Quick Pitch: Heat Pumps Provide Efficient Comfort

Quick Pitch: Heat Pumps Provide Efficient Comfort

Published: 7/25/2025 8:50:43 PM

Got a quick minute? Learn how heat pumps can help you breathe easier with improved comfort, lower energy costs and fewer emissions.

Your browser doesn't support HTML5 video tag.

Employee comfort is linked to productivity and higher retention, which is why heat pumps make so much sense. Heat pumps can improve employee comfort while lowering your heating and cooling costs.

Yeah, that's right — heating and cooling. Heat pumps provide year-round comfort with just one unit. They're extremely efficient because they don't have to create heat, they just move it — out of the building when you need cooling and into the building for heating.

Heat pumps can be up to 300% more efficient than heating with a furnace. Plus, they don't create any combustion gases, so you can breathe easy with fewer emissions concerns within your facility. And, with only one unit for both heating and cooling, you can also streamline maintenance costs. No more dealing with different experts for different technologies.

So, whether you go with an air-source or geothermal heat pump, you'll improve employee comfort, reduce heating and cooling costs and earn a shiny green badge to put on your year-end report.
