We wanted to provide an update on our ductless heat pump promotion for manufactured homes that launched in March 2019. Bend Heating was the exclusive heating and cooling contractor in Bend, OR to have been chosen by The Energy Trust of Oregon to professionally install ducted or ductless heat pumps for manufactured homes. And now that is was proven a success, the offer has been extended through December, 31 2019!

2 Year Heat Pump Study

In 2017, Bend Heating began a study with Energy Trust of Oregon that installed heat pumps or ductless heat pumps for 60 manufactured homes. Energy Trust of Oregon audited the differences in energy draw between newly installed heat pumps and electric furnaces. The difference was incredible. Homeowners saw a reduction in energy bills of over 50%. For this reason and many others, Bend Heating was selected as the only heating and cooling company in Central Oregon to be a part of this of this program.

Humidifiers Central Oregon

Humidifiers Knowledge For Central Oregon

Central Oregon is one of the most difficult places to live to have humidifiers function correctly and long-term. In a high dry cold climate, such as in Central Oregon, humidifiers are often used in homes to reduce the physical discomforts of dry nose, throat, lips, and skin. Humidifiers also add moisture to the dry air to alleviate common nuisances caused by winter heating, such as static electricity, peeling wallpaper, and cracks in paint, floors and furniture. That being said, we wanted to layout a few benefits of having proper humidification in your home and some problems with improper installments of different HVAC systems such as heat pumps, ductless heat pumps, air conditioning units and more.

Skin & Respiratory Benefits:

• Skin: Humidification is truly nurturing for our skin in dry weather. Having any type of heat output in a dry climate with a humidifier makes the temperature out of your furnace feel warmer, thus, adding more moisture to excessively dry skin, scratchy throats, chapped lip and dry eyes. This has an energy benefit and a lot of people end up lowering their thermostat, thus saving energy simply because it feels warmer at a lower temperature. This also creates a benefit for our health system.
• Respiratory: Humidifiers are an essential part for comfort and physical well-being. Many people with allergies and asthma and other respiratory diseases have a difficult time breathing (and sleeping) in an environment free from adequate moisture. The aid of proper humidification helps to shift back the moisture balance to an ideal level for added comfort and health. By installing a humidifier for home, you can keep control of the moisture in the air and easily maintain a comfortable humidity level.

Air Conditioning Service Bend Oregon – AC Installation Bend Oregon

Air Conditioning Service Before Summer

If you ask any HVAC industry expert on how to prevent your air conditioning system from breaking or having a longer life expectancy, all experts will tell you to have a regular scheduled air conditioning service. HVAC contractors have the knowledge, experience, and expertise to make sure that your air conditioning unit is functioning properly and effectively. This is the primary reason for hiring an HVAC contractor or repair technician for a scheduled routine maintenance.

The Need for AC Repair or Service Before Summer

The temperature inside your home can be unbearable if your air conditioning system is not operating efficiently and properly. Therefore, we stress the importance of planning ahead. No HVAC industry expert can predict what has happened to your air conditioning system. If you happen to wait, we can’t predict the wait time for any HVAC companies. You can find more benefits on why air conditioning is important.

Fortunately, we can clearly understand how heat pumps work and how the Carrier “Greenspeed” heat pump system revolutionized the already great technology and benefits of heat pumps.
