Coyote HVAC is all about bringing the latest in comfort technology to everyone, including those in historic homes. But with all the buzz about heat pump technology, you might be wondering: can this energy-saving wonder find a home in your older house?
The answer is a resounding yes, with a few considerations! Heat pumps offer fantastic benefits like reduced energy bills, year-round comfort, and a lighter carbon footprint, but adapting them to older homes requires some knowledge and planning.
Here’s the scoop on heat pump compatibility with existing homes:
The Good News:
- Modern heat pump systems can work in older homes: Like any HVAC system, proper sizing and installation are key. A qualified technician can assess your home’s needs and recommend the best heat pump type and size.
- Older homes often have ductwork: This existing infrastructure can be leveraged for heat pump installation, saving on costs.
- Heat pumps can improve efficiency: Even in older homes, upgrading to a heat pump can significantly reduce energy bills, especially in milder climates.
- Government incentives: Rebates and tax credits can make installing a heat pump even more attractive. Many rebates are offered from both Xcel Energy and Denver’s Climate Action Rebate Program.
The Considerations:
- Home insulation: Leaky houses can make heat pumps less efficient. Consider upgrading insulation before or during installation to maximize savings.
- Ductwork condition: Leaky or poor insulation for your air ducts can affect their efficiency. Air Sealing and insulating ducts might be necessary. In some cases adding or modifying ductwork is also required.
- Cold climates: While heat pumps work in colder regions, they might require backup heating systems for extreme temperatures. For back up heating there are both gas and electric options available.
