THE IMPORTANCE OF HEATING SERVICES IN SEATTLE

Having a furnace company you can count on is important, even in a relatively temperate climate like the Pacific Northwest. Seattle’s coldest day on record was in 1950 when the temperature dropped below zero. This was part of a severe outbreak of winter weather that started two weeks earlier, with snowfall averaging 10 inches. This storm dropped as much as 21.4 inches of snow at Sea-Tac International Airport. Ice dams and frozen pipes became big problems for residents as temperatures rose and fell throughout this frigid winter.

This is why having a properly maintained heating system in your home is of the utmost importance. You never know when conditions could become that frigid again, and when they do you and your family need to be able to remain comfortable in your house. Our experts will make sure every aspect of your system is kept running at optimal levels of performance and efficiency. When you work with us, you can rest assured we only use the highest-quality parts for installations and repairs to keep everything running as well as it should.

 

HEAT PUMPS

Heat pumps are an energy-saving and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional heating and air conditioning. Heat pumps work by funneling air in and out of your home, which makes them a great all-in-one solution for year-round heating and cooling.

While heat pumps have higher initial costs than a traditional HVAC system, a key benefit is that they move heat around, rather than generating it, which means you’ll save money in the long run by spending less on your monthly heating and cooling bills.

A proper heat pump installation requires special tools and experience. At Blue Flame, our technicians have the training and the expertise to install your heat pump system with ease.

TYPES OF HEAT PUMPS:

  • Absorption heat pumps: Pumps that use natural gas, propane, or hot water to reach and maintain the temperature of your home.
  • Air-source heat pumps: Pumps that provide 1.5-3 times more heat energy compared to the electricity they consume.
  • Ground-source heat pumps: Pumps that transfer warm air back and forth from the ground to effectively heat your home.

DUCTLESS HEAT PUMPS

Ductless heat pumps are one of the many environmentally friendly products we offer our customers. Ductless heat pumps are made up of two components, a compressor or condenser and an indoor air-handing unit, and don’t require ductwork. Compared to traditional heating options, ductless heat pumps have the following advantages:

  • Simpler and less extensive installation process
  • Greater energy efficiency than ductwork
  • Greater heating and cooling flexibility per area/room

Ductless heat pumps are ideal for new construction homes and homes with electric heat, as well as homes that have undergone renovation.

 

HEATING MAINTENANCE
