In Quebec, the outside temperature can drop to -12°C, or even more, in winter, while in summer, it can reach up to over 30°C. The use of heating and air conditioning devices is therefore essential to maintain comfortable conditions inside your home during all seasons.

Currently, more and more households are turning to heat pumps because of their practicality, but above all because they are particularly economical. Are you also convinced that this is the type of device to choose at home? In this case, discover the brands you should prefer to find what you need.

What is a heat pump and how does it work?

In general, a heat pump is an electrical device whose main function is to transport heat from one place to another in order to create a comfortable atmosphere inside your home, both in summer and in winter. Its operation is relatively simple:

• In winter, it captures energy (heat) from the air or from the outside ground in order to bring it inside. Medium-performance devices offer attractive efficiency up to around -7°C. Their efficiency then gradually decreases beyond this temperature, making it necessary to use another heat source during periods of extreme cold.
• In summer, it evacuates heat to the outside to cool the indoor atmosphere.

We thus notice that the heat pump transfers heat, but does not produce it. This is the reason why it consumes little electricity compared to other electrical devices such as furnaces. This is how it is more economical. According to studies, it could save up to more than 30% on electricity bills, if it is of good quality.

What about the installation of your heat pump?

The installation of a heat pump is a delicate intervention that it is better to entrust to a professional to ensure the durability and optimal efficiency of the device as well as the safety of the building's occupants. Indeed, it is necessary to find the ideal location of the device and assemble the system, ensuring that all the speakers are securely attached and that the pipes are connected correctly.

How to optimize the performance of your heat pump?

1. Choosing a device that's right for the size of your home and the climate in your region

You will find several heat pump models on the market that are essentially distinguished by their efficiency and size. Therefore, choose a device whose characteristics are adapted to the size of the space to be heated or air-conditioned.

You should also take into account the climatic conditions in your region and favor high-performance devices in case you do not plan to use another heating source during periods of extreme cold.

2. Ensure good thermal insulation of your home

The thermal insulation of a house has a great influence on the performance of a heat pump, and of any other heating device for that matter. In fact, small openings or cracks in doors and windows cause more or less significant energy losses in winter, for example.

It will then take much more energy than normal to create a comfortable temperature inside, resulting in a significant decrease in the efficiency of the heat pump. Fortunately, we can also take care of the insulation of your building. Here are our offers:

• Polyurethane insulation
• Blown cellulose insulation
• Installation of solid, resistant, efficient and insulating doors and windows.
