The heat pump is a versatile and energy-efficient device that allows for cooling in the summer and heating in the winter, thanks to the principle of transferring heat contained in the air. When properly installed and maintained, a heat pump can serve you for more than a decade. However, what should you do when it seems to no longer function correctly? The best solution is to call a heating and air…

Besides product quality, a decisive variable in the lifespan of a heat pump is its “maintenance”. Any heating and/or air conditioning system requires a minimum of maintenance. This is not only about the efficiency of the device but also its ability to provide the same performance year after year, without breakdowns or loss of power. Moreover, to last a long time, a heat pump must be suited to its usage and…

Regardless of financial considerations, the best time to buy a heat pump is when you are ready! That is, when you have found or received enough information about this type of device to make an informed decision. Consulting heating/air conditioning experts before buying a heat pump is more relevant than looking for “incredible deals”. To make your heat pump a worthwhile investment, you need to make a knowledgeable purchase. The quality…

When it comes to determining if a heat pump is quiet, we must first address the good things. Generally speaking, it’s the unit located outside of the dwelling or house that we’re concerned about. That is, the unit where a large fan operates and where the compression/expansion cycles of the refrigerant occur. As for indoor units, their warm or cold air diffuser makes very little noise. Having a quiet heat pump…

Zone-based air conditioning, also known as zoning, is an operation and regulation concept that is highly effective. Enabled by multi-zone heat pumps (of the “Split” type), zoning allows for the distribution of cool air in each room of a residence. Typically, the various “zones” or rooms in a house have their unique characteristics in terms of conductivity and heat response, referred to as their thermal load. Factors such as exposure to…

In line with the severity of our Quebec winters, various heating options are offered by HVAC contractors. Each has distinctive characteristics and could represent an ideal solution depending on the needs. Heating options include, for example, central heating systems, electric radiators, heated floors, and pellet stoves. Each has its advantages, and some may involve the presence of a heat pump. Central Heating and Electric Radiators A central heating system in a…

It is now acknowledged that heat pumps are sophisticated enough to be among the most advantageous systems for homes, condos, etc. Heat pumps are efficient both in cooling and heating modes. When combined with other technologies as needed, they can make your home very comfortable and eco-friendly. During summer, conventional air conditioning can be costly in terms of electricity. This is often because the air conditioner must run at full blast…

Leading companies like Daikin are at the forefront of this transformation, offering solutions that combine performance, sustainability, and energy efficiency. Introduction to the Future of HVAC The development of heating and air conditioning systems has always been guided by the pursuit of efficiency and comfort. Today, this progress…

For several years now, all new dwellings include an air exchanger to compensate for the improved airtightness of the buildings and thus ensure that the air circulates properly. However, it’s often advantageous to install this type of apparatus in an older home, as well, as long as the home is well insulated. Installing an air exchanger will help lower the humidity levels in your home, in addition to preventing microclimates, which…

Your air exchanger is like the lungs of your home. It ensures optimal air quality by filtering out allergens, lowering humidity levels and ensuring that every room has a stable temperature and a constant supply of fresh air. It serves as a vital link between the outside world and the inside of your home. What’s more, heat recovery ventilation (HRV) transfers the heat from the exhaust air coming out of the…
