Although the heavy rainfall in Portland may sometimes dampen spirits, we should always keep in mind that in the Pacific Northwest we enjoy relatively mild winters compared to much of the nation. This weather is ideal for a heat pump, a comfort system that provides both heating and cooling. Heat pumps can handle the hottest days of a Portland summer without trouble, and the temperatures in winter rarely drop below a heat pump’s ability to provide warmth.
At Clean Air Act, we often suggest Amana heat pumps to many of our customers looking for heating services in Portland, OR. Here are some of the reasons we recommend them:
- Heating energy efficiency: Heat pumps use electricity to run mechanical parts, unlike electric furnaces or boilers, which use electricity to directly warm up air or water. This means that heat pumps only use a fraction of the power of other electric systems. They use less power than gas, oil, and propane heaters as well. A family of 4 can save up to 30% annually off their heating bills with a heat pump. Amana offers some of the most high-efficiency models available, far exceeding the U.S. government’s requirements for the Energy Star label.
- Variety of options: Amana makes numerous sizes and types of heat pumps to fit any space or heating/cooling budget. With knowledgeable installers trained on Amana models, you are almost guaranteed to find a system that will match your home’s needs and your energy-saving plans.
- Environmentally friendly: Amana heat pumps use R-410A, a chlorine-free refrigerant, to move heat into or out of your home. These heat pumps have little negative impact on the environment and produce no ozone-depleting emissions.
- Unit replacement warranty: Amana offers a lifetime limited warranty that will pay for parts and replacement for 10 years. If you have regular maintenance for your unit and all necessary repairs done on time, you can expect the heat pump to last even longer than that.
