The best way to understand if something is right for you is to hear from other people. This is why 1 Click Heating & Cooling shared a video of a retiree who installed a heat pump in her home. 

Helena lives in Ontario, Canada, so it gets really cold. Keeping comfortable indoors is important to her because that's where she spends most of her time. 

She said, "Often you hear negative comments about heat pumps not working in the cold weather, but we just went through a huge cold spell, 20 below at nighttime, and it's been very even heat." 

When she had a furnace, it was noisy and didn't keep the house evenly warm. Additionally, since it's a smaller house, the heat pump is more convenient because it has one unit, instead of having the furnace and another unit for AC. 

If heat pumps are new to you, TCD's partner Mitsubishi is a great place to start, as it can help you understand your options and save you money on your energy bills. 

Heat pumps save homeowners money because of how efficiently they work. They pull heat from the outside, from the ground, air, and water, and transfer it inside, rather than creating it. In warmer months, they transfer the warm air from inside your home to the outside. 

Smart upgrades that slash monthly bills

Installing a heat pump is a great way to save $1,000 annually on your energy bill. It's also a more efficient way of heating or cooling your home, as the retired homeowner mentioned.
