Heating is a major area of the household energy budget
I was initially reluctant to install a hybrid heating system because of the cost. This type of system combines an electric heat pump with a natural gas gas furnace. It provides year round temperature control plus considerable energy savings. The advantage of choosing a heat pump rather than an a/c is that it combines heating plus cooling into a single unit. Rather than burning fuel to create heat, it moves existing heat between the indoors plus the outdoors. Because there’s no combustion process, the heat pump doesn’t produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, redhouse gasses or fumes. The operation is especially clean, safe plus environmentally friendly. It’s more energy efficient than the gas furnace. The summers in my local section tend to be drastically warm plus humid. The heat pump really handles the high temperatures plus effectively humidifies. When the outside temperature drops, the heat pump literally reverses operation. Rather than pull heat out of the house, it draws ambient heat from the outside. The heat pump maintains legitimately even comfort, doesn’t introduce contaminants into the air plus won’t cause concerns with insufficient humidity. The heat pump operates for most of the year. When the outdoor temperature drops below freezing, it struggles to keep up. The gas furnace automatically starts up plus takes over, handling the household needs for as long as necessary. Our local winters frequently bring conditions down to downside twenty several degrees. Heating is a major area of the household energy budget. The reduction in both heating plus cooling costs has salvageed the startup costs. All of us are totally cheerful with the level of comfort.
