Detroit, Feb. 13, 2025 — Homeowners in colder climates, rejoice! C & C Heating & Air Conditioning, a leading Detroit-area company with over 70 years of experience, is highlighting the benefits of the latest heat pump technology. These advancements make heat pumps efficient even in very cold temperatures, offering an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional heating and cooling systems.
“When heat pumps first gained popularity, they struggled in cold weather,” says Dayna Hottle, general manager of C & C Heating & Air Conditioning. “But with improved compressors and enhanced coil designs, they now work just as well in cold climates as in moderate ones. This is great news for those in the northern United States looking to save money.”
Why Choose Heat Pumps?
- Energy Efficiency: Heat pumps are often more efficient than furnaces or boilers because they don’t generate heat, resulting in significantly lower energy consumption.
- Eco-Friendly: They don’t burn fossil fuels, making them a greener choice.
- Dual Functionality: Heat pumps can also cool the air during hotter months, eliminating the need for both an air conditioner and a furnace.
Hottle adds, “Heat pumps can save the average household about $500 a year on utility bills.”
Installation Considerations
While heat pumps offer many benefits, they can be more expensive to install due to specialized equipment and potentially additional permitting requirements. Hottle advises, “Make sure your contractor is licensed, certified, and understands how to properly install a heat pump.”
New Regulations
Starting in 2025, all new residential and light commercial heat pumps will be subject to new regulations and will require A2L refrigerants.
