DETROIT, Feb. 13, 2025 ~ Detroit-based heating and cooling company, C & C Heating & Air Conditioning, is shedding light on the benefits of modern heat pump technology for homeowners. With over 70 years of experience in the industry, the company is well-versed in the advancements that have made heat pumps a viable option even in colder climates.

According to Dayna Hottle, general manager of C & C Heating & Air Conditioning, when heat pumps first gained popularity, they were not efficient in very cold temperatures due to their difficulty in drawing heat from the colder ambient air. However, with improved compressors and enhanced coil designs that have larger surface areas, they can now work just as well in cold climates as they do in more moderate areas of the country. This is good news for those living in northern regions who are looking to save money on their heating and cooling costs.

Hottle explains that one of the main advantages of heat pumps is their energy efficiency. Unlike furnaces or boilers which generate heat, heat pumps simply transfer it from one place to another. This results in significantly less energy consumption and also eliminates the need for burning fossil fuels, making it an eco-friendly option.

But perhaps one of the most appealing features of heat pumps is their ability to both heat and cool a home. As Hottle points out, "Heat pumps pick up heat from the outside and transfer it to the inside during winter, but do the opposite during summer." This means homeowners no longer need separate air conditioning units and furnaces – a significant cost-saving benefit.

In fact, Hottle estimates that households can save an average of $500 per year on utility bills by using a heat pump instead of traditional heating and cooling systems.

However, there are some downsides to consider when opting for a heat pump. The initial installation cost may be higher as it requires specialized equipment and additional permitting in some areas. Additionally, like traditional air conditioning units, heat pumps use refrigerant to function properly, even in winter. Hottle advises homeowners to ensure their contractor is licensed, certified, and knowledgeable about proper heat pump installation.

It's also important to note that due to the use of refrigerants, all new residential and light commercial heat pumps are subject to the new 2025 regulations and will require the use of new A2L refrigerants.
