Heat Pumps

An energy-efficient heat pump can give you a way to heat and cool your home and reduce your energy costs. It can provide year-round climate control for your home by supplying heat in the winter and cooling in the summer. Some types can also provide supplementary hot water heating.

In general, it would take a very large, uneconomical heat pump to meet your heating needs alone. However, together with a supplementary form of heating, such as an oil, gas, or electric furnace, a heat pump can provide reliable and economic heating in winter and cooling in summer. If you already have an oil, propane or electric heating system, installing a heat pump is an effective way to reduce your energy costs. A high-efficiency heat pump can save even more money and energy.

It is important to consider all the benefits and costs before purchasing a heat pump. While fuel costs may be lower for heat pumps than for conventional heating systems, they are more expensive to buy, and they may require new ducting as well. You should know how much servicing might be required by a heat pump, and at what cost. Carefully weigh your anticipated fuel savings against the initial cost. Finally, consider convenience. Heat pumps are most economical with year-round use. Investing in a heat pump will make sense if you are interested in both summer cooling and winter heating.
