4. What Is a Heat Pump and How Is it Different From a New AC?
Cambridge HVAC: Air conditioners cool your home while heat pumps can cool and heat your home.
A heat pump is a heating and cooling system that transfers heat from one place to another. In the summer, a heat pump will extract heat from inside your home and transfer it outside to cool your home. Then during the winter months, it will extract heat from the air or ground outside your home and transfer it inside to warm your home.
Heat pumps are incredibly energy-efficient because they don’t generate heat; they simply move heat from one place to another. This makes them a great alternative to traditional heating and cooling systems, which can be very expensive to operate.
Getting a heat pump installation done in your home will result in lower energy usage and bills, saving you tons of money!
What's the difference between a heat pump and a traditional AC/Furnace?
A heat pump can both heat and cool your home. An air conditioner can only cool your home and a furnace can only heat your home. An air conditioner is typically paired with a furnace that way you have heat during the cold months and cooling during the warm months.

“We had an amazing experience with this company. If we ever move and need to upgrade/replace our Heating/Cooling — we will be using Service 1st again. Corey was very friendly and knowledgeable during his initial assessment. He was quick to get an appointment set up with Peter who explained what our best options were for new equipment. Peter also explained the basics behind the Home Energy Rebates.
Brandon and Sam were amazing when in our home to install the new equipment and clean the air ducts. They were very respectful of our home and made sure to leave things clean.
We’ve had zero issues with our furnace or heat pump. We’ve noticed a significant decrease in our energy consumption — comparing June 2022 (using our old AC unit) vs June 2023 (our new heat pump).”
