Atlas Heating & Air Conditioning's Improved Technology Enhances Heat Pump Performance Recently expanded technology has allowed Atlas Heat & Air Conditioning to further improve the performance of geothermal/ground source heat pumps, increasing comfort and efficiency. December 3, 2008 -- Known for installing Virginia's warmest air-source heat pump systems on record, Atlas Heating & air Conditioning has managed to further enhance their signature heat pump Maximizer, enhancing both comfort and efficiency. Newly advanced technology allows the Maximizer device to measure heating performance in order to determine the exact level of thermal depletion that occurs with ground source heat pumps. All heat pumps experience thermal depletion, and often require various amounts of supplemental heat to compensate for the loss. Supplemental heat is a necessary evil that is often feared or rejected by homeowners. Many have even gone as far as to have it disabled in hopes of lowering their utility cost. Unfortunately this crippling of the system is more likely to do harm than it is to do good. The Maximizer's claim to fame is its unique ability to regulate and control supplemental heat sources for the most economical balance of comfort and efficiency. These economical developments mean a warmer home with a lower utility bill. |
