HOW A HEAT PUMP WORKS
CABS Heating & Air Conditioning has been the leader in Energy Efficient Homes for several years by partnering with manufacturers like Mitsubishi, American Standard, and Bradford & White. These companies have created some of the most energy-efficient equipment on the market today. Heat Pumps are not a new technology. They are, however, significantly more efficient than in years past. Instead of burning fuel, Heat Pumps use refrigerants to move heat from one place to another. See our mini split systems.
A win-win scenario, saving you money while saving the planet
The worst impacts of climate change can be averted by eliminating the use of fossil fuels in the over 14 million homes across California. For the average home, replacing a gas furnace or water heater with a heat pump cuts heating-related climate pollution by 45% over the next ten years. Cutting utility usage and expense is especially true if you’ve installed, or plan on installing a Solar PV system in your home. You no longer pay a gas bill to heat your home, let the sun cover the costs!
