Looking to Cool Off? Save Money and the Environment by Switching to High Efficiency Heat Pumps

Last summer, Las Vegas made history. July 2023 was the hottest month on record, with an average daily temperature of 97.3 degrees, including a two-week stretch when the average crested 112 degrees. With summer just around the corner, now is the time to make sure your home is prepared. A revolutionary climate control system is now available: the high efficiency heat pump. The heat pump may have “heat” in its name, but this climate control system cools with the best of them and has several advantages over traditional HVACs.

“High efficiency heat pumps are the future of heating and cooling,” says Kevin Lee, Lead Technician at Air Supply Heating & Air Conditioning, a family-owned company serving the Las Vegas area. “Heat pumps stand out from other HVAC systems by offering a more energy-efficient solution for temperature control.”

Energy efficiency is critical. Like many cities experiencing extreme temperatures, Las Vegas faces the unique challenge of making living comfortable without further contributing to a warming climate. Heat pumps are universally recognized as the effective and cost-effective solution for a sustainable future, offering residents massive savings, as much as $20k during the lifespan of the system over traditional fossil-fuel burning HVAC systems. Saving money while saving the world? That’s win-win.

Air Supply Heating & Air Conditioning are the high efficiency heat pump installation professionals helping Las Vegas switch to this cost-effective and climate-friendly technology. With over 500 5-star reviews and 50 years of experience, Air Supply leads the way in both service and installation, offering customers free consultation to see if high efficiency heat pumps are right for them. Here are the advantages of heat pumps to help you make an informed decision on how best to keep your home cool for years to come.

Cooling and Heating – All in One

When someone hears “heat pump,” cooling doesn’t immediately come to mind. However, high efficiency heat pumps are revolutionary because they both cool and heat your home, providing year-round comfort with heating and cooling capabilities within a single system.

Heat pumps work by transferring heat with minimal energy consumption. During warmer months, a heat pump cools by extracting indoor heat and releasing it outdoors, like an air conditioner but with greater efficiency. When the temperature drops, the heat pump reverses its operation, absorbing heat from the outdoor air — even in cold climates — and transferring it indoors to warm the air.

Enhanced Efficiency Means Energy and Cost Savings

The high efficiency heat pumps installed by Air Supply are significantly more energy-efficient than traditional HVAC systems and can save you between $10k-$20k in energy costs over the lifespan of the system. Its dual functionality makes home temperature management easier while providing significant savings by eliminating the need to pay for and maintain separate heating and cooling systems that use costly fossil fuels.

Heat Pumps Are Climate Friendly

Heat pumps have a lower carbon footprint because they rely on electricity and do not burn fossil fuels directly. As the Las Vegas electricity grid becomes greener, often running on 100% renewable energy, the environmental impact of your heat pump is further minimized, aligning the comfort of your home with global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.

Enhanced Indoor Air Quality

Heat pumps can enhance indoor air quality by circulating and filtering the air within your home. Using advanced filtration systems that remove dust, pollen, and other particulates from the air, heat pumps ensure a cleaner and healthier indoor environment. Plus, because a heat pump doesn’t burn fossil fuels, combustion pollutants related to propane or natural gas won’t be introduced into your home.

Quieter and Less Intrusive

Compared to traditional HVAC systems, heat pumps are quieter and take up less space. The indoor and outdoor units of a heat pump are designed to operate with minimal noise, making them less disruptive to the household environment. Additionally, installing a heat pump requires less structural modification to a home, preserving the integrity of the living space while saving money on installation costs.

The Air Supply Advantage

Choosing the right company to care for your temperature control needs can make all the difference. Quality service and unmatched expertise in the field—that’s the Air Supply advantage. Air Supply has been voted Best in Vegas five years in a row while earning an A+ from the Better Business Bureau.

“I highly recommend this company,” says Sarah Chan, a recent Air Supply customer. “Our service rep Kevin was knowledgeable, efficient and professional. He patiently answered all our questions with great details. He made us feel safe with moving forward on installing a brand-new unit. 5 stars all around!”

Fellow Air Supply customer Mark C. agrees. “Kevin was AWESOME. What separates him and Air Supply from other companies is that he spent the time to explain what he was doing and why. From climbing into the attic and simply checking the air filters, he covered everything from A to Z. I would give Kevin and Air Supply AC & Heating 10 stars if I could!”

As the experts in high efficiency heat pump installation, Air Supply believes in educating their customer so they can make informed decisions. The company offers a free on-site estimate and evaluation to see if a heat pump system is right for you. Heat pump installation requires a level of expertise beyond many of Air Supply’s competitors, which is why most push traditional HVAC systems to their customers. This only puts us further away from a sustainable future for our families. Heat pump installation requires fewer conditioning zones and without the need for extensive duct systems — leading to lower labor costs and preserving the home’s aesthetic appeal. This makes heat pump installation a more attractive option for those looking to maintain peace and tranquility at home while also aiming to save money on energy costs.

Why Now Is the Time to Switch

If you’re looking to upgrade an older HVAC system, now is the time. Not only is summer quickly approaching, 2024 might be the last time residents of Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin, North Las Vegas, and Boulder City can take advantage of substantial rebates and incentives that make installing heat pumps more cost effective than ever. Federal tax credits offered through the Inflation Reduction Act for heat pumps that meet ENERGY STAR requirements, combined with NV Energy rebates through the Nevada Clean Energy Fund, are saving Nevadans big bucks. Add these savings to generous financing options and on-going savings in energy costs makes switching to high efficiency heat pumps a great option for many in the Las Vegas area.
