Heat Pumps

Top-Quality Heat Pumps From Cardinal Heating & Air

When it comes to heating and cooling products, a heat pump is unique in that it can act as both a heater and an air conditioner. This makes it ideal for homeowners because it’s a practical HVAC solution, bringing together two functions in one. Cardinal Heating & Air recommends heat pumps because they are a very efficient way to provide heating and cooling in the greater Seattle region, due to the mild climate here.

Heat Pump Basics

Heat pumps function by transferring heat from one area to another. They don’t generate heat so they instead absorb heat energy from outdoor air and bring it in. In cooling mode, heat pumps absorb heat from indoor air and release it outside. This system is equipped with outdoor and indoor units.

Is a Heat Pump for You?

Since heat pumps absorb heat from outside and transfer it into your home instead of generating heat using gas or electricity, they are more affordable to operate right off the bat, making them ideal for those looking to save on energy costs. The best part is they are very efficient to run and do not put out carbon emissions, making them a “green” product and just right for our Seattle area.

Heat pumps have a lot to offer but to make the most of getting one, make sure you choose one from a reputable brand and you work only with a trusted HVAC expert to have it installed.

Hybrid Heat Systems

Cardinal Heating & Air can install a new heating or cooling system for your home that will lower your carbon footprint. The Hybrid Heat dual fuel system is a great innovation. Hybrid Heat dual fuel systems can use either electric or gas to fuel the system depending on fuel costs. This unique system finds the balance point and provides the best delivery method based on your settings in the system.

Benefits of a Hybrid Heat System

The Hybrid Heat dual fuel system delivers exceptional heating performance by utilizing a heat pump that’s incredibly energy-efficient during moderate heating conditions. If the temperature drops outside, then it automatically switches to natural gas if it determines that this is the most economical way to keep your house comfortable. In addition, this dual fuel system also provides cooling, to provide indoor comfort when it’s hot outside. You can use this system as your year-round indoor comfort solution.

This system features automatic control. After installation, we can select a balance point that tells your Hybrid Heat system when it’s best to select electric heat and when it’s time to switch to natural gas for operation. However, utility rates in your area might change. That’s why this balance point can be easily adjusted. This system features seven-day programmability so you can create a comfort schedule that fits your lifestyle.

TESTIMONIALS

What Our Clients Say

Always great service by Cardinal. Jarred was very courteous and friendly.
Lee Miyasato
We have a 100+ year old Craftsman house and wanted to upgrade to a heat pump system. We had multiple bids which were unsettlingly all very different. Jonas from Cardinal was the most thorough and ended up recommending a hybrid system very different from the others. (Before I mention the quality of the work, I say want to say the system works extraordinarily well - the decision the accept the limitation of the 100 year old ducting system and work with it was brilliant.) We had the new heat pump system installed in July 2024 with a new ducted system for the second floor. The Cardinal installation team really did an excellent job. They were also very professional, and thoughtfully walked us through some of the installation issues and decisions we needed to make . Their daily cleanup was excellent. We are continually surprised by how well the systems works. We mostly wanted to use the system for the summers, particularly for the smoke events and weren't sure the cooling would be well distributed. But thanks to the suggestion by Josh that we wire up a switch to use the old gas furnace's fan in the summer, the cool air is distributed pretty well. And the heating effect is really wonderful. We had a post installation problem with leaking condensation causing some ceiling damage. Cardinal made good on the installation paying for the repairs continuing their excellent service. Cardinal is one of the best contractors we ever worked with - I can't recommend them highly enough!

Elena Steele
Turned out to be a complicated project to add heat pump. Our electric service was just adequate for the installation. The Cardinal team was great all around from Jonas and Dylan getting things set up to Luis, Luis, Terry and Drew on the install and fine tuning. Would highly recommend.
