What we did
This June, we completed a heat pump replacement at a home in Lancaster. Along with installing the new heat pump, we took care of a couple of upgrades that make the system easier to live with.
We added an 18 x 20 polarized filter as part of the installation. A good filter helps protect the new equipment and keeps the air moving through the home cleaner. We also updated the thermostat to one with phone connectivity. That means the homeowner can check and adjust the temperature from a phone instead of walking to the wall, whether they are in another room or away from the house.
A heat pump handles both heating and cooling, so in Kentucky it runs through hot summers and chilly winters alike. Pairing new equipment with better filtration and a more convenient thermostat gives the homeowner improved efficiency and more control over their comfort year-round. It also makes it simpler to keep an eye on the system and adjust settings as the seasons change, which is a practical benefit in a climate where the weather can shift from one week to the next.
