Homeowners seeking a cost-effective way to remain warm, cozy and comfortable during the cold winter months in Central Virginia should take a long, hard look at installing a heat pump. It is one of the best bang-for-your-buck heating systems available on the market.
That is because a heat pump, unlike other types of heating systems, does not generate its own heat. Instead, it transports warm air to places throughout your home or office where it is needed.
When it's cold outside, the pump extracts outside heat and transfers it into your home. When it's warm outside, the pump acts like an air conditioner and removes heat from your house. This lowers the indoor temperature and, because of the heat extraction process, your unit consumes far less energy to make your living home or office comfortable on a year-round basis.
Zephyr Environmental Solutions offer multiple top-quality heat pumps for customers in Faber, Keene, Zion Crossroads, Shipman, Charlottesville, and throughout Central VA. We also offer a wide variety of furnaces.
To receive the maximum benefit of an energy-efficient, cost-effective heat pump from Zephyr Environmental Solutions, the unit must remain in mint condition. That can be challenging because of daily wear-and-tear. When your heat pump is in need of service, early warning signs include:

We did exactly as we were asked to do - we installed a 3 ton, 3 head ductless system serving a new pizza kitchen and bar storage area. We also cleaned all of the existing ductless systems onsite. In all, PJ Williams led a great team of contractors to deliver an awesome expansion at the brewery.
We performed a Manual J load calculation to determine the correct size unit and offered several options to meet their needs and goals. After their selection, we installed a 3.0 ton Daikin multi-split heat pump with 2 wall mounted indoor heads and 1 floor mounted head.
To begin the replacement of the heat pump system and its ductboard duct system, we removed the ductboard, bagging it in the attic to limit fiberglass contamination in the living space. We also recovered refrigerant and removed the existing equipment. Later we recycled the refrigerant as required by the EPA and recycled as much of the metal as possible.
We installed a plywood floor in the attic at Adrian's request and installed a custom-designed, insulated metal trunk duct system with manual dampers. We also replaced several branch supplies to solve some problem areas in the house and added one new supply in the foyer. Lastly we added three returns, one in each bedroom to ensure proper airflow even when doors are closed at night.
Outside, we built a custom pad and installed a 15.0 SEER Ruud heat pump connected to a constant torque blower motor to deliver efficient, quiet airflow.
Lastly we sealed the ducts using Aeroseal to achieve a tight, clean duct system.
We also installed several client-provided ECOBEE and NEST thermostats for wireless control of the home.
