Heat pumps work differently from traditional furnaces and boilers. Rather than creating heat through combustion, they transfer heat from one location to another using refrigerant technology.
During the winter, a heat pump extracts available heat from the outdoor air and moves it indoors to warm your home. In the summer, the process reverses, removing heat and humidity from your living spaces and transferring it outside.
A typical system includes an outdoor unit connected to one or more indoor air handlers. This design allows heat pumps to provide efficient heating and cooling from a single system while maintaining steady indoor comfort.
When summer temperatures arrive, your heat pump can provide dependable cooling while keeping energy use under control.
For many households, a thermostat setting around 78°F offers a comfortable balance between cooling performance and efficiency when the home is occupied. If you’re away for extended periods, raising the temperature several degrees can help reduce energy consumption without sacrificing comfort.
To maximize summer performance:
These simple steps can help your system cool more effectively while reducing strain on the equipment.
Heat pumps generally perform best when maintaining a consistent indoor temperature.
Unlike traditional heating systems that frequently cycle on and off, heat pumps are designed to operate steadily over longer periods. Constantly adjusting the thermostat can actually reduce efficiency and make it harder for the system to maintain comfort.
Many homeowners find that a setting around 68°F provides a good starting point during winter. Depending on your home’s insulation, layout and personal preferences, slight adjustments may improve comfort.
