Are you searching for the optimal HVAC unit to install in your Costa Mesa home? Look no further than a heat pump! Heat pumps are ideal for subtropical climates like California that rarely dip below freezing. Contrary to the way the name sounds, these types of units can actually be utilized both as a heater and air conditioner – “heat” simply refers to their capability of transferring temperature rather than creating it.
Heat pumps are unlike the majority of other heating choices as they do not generate heat – instead, during winter months, they transport warmth from either outdoor air or ground and move it inside. Even in freezing weather conditions, there is still residual heat energy present in the atmosphere. In summertime though, this process runs backwards: Heat pumps channel indoors’ heat to be discharged outdoors.
Heat pumps are available in three varieties: air, water, and ground sources. All of them transfer heat from one place to the other; though their functions may differ slightly. The indoor handler and outdoor unit act as the core components for all these systems which are connected by refrigerant lines. In addition, evaporator, compressor, condenser and expansion valve play an important role too!
With our Mitsubishi Heat Pumps, the inverters are always running in the background, adjusting the compressor speed in real time. By ramping up power to the compressor when needed, an inverter provides a more accurate, on-demand approach to temperature control. If your room temperature’s already a comfortable 72 degrees, for example, an inverter may slow the compressor’s engine to a crawl. If your room’s cooking at 104 degrees, the inverter will push the compressor into high gear, keeping you out of the hot seat.
Heat pumps can provide your home an array of benefits and keep your home comfortable year-round. Below we have listed five of the many advantages of heat pumps.

We’ll inspect your thermostat to make sure it’s up-to-date. Furthermore, we will check its link to the heat pump and rectify any glitches that might arise. If your thermostat is faulty, you won’t be able to experience a comfortable home temperature even though the system itself may run correctly.
The ducts act as a system of airflow throughout your home, cooling and/or warming certain areas. Unfortunately, if the ductwork contains tears or is obstructed in any way, this can obstruct the entire process and lead to deeper problems later on down the road.
To guarantee your refrigerant is functioning as it should, we will assess the system for leaks and make sure everything runs smoothly. As long as there aren’t any issues, you won’t ever have to replace or refill anything. However, in case of a problem with this component, rest assured that we’ll let you know right away.
If your heat pump is struggling to keep you comfortable, clogged coils or a blocked blower may be the culprit. Our skilled technicians will clear out dirt and debris so that your machine can properly cool and heat air again without any obstruction.
