Heat Pump Myths Debunked: What You Need to Know
Home >
When it comes to heat pumps, there’s no shortage of misinformation that can cloud your judgment. Fortunately, you can count on Sanford Temperature Control, the authority on heat pump installation in Manchester, NH, to set the record straight. If you’re considering a heat pump for your home, it’s essential to separate fact from fiction.
Let’s debunk some common heat pump myths so you can make an informed decision.
Myth 1: Heat Pumps Don’t Work in Cold Climates
Many homeowners believe heat pumps are only effective in mild climates, but that’s far from the truth. Modern heat pump replacement units, especially cold-climate models, are designed to extract heat from the air even in sub-zero temperatures. With advancements in technology, they can efficiently keep your home warm even during harsh winters.
Myth 2: Heat Pumps Are Too Expensive to Run
While heat pumps may have a higher upfront cost than traditional systems, their long-term savings often outweigh the initial investment. By transferring heat rather than generating it, they use significantly less energy, leading to lower utility bills. Regular heat pump maintenance ensures they continue operating efficiently, maximizing these savings. Over time, they’re not only cost-effective but also eco-friendly.
Myth 3: Heat Pumps Only Provide Heating
One of the biggest advantages of a heat pump is its dual functionality. It serves as both a heater in winter and an air conditioner in summer. However, like any system, it requires occasional heat pump repair and maintenance to ensure it operates smoothly. This versatility makes it an efficient, all-in-one solution for year-round comfort.
Myth 4: Installation Is Too Complicated
Understanding the truth about heat pumps can help you make a confident choice for your home. If you’re ready to enjoy the benefits of a heat pump or have questions about installation, send us a message at Sanford Temperature Control today!

I thought Derek was polite. Courteous knew what he was doing. Got my furnace fixed in one day. I was very appreciative and because of his service I will now only use you guys going forward. He’s a great technician.
I'm always impressed when a service provider takes the time to educate me about the product I bought. Eddie explained the protocols for maintaining my mini-splits
, provided me with the knowledge that he brought to the inspection and showed me how to improve the longevity of the product. In the process he convinced me to extend my service.
Good job -
Eric, our Sanford tech, did wonderful as always. maintaining our beast of a heating system takes skill. He is prompt and kind gets the maintenance taken care of quickly. He doesn’t mind the annoying dogs or the beam that you have to duck under going up and down stairs.
They check in the day before coming and Eric texts when on the way. He is always on time. We have been very happy with the work and the professionalism.
This was my first time using Sanford. Derek was amazing. He diagnosed the problem quickly, showed me the problem, and then quoted me a price which was very reasonable. He had the part on the truck and had the problem fixed within a half hour. From the person I made the appointment with, Irish, to the dispatcher I spoke with for an estimated time of arrival, to Derek, my experience was nothing but positive. I had such a great experience that I will always use Sanford for my heating, cooling, and plumbing needs. Highly recommended!
After Sanford did such an impressive job installing our new Bosch furnace last winter, it was a no brainer as to who we wanted to add a central air conditioner to our house.
They gave us two options and we chose to go with a heat pump. Jason and his team did an incredible job installing the system in just a single day. The quality of their workmanship is second to none and he couldn’t be a nicer person to work with.
Another great job by Sanford !
We had Brian B come to our home to conduct a follow up visit to evaluate our Carrier AC that was installed in February. Just like the three-man crew who did the installation, Brian B did an outstanding job of making sure that everything was working just fine. He answered all our questions and made sure we were confident that our AC would be working fine this summer. Great job.
Extremely happy with the service I received. Mike did an excellent job of servicing my HVAC system. He was very efficient, knowledgeable and took the time to answer all my questions. Also, the office personnel were very helpful and responsive to all my requests and questions regarding scheduling and pricing. I will be using them again and would highly recommend Mike.
Excellent service. Arrived on time. Asked me questions to diagnose any possible issues. Explained several things I did not know about my system.
Eric was very pleasant & thoroughly cleaned & diagnosed my system. Every Sanford employee with whom I have had dealings has been pleasant, attentive, and professional. A friend recommended Sanford to me & I recommend them to you as well. I have been very happy with my equipment & service & know I can contact them anytime with questions & concerns & they will respond in a timely manner. Thank you Eric!
Our tech was great! He was respectful of the space (and rolled with the chaos of small kiddos running around like goons), knowledgeable, and efficient. We’ve used Sanford for years and will continue to do so.
Kyle G. from Sanford was awesome and super respectful. They installed furnace and AC system. He explained everything without being condescending, helped set up the wireless system, checked it and his team cleaned up everything after the job. My standards are pretty high and Kyle not only met them, he exceeded them. Thank you.
