Heat Pump Systems: What They Are & How They Work

A heat pump transfers heat from one place to another and can both heat and cool a space. It operates by moving heat rather than generating it, making heat pumps a highly energy-efficient option for regulating indoor temperatures. They are quiet and clean and use less energy than traditional systems, translating to real savings on energy.

Why NH Homeowners are
Switching to Heat Pumps

More residents are turning to high-efficiency HVAC systems. At Bergeron Mechanical Systems, we’ve seen the demand for heat pumps in New Hampshire grow rapidly.

In 2022, we installed 178 heat pumps (outdoor/condenser units), increasing to 300+ heat pumps in 2023, and 400+ heat pumps in 2024. This growth reflects a clear shift toward energy-efficient heating and cooling solutions.  We’re committed to helping more homeowners make the transition.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Heat Pumps?

Energy-conscious homeowners can reduce energy consumption and carbon footprints with efficient heat pumps.

Residents in colder climates benefit from modern heat pumps, which can operate effectively in freezing temperatures.

Homeowners who want year-round comfort can enjoy both heating and cooling from a single system.

Those seeking to lower energy costs can save money with the high efficiency of heat pumps.

Homeowners may also be eligible for rebates or incentives that further reduce installation costs.
