Michigan's Heat Pump Service Experts
Much like a central air conditioner, heat pumps rely on air movement through an indoor and an outdoor coil to generate comfort for your home. Keeping the system cleaned, checked and maintained helps to protect against sometimes costly and inconvenient heat pump repair service. It’s also a great way to help:
- Maximize energy savings
- Reduce wear & tear on components for longer life
- Save time and money in the long run with fewer unexpected breakdowns or repairs
When you schedule an appointment for heat pump services with Aspen One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning, you are taking a great first step toward enhanced comfort and potential savings on heat pump repair services for the long run.

Heat Pumps
Heat pumps are versatile HVAC systems that transfer heat between indoor and outdoor environments to efficiently regulate temperatures in residential and commercial spaces. By extracting heat from the air, water, or ground, they can warm interiors during colder months and provide cooling in hotter weather. Operating on electricity, heat pumps offer energy-efficient heating and cooling solutions, particularly in moderate climates. Their ability to both heat and cool spaces with a single system makes them popular choices for homeowners seeking year-round comfort. As sustainability becomes a priority, heat pumps play a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions and promoting eco-friendly heating and cooling practices.
How Does A Heat Pump Work?
In heating mode, the heat pump absorbs heat from outside the home, such as the air or ground, and releases it inside. The heat pump can even extract heat from cold air.
- Air: The outdoor unit of the heat pump pulls heat from the air outside, even when it’s cold.
- Geothermal energy: Heat pumps can extract heat stored in the ground.
- Water: Heat pumps can extract heat from water sources, such as wells or lakes. In an open-loop system, water is pumped out of the source, the heat is extracted, and the water is then returned to the source.

Heat Pump F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Benefits of Using a Heat Pump?
Heat pumps are known for their energy efficiency and dual-functionality, providing both heating and cooling with one system. They can reduce your energy bills significantly because they use less electricity than conventional heating and cooling systems.
Additionally, because they don’t burn fuel, heat pumps are a cleaner, greener option that reduces your home’s carbon footprint. Heat pumps are also relatively low-maintenance, with fewer parts that wear out over time compared to traditional heating systems.
In addition to their efficiency and environmental benefits, heat pumps provide consistent indoor comfort without the fluctuations typical of other heating methods.
How Energy-Efficient are Heat Pumps?
Heat pumps are highly energy-efficient systems, typically providing 3 to 4 units of heating or cooling for every 1 unit of electricity consumed. This is due to the way heat pumps move heat rather than generating it, which requires less energy. The efficiency of a heat pump is measured by its Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) for cooling and Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF) for heating.
Higher ratings indicate greater efficiency. Because they use renewable energy from the environment (air, water, or ground), heat pumps can cut energy consumption by 50% or more compared to traditional systems like electric heaters or furnaces.
Do Heat Pumps Require a Lot of Maintenance?
Heat pumps are relatively low-maintenance, but like all HVAC systems, they require regular care to ensure efficient operation. You should clean or replace the air filters every 1-3 months to maintain airflow and air quality. It’s also important to schedule professional maintenance annually to check refrigerant levels, clean the coils, inspect the ducts, and ensure the system is operating at peak efficiency.
The outdoor unit should be kept clear of debris, leaves, or ice buildup to avoid any obstructions to airflow. With proper maintenance, your heat pump will perform reliably for many years and help reduce the risk of costly repairs.
Are Heat Pumps Noisy?
Heat pumps are generally quieter than traditional heating systems, such as furnaces or air conditioners. The indoor unit of a heat pump is typically very quiet, with noise levels comparable to a whisper or soft fan. The outdoor unit, which contains the compressor and fan, can make some noise, but it is usually no louder than a standard air conditioner. Newer heat pump models are designed to operate as quietly as possible, with advanced technology that reduces operational noise.
If your heat pump seems excessively noisy, it may be due to an issue with the system, such as a dirty filter, an obstructed fan, or a mechanical problem, and should be inspected by a professional.
