Heat Pump FAQs
Do heat pumps stop working in extreme cold?
Heat pumps don’t stop working in extreme cold but become less efficient below 20 degrees. In Detroit, MI, and the surrounding areas, temperatures drop low enough that most people either choose a hybrid system or retain furnace or boiler heat as a backup.
Are there different types of heat pumps?
There are three basic types of heat pumps—air to air, underground/underwater, and hybrid—and these can be further classified by heat pumps that are also ductless mini-splits, exhaust vent heat pumps, water or ground source heat pumps, and more. The primary difference is where they source their heating and cooling power, except for hybrid systems, which are usually air-to-air systems with an additional energy source to draw on when temperatures drop below freezing.
Should you put a cover over your outdoor heat pump unit?
Never directly cover your heat pump, as this will limit the unit’s airflow to function. It also creates a fire hazard and could cause considerable damage to your equipment.
