How often should I have my heat pump serviced?

You should have your heat pump serviced at least once a year. If you use your heat pump for heating and cooling, you should service it twice annually, in the fall and the spring.

What is the life span of a heat pump?

The average life span of a heat pump is 10-15 years. Because heat pumps run year-round to heat and cool your home, they don’t always last as long as a typical heating or cooling system. However, you can extend the life span by ensuring that your unit is routinely maintained by an HVAC professional.

Accessible Smart Home Technology? You bet!

Many homeowners feel overwhelmed when they think about smart home technology. With so many options and devices to choose from, it can be hard to know where to start. The smart home market is still relatively young. It currently generates 2.74 billion US dollars in revenue in Canada. By 2023, the smart home market will reach 3.8 billion dollars in sales.

While it is true that there are many options for setting up a smart home, it doesn’t have to be complicated. At Kraun Electric, we work with homeowners to plan and install a smart home system that meets their needs or wants and nothing more. There are systems for all levels of comfort with technology.

The Simplest Smart Home Set-Up

One of the simplest but most effective examples of smart home technology is a switch to control lighting on your bedside table. Getting up during the night has never been safer or more convenient. By programming the lights to come on at a dim level with the touch of a button by your bedside, you can light your way without disturbing sleeping family members.

A smart thermostat is another simple, practical solution. It can save you money and increase your comfort level in your home. Not only can you access and change the thermostat while you’re away from home, but it can also detect when you’re at home and operate accordingly.

The All-In Set Up

Kraun can help you design a complete smart home solution that will seamlessly integrate with your life. From the convenience of your phone or another device, you can control everything – blinds, door locks, lights, security cameras, smoke detectors, and all your electronics.

Imagine pulling into your driveway at night and having the lights in your home come on automatically. Your garage door opens. By the time you get to the door, it is already unlocked. Your thermostat turns up or down, depending on the time of year and your desired comfort level. Welcome home.
