What Does Your Heating System and Thanksgiving Have In Common?

Here in the Phoenix Metro Area November brings on the start of the Holidays and we celebrate Thanksgiving. It also starts our heating season here in the Valley of the Sun.

Of course you need to plan your Thanksgiving feast to include what to serve and who you will serve it to. We all look to invite family and friends to enjoy the holiday meal.  It seems at Thanksgiving we all know some folks that would like to be invited because otherwise they will be eating at a local fast food place.

We want all of our visitors to be comfortable.  That means you need your HVAC to be ready for Arizona weather.  That means Heating and Cooling perhaps even in the same day. Yes, this November 27th you could need heating in the morning and cooling in the afternoon as our Phoenix Metro area temperatures may reach eight-five degrees Fahrenheit during the peak of the afternoon solar gain.

Not many places in the United States can say that they have a day where both heating and cooling are needed in the twenty-four hour period. Here in the Valley of the Sun we can actually use both heating and cooling in the same day. It doesn’t happen very often, but it does happen. An efficient Heat Pump is one of the few units that can do that without some sort of changes to the ventilation and ducting system.

A heat pump, rather than creating heat, simply moves heat. It may move thermal energy from cooler outdoor air into the warmer inside, or from the cooler refrigerator interior into the ambient air. It pushes heat in a direction counter to its normal flow (cold to hot, rather then hot to cold). Thus we use the word pump.

A typical thermostat does require you to manually change them from cool to heat even with a heat pump.

There are now water heaters that use heat pump technology to heat or partially heat your domestic hot water. So it looks like you can count on heat pump technology to be used in more domestic services as time goes on.  Heat pumps are even being used in conjunction with the water from swimming pools. 

Combining passive solar panels to help heat both domestic hot water and your backyard swimming pool can save on your energy costs as well. Yes, that sort of makes sunshine as part of your home’s heat pump.
