8 Heat Pump Secrets - Heat Pumps explained - Future of heat pumps

This video is about heat pumps being the future of the HVAC industry and some of the technology revolving around that. Joshua Griffin also explains the operation of a heat pump explaining it in a way anyone can understand. The future of heating and cooling is here! Ditch the old furnace and air conditioner and embrace the revolutionary technology of heat pumps. These versatile systems not only heat your home in the winter but also cool it in the summer, all while using up to 50% less energy than traditional systems. With inverter technology, lower utility costs, and lots of options, heat pumps may be the majority of new installations moving forward.

I had a huge breakthrough with my downstairs floor unit. It would fail to get the temperature up to what I had it set at. It was just a few things sitting on the shelf of a wine glass rack. Once it was cleared off, it readily kept the temperature at 22 C, where I set it, even up to 23 C. Unrestricted airflow is critical to these units properly.

The new Bosch IDS Ultra Heat pump that was just recently announced is interesting. 100% heating capacity down to 5 degrees, and able to operate down to -13 degrees. It can be communicating or non communicating based on individual need.

I will be installing a minisplit heatpump to offset propane during the day when solar can cover it

I’ve seen the exact same thing you mention here in Ohio. So many guys in HVAC are stuck in the past and don’t want to install or work on anything that’s not a 80% gas furnace with straight cooling. It’s a shame because they are hurting themselves as well as their customers

We have had heatpumps my whole life from what I remember, and they work here in Mississippi. The central went out during a freeze, and no one noticed. The only reason we knew was heblon came for their contracted inspection.

I have 7 heat pumps between my shop and home. 2 are high heat (vapor bypass). I also have radiant heat in my home and shop and even my dog pens and porches. The radiant is heated with a Navien condensing boiler in the home and a Triangle tube Prestige in the shop. So I can tell you from actually living with these systems that there is no comparison when comparing comfort. As far as making domestic water, there is nothing like a tankless water heater when trying to fill a 120 gallon whirlpool tub. That being said, heat pumps are not for high end homes designed for comfort. Next I would like to point out you should never compare efficiency when comparing different fuels, it means nothing. Case in point would be an electric water heater is 100% efficiency, a gas water heater about 65% but the gas water heater will cost you about 1/3 the cost of electric to run. Most people are already mathematically inept so don't confuse them with comparing different fuels with efficiency. Explain to them cost per BTU. Last but not least you need to explain to people that in cold weather climates as myself in PA. heat pumps will last about 10 years. So if you spend 10k on a heat pumps system you can figure 1k a year in replacement cost. Also if you lose a TXV or a reversing valve with snow and 10 degree weather like last week you can figure on running small electric heaters until spring. Cracking open a system with POE in wet weather will shorten that 10 years life span dramatically as the oil is very hygroscopic. Lets not blow sunshine up everyones butt like the EV manufacturers. Lets be honest about this. Josh, have you purchased any EV trucks for your shop yet?

ALWAYS have a back-up heat source, i.e. heat strips, in case your condenser/evaporator, etc. develops a problem. HVAC person may not be available until the next day while the temperature goes down to -F overnight!

Well Josh, as I had posted before if my ac system went out it would be replaced with a daikin. Well last week it went out and as it's 13 years old and out of warranty it's a no brainer. Why put more money into a old system ? I contacted my local daikin dealer and got a quote and with a rebate. I will be having the daikin system installed next week and can't wait. Keep up your great videos !! Daikin is a game changer

A little over the top with the crawfish on that guys va gals comment.

Nothing beats a furnace for heat in our area. More heat for less money. The environmental movement is way over played. There is a reason that HVAC contractors say a " heat pumps r a HVAC contractors best friend" its becuse they make more money on them.

I live in a mild climate in a well-insulated home. I'm less concerned about their ability to handle extreme cold than I am a high initial cost and a complexity that makes upkeep expensive. I'm ticked off at hints that federal bureaucrats, with their high salaries, will limit our choices to what they can easily afford rather than what we can afford. You need to address simple is better arguments.

Keep your old R-22 unit as long as you can!!!!
