What is a Slit Heat Pump?
Weather conditions in the Virginia Beach area can be very unpredictable, particularly in the cooler winter months. You may want to consider installing a split heat pump a quiet, energy efficient method of heating and cooling your Virginia home—perfect for those warm summer days and cooler winter months.
Split Heat Pump How Does it Work?
Similar to a ductless air conditioner , a split heat pump allows you to control the temperature of a room where a traditional HVAC system does not already exist. Typically, split heat pumps can be found mounted high on the wall or on the ceiling of a windowless room, a room that needs extra heating or cooling to maintain consistent temperatures, or in a newly build home addition. A split heat pump uses two units to keep your Virginia home comfortable; an indoor and outdoor unit.
Heating Cycle
During its heating cycle, the outdoor unit of your split heat pump uses Freon a chemical gas to absorb heat from outdoor air. The warm Freon gas then travels through small pipes to the indoor unit, where the heat passes through coils and warm your room, while the Freon gas remains trapped inside the piping and returns outdoors.
Cooling Cycle
During the hot, humid Virginia summers your split heat pump reverses airflow, making sure its room is kept at a comfier temperature. The Freon gas within the indoor unit absorbs warm air, removing any leftover heat and moisture from inside the house. Traveling to the outdoor unit’s compressor, the Freon gas passes through the outdoor coil, releasing its warm air outside.
