Lew's Reliable Heat & Air Conditioning

What Is a Heat Pump?

Heat pumps are innovative HVAC components that can be used alongside or in lieu of an air conditioner and furnace. They can provide you with additional efficiency compared to traditional A/C and heating choices.

This increased efficiency is especially advantageous when you consider that typical heating and air conditioning can make up for about 50 percent of the energy use in a home. When used for heating, heat pumps can reduce your energy costs by up to 30 percent. Heat pumps are ideal for the midwest and southern states, where milder winters are experienced.

Gain Peace of Mind With an HVAC Service Agreement

Whether it’s in the scorching heat of summer or the bone-chilling cold of winter, our home’s heating and cooling units tend to malfunction at the most inconvenient times. When you set up an agreement with your HVAC maintenance provider, you are less likely to be plagued with air conditioning and heating troubles at all.

Preventative Maintenance
Most HVAC service agreements include periodic inspections and routine maintenance procedures that are designed to keep your HVAC system in a state of good repair. This regular maintenance reduces your HVAC system’s susceptibility to major problems.

Energy Savings
The routine maintenance carried out on your HVAC system will also promote better indoor air quality and efficient operation of your air conditioner and heater. By keeping your HVAC system clean and up-to-date, it should operate more efficiently, cutting down your heating and cooling costs.

Priority Service
If trouble does arise with your service agreement-backed HVAC system, attending to the needs of your HVAC unit will be your service provider’s top priority. This means fewer hours of coping with the insufferable heat or biting cold that you experience when your system is not operating at its full capacity.

Protection from Expensive Repairs
If none of the other perks have sold you on the value of an HVAC service agreement, the fact that you will be protected against expensive repairs and replacement should. Included in your service agreement will be coverage for most repairs that, without coverage, would be very costly.
