rebholtz of Alternative Heating &amp; Conditioning Solutions to learn more.
Diamond Certified Expert Contributor Mike Rebholtz: I&#8217;m here today to talk about heat pumps. A lot of people are questioning, you know, what is a heat pump? What do they do? How will it heat my home? Does it air condition well? Is it efficient? And I really start talking to people about heat pumps when we&#8217;re talking about if they have solar and they want to start getting off the grid or if they&#8217;re on propane and they don&#8217;t want to use propane to heat their home. They want to use electricity. So, when we heat and cool on a heat pump, we&#8217;re doing it with electricity.
They&#8217;ve become very efficient. They&#8217;ve become a lot more &#8211; they produce a lot more heat than they used to. We&#8217;ve gone from an R22 refrigerant to a 410A refrigerant, which means that it could produce six to ten degrees more heat than they ever used to. Efficiencies have gotten much better. They&#8217;ve gone to variable-speed compressors, which are very efficient. And they don&#8217;t pull a lot of energy off the grid immediately. They just gradually come up. And so we find that heat pumps have a really good place here in the Peninsula with a lot of people that are doing solar.
