Heat Pumps

Finding a reliable heating and cooling system is crucial for your home's energy efficiency and your comfort. Having an outdated or unreliable HVAC system can not only lead to an uncomfortable home but can also result in high energy bills and poor indoor air quality. 

Whether you’re building a new home or updating an existing home, E3 INNOVATE can help you find a solution with our high-performance heat pump services. We provide customized heating and cooling load calculations and next generation heat pump installation throughout Middle Tennessee, along with extended maintenance to keep your system operating at peak performance for years to come. 

Why Choose a Heat Pump? 

Heat pumps offer a high-efficiency and all-electric alternative to traditional furnaces and air conditioners, putting both heating & cooling systems into one. In the summer a heat pump works like an air conditioner, by removing the heat from your home via a line of refrigerant. In the winter, a heat pump can work in reverse by extracting heat from the air outside and bringing it into your home. 

Heat pump installation offers many benefits to Middle Tennessee homes, including:

• Year-Round Comfort - The dual functionality of heat pumps allows them to be used throughout the year, keeping you cool in the summer and cozy during the winter.

• Efficient Heating & Cooling - Because heat pumps move heat rather than generate it, they are more energy efficient than combustion heating systems and can significantly reduce your energy usage.
• Promote Healthy Indoor Air - Heat pumps will continuously filter and dehumidify the air in your home, which can improve your indoor air quality and help you breathe easier. 
• No Combustion Safety Issues – All-electric heat pumps do not require piping propane or furnace gas into the house.

Heat Pump Sizing: Why It Matters 

When installing any new HVAC system in your home, proper sizing is crucial to performance. Oversized units may cycle on and off frequently while undersized units will struggle to meet demand, both of which will lead to increased energy consumption.

E3 INNOVATE implements industry best practices when it comes to proper load calculations, heat pump sizing, and installation to ensure your new system will operate at peak performance for years to come. We also recommend starting with a home energy assessment prior to installation to verify that your home’s insulation and air sealing are up to standard and won’t lead to energy loss or unnecessary wear and tear on your heat pump.

Types of Heat Pumps 

At E3 INNOVATE, we specialize in installing industry-leading HVAC brands and offer ducted, ductless mini split, and variable-speed dual-fuel heat pump systems in Nashville and surrounding areas.  E3 has led the Nashville market to incorporate whole home performance improvements.

Ducted Heat Pumps

Ducted heat pumps distribute conditioned air through your home’s central duct system, similar to a traditional HVAC system. They consist of an outdoor unit that’s connected to an indoor system and are controlled through a central thermostat. In the winter, the outdoor unit of a ducted heat pump extracts heat from the outside air, and can do so effectively even in below-freezing temperatures. Ductwork is a common source of energy loss in a home so it’s important to ensure your ducts are in good condition prior to installation.  We often design and install dual-fuel LENNOX heat-pumps in Middle Tennessee.

Ductless Mini Split Heat Pumps

Mini split heat pumps also transfer heat with the outside air, however instead of connecting to a single indoor unit, they connect to strategically placed air handlers throughout your home. Because each air handler can be individually controlled, they give you the ability to heat and cool certain rooms or zones without wasting energy to condition unused areas. Ductless heat pumps are a great option as supplemental heating and cooling in rooms your ductwork may not reach, or as a whole-home solution for zoned comfort and optimal efficiency.  E3 INNOVATE often installs Mitsubishi Electric Hyper-Heat ductless mini splits in Middle Tennessee homes.

Geothermal Heat Pumps

Unlike air-source heat pumps, geothermal systems transfer heat through the stable temperatures just under the Earth’s surface, making them the most efficient of heat pump options. They consist of an indoor unit that connects to your central ductwork and an outdoor ground loop system that’s installed underground. Despite their advanced efficiency, geothermal heat pumps aren’t the best option for every home. Our team can help determine if it’s right for you based on several factors, such as the extent and complexity of the groundwork needed for installation.
