What are the different types of heat pumps?

Air Source Heat Pump

Air Source Heat Pump

These heat pump systems are best for converting your conventional heating system to a high-performance heat pump system whether you choose to go all-electric or use a hybrid approach by keeping your gas furnace as backup.

Mini-Split Heat Pumps

Mini-Split Heat Pumps

These units offer great retrofit or add-on options for homes, additions, or basements. These units have an outdoor compressor/condenser and an indoor air unit. Mini-splits are ductless options for your home.

Ground Source Heat Pumps

Ground Source Heat Pumps

These heat pumps take advantage of the consistent warmth of the earth to get the highest efficiency out of heat pump technology. Also called geothermal heat pumps, these heat pumps use the existing ductwork in your home.

Top Questions About Heat Pump Installations

How do heat pumps work?

Heat pumps run off electricity and use a refrigerant cycle to transfer heat from different areas. During the summer, the heat pump absorbs heat from inside the home and transfers it to the air outside, just like a traditional air conditioner. In the winter, the cycle is reversed, and heat energy is extracted from the outside air (yes, even when it’s cold out, heat pumps can still extract heat). These cycles are all controlled by the pressure of the refrigerant in the system.

Do heat pumps work in cold climates?

Yes! In fact, the four countries in Europe with the highest number of heat pump installations per 1,000 households in 2022 were Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Estonia. These countries also have some of the coldest winters in Europe. That being said, you do need to install the correct heat pump and install it properly to enjoy comfortable temps inside when the outside temps drop below freezing.

Namaste Solar’s Most Recent Google Reviews

We couldn’t be happier with Namaste and our new solar panels! From the initial consult to the installation, everything went super smoothly and everyone was helpful and friendly. We’ve had less than ideal experiences with other contractors, and were pleasantly surprised with how awesome it was to work with Namaste!! Highly recommend this company
We had an excellent overall experience with Namaste Solar for our residential quote and install process. Anna was a fabulous resource in helping us gather info and answering allllll of my many questions during the process. I got quotes from 3 different companies in summer of 2023, and was pleased to see that Namaste (worker owned, certified B corp. etc.) was just about the same cost as a “big” national name, as well as another local solar outfit. Because of their admirable business practices, and low pressure sales tactics, we went with Namaste. Were super happy with the entire process from install to turn-on. We signed the agreement around labor day, install happened mid Nov, and it was operational on Dec 1! It all happened even quicker than their estimated timeline, which of course we don’t complain about. The online portal for monitoring our production is easy to use. We have had no issues so far, and recommend Namaste to anyone looking to go solar!
Efficient install. Great communication. This local company should be your pick for solar.
