Homeowners new to heat pump technology often have concerns about the long-term performance of these energy-efficient appliances. Another question that frequently arises concerns the noise of heat pumps.
In a YouTube video, Jonathan Tracey (@JonathanTracey), an energy independence expert, addressed this specific question.
"I want to put to bed one of the rumors about a heat pump that I've been hearing a lot," Tracey said. The rumor he referenced was that heat pumps are so noisy that they'll bother your neighbors. However, Tracey dispelled this rumor as a myth by measuring the sound with two different devices.
After taking the measurements, Tracey shared the impressive readings. He lives in the quiet countryside and can barely hear his heat pump from his yard or his neighbor's. "It becomes part of that background noise, and after a while, you just stop noticing it," he said.
Tracey's video disproves a common myth about the noise levels of heat pumps. Without that unfounded concern, more people may be open to upgrading their heating and cooling systems with a highly efficient, low-pollution heat pump that's easy on your wallet and the planet.
Not only are heat pumps quiet, but they're also an excellent way to save money on your monthly utility bills and to protect yourself from rising energy prices. With a more energy-efficient system, you can reduce heating and cooling costs by 50%.
