Heat Pumps

An oil steam to gas forced air conversion in a 150 year old home in Arlington. This is a 99% efficient Bosch GWH850 tankless on demand hot water system that will save our clients over 80% on their fuel bill for hot water production.

In addition to our air conditioning installation and furnace repair services, Airco also provides complete heat pump installation and repair. Heat pumps work by moving heat instead of generating it through combustion; they do use electricity to move the heat, but it is a minimal amount. Heat pumps operate along the same lines as a refrigerator, moving heat from a cooler space into a warmer space. During the cold months, the heat pump will transfer warmth from the cool outside to the warmer house, making it even warmer; and during the summer months, the heat pump works in the opposite direction, shifting heat from the cool house to the hotter outdoors, making the house even colder. Most standard head pumps are designed to work with the existing ductwork in your home, so installation is quick and hassle-free.

However, despite their efficiency during warm months, heat pumps can't function optimally at extremely cold temperatures. That's why Airco recommends the new hybrid heat pump for installation in the Boston area. These new, ultra-efficient heating systems combine a gas furnace and a heat pump for true year-round efficiency. Like a hybrid car has two energy sources, hybrid heat pumps have two heat sources and can switch between the two automatically for optimal function. Airco offers complete sales and installation on hybrid heat pumps, so if you're ready to upgrade to the best in energy efficiency, call us today!

Ground Source Heat Pumps (Geothermal Heating and Cooling)

In addition to traditional heat pumps, Airco is pleased to offer efficient and environmentally-friendly ground source heat pumps. These systems are among the most efficient heating and cooling options on the market today--and they're eco-friendly as well as inexpensive. The concept is relatively simple: a loop of piping is installed in the ground under your home and depending on the season, a liquid (either antifreeze or water) flowing through the loop heats or cools your home. In the summer, the relatively cold soil cools the hotter liquid before returning to the house and in the winter the relatively warm soil heats the liquid and subsequently your home. It's a safe, renewable alternative to fossil fuels and can help reduce your home heating costs by as much as 70%!

Airco has extensive experience installing ground source heat pumps. We have the skills to analyze geological conditions and soil types to find the best location for your ground loop. We'd love to help you save money and go green at the same time. Call us today to learn more about installing a ground source heat pump for your home or office.
