Understanding Heat Pumps

A Dual-Function Heating and Cooling Solution for Michigan Homes

In Michigan, a heat pump proves to be a highly versatile option for homeowners, functioning both as a heating and cooling system. By combining a heat pump with a furnace, you create a dual fuel system that guarantees year-round comfort. During the summer, the heat pump operates as an air conditioner, while in the winter, it efficiently extracts heat from the outdoor air and transfers it indoors to keep your home warm and cozy.

To achieve peak performance, a heat pump operates most efficiently when temperatures are above 35 degrees Fahrenheit. In colder weather, a furnace becomes the primary heating source. In regions like Michigan, where temperatures can significantly drop, homeowners may require an additional heating solution. However, by combining a Lennox heat pump with a highly efficient furnace, it is possible to establish an energy-saving dual-fuel system. This system reduces the consumption of natural gas and guarantees optimal comfort even during extremely cold days.

Energy efficiency is impacted by numerous factors, encompassing HVAC system design, size, and maintenance, as well as the local climate, building insulation, and occupant behavior. At Jacks Heating and Cooling, our team of comfort designers specializes in conducting comprehensive analyses and load calculations to aid in selecting the ideal HVAC system for residential and commercial properties. Through careful consideration of these crucial factors, we ensure enhanced energy efficiency and comfort for your home or business.

The amended Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit, which began in 2023 and extends through 2032, increases the tax credits as high as $600 for qualified air conditioners or gas furnaces, and up to $2000 for qualified heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, or boiler.

Jacks Heating and Cooling is dedicated to assisting customers in maximizing their credits for new heat pump installations. By leveraging the Federal Inflation Reduction Act alongside local Utility Rebates and manufacturer incentives, we actively work with our customers to ensure they receive the highest possible credits for their purchases.
