Upgrade your home comfort with a system built for Alberta winters. Airdrie Air installs cold climate air source heat pumps that deliver reliable heating and cooling year round, even when temperatures drop well below freezing.
Our cold climate air source heat pumps are engineered to work for about 85 to 90 percent of the year, providing heating during moderate winter days and cooling during hot summer months. They can extract thermal energy from the air, even in extreme cold. Then When the temperature dips too low, your furnace takes over seamlessly for consistent comfort.
As of this writing, natural gas is a cheaper alternative to run a furnace to provide heating in a typical home than electricity to operate a heat pump. However, as we’ve witnessed with gas and oil prices the market is volatile and low natural gas price in the future is not a guarantee.
With emerging alternative, clean energy sources such as solar power (which can include government grants for solar panels) the energy market is rapidly changing. Homes with solar panels are ideally set to use heat pumps year-round, and energy costs will be much lower than homes using natural gas as the heat source.
Heat pumps are relative in price when compared to a standard AC unit. By choosing to replace a conventional central air conditioning unit with a heat pump you’ll have flexibility if the energy market changes. Should energy prices “flip” (electricity becomes cheaper than natural gas for heating) or you install solar panels you can set the heat pump to run using AC power saving you money on energy.
Most homes in Alberta still rely on forced air furnaces. More homeowners are installing solar panels and are discovering the cost saving benefit of adding a cold climate heat pump to create a hybrid heating and cooling system. The heat pump handles most of the heating and all of the cooling, while your furnace only runs on the coldest days. This combination maximizes comfort and reduces energy costs. ➣➣ read more
A heat pump is approximately priced similar to a conventional AC unit but gives you the option to run most of your heating by natural gas or electricity depending on energy cost. It's one of the reasons most people in the industry believe heat pumps will become the standard HVAC cooling unit in the very near future.
We provide expert installation and can properly size the heat pump required for your cooling system.
With correct installation you’ll be able to minimize future repairs and energy cost in addition to maximizing the life-cycle of your furnace which will have reduced operation.
