With the weather heating up in Newfoundland, many homeowners in our province are unfortunately depending on old and inefficient cooling equipment like window air conditioning units.
But Harvey’s can help you upgrade to more efficient systems that deliver reliable, even cooling throughout your home, including central heat pumps and ductless mini-splits.
Heat pumps work differently from other heating and cooling systems. They don’t generate heat. Instead, they transfer it between the inside and outside air of your home using refrigerant.
In the warm months, these systems function a lot like central air conditioning systems, moving heat out of your home to cool down your rooms. In the winter, they reverse this process, transferring heat from outdoor air into your home. This technology has progressed quite a bit in recent decades, so that some of these systems are viable as primary heating sources in our region.
Here are some of the heat pump products that Harvey’s sells and installs.
A Carrier central heat pump handles both heating and cooling through a single system — an outdoor compressor paired with an indoor air handler, distributing conditioned air evenly throughout your home via new or existing ductwork. We install Carrier heat pumps with the most advanced systems available. Their adaptable-speed technology and Infinity System Control precisely match your home’s comfort needs at any given moment, delivering up to 23 SEER2 efficiency in virtually any weather — all while running whisper-quietly. Our specially trained technicians ensure your system is installed and optimized for peak performance from day one.
Homes without existing ductwork can still enjoy long-term, highly efficient cooling with a Haier ductless mini-split system. These systems connect indoor and outdoor units through thin conduits in your wall — no ductwork needed — delivering powerful air conditioning and supplemental heat to targeted zones throughout your home. Zoned cooling means different rooms can be kept at different temperatures, trimming unnecessary energy use and lowering your summer electricity bills.
Haier mini-splits are designed to be easy to install, with flexible piping that allows indoor unit placement on nearly any wall. Precise room-by-room temperature control is managed effortlessly via remote, WiFi adapter or app. And Haier backs its product with some of the best warranty coverage in the industry.
Harvey’s also installs highly-rated ductless mini-splits from Carrier. Designed to fit seamlessly into any environment, Carrier mini-splits are an ideal solution for cooling a sunroom or a whole home — all without intrusive ductwork. Advanced inverter technology delivers consistent temperatures, quiet operation and excellent energy efficiency, making them a smart choice for any home upgrade or addition.
(Please note that, while ductless mini-splits can provide supplemental heat in milder months, they are not rated as primary heat sources. You should pair them with a traditional heating system, like a hot water furnace.)
Harvey’s customers have access to 24/7 emergency service from a trusted home comfort team that has served the region for more than 160 years. When your heat pump or mini-split needs attention, you can count on us to be there.
