"We Make It Easy To Be Green"
With most fossil fuels providing an average of only 80% fuel efficiency, this means that 20% of what you purchase to heat your home, goes right up the chimney, plus, this is also sucking out the warm air that has been heated and requires a lot of fresh cold air to infiltrate into your home, further impacting the efficiency of the heating system. If you do not already have a heat pump system, we highly recommend that you hire a professional heat pump installer because your savings could be substantial.
Until recently, if I were to say you would do better by replacing your oil or gas heating system with an electric system, you could assume I was misinformed or simply ignorant of true heating costs, but times have truly changed, now that they have dramatically increased the efficiencies of the Heat Pump.
Basically, a heat pump is an air conditioner than can run in reverse. During the Heat Pump cooling cycle, it absorbs the heat inside your home and exhausts it outside. During the Heat Pump heating cycle, it absorbs the heat outside the home and exhausts it inside. What makes a heat pump so unusual is that it can find heat in outside air, even when the air temperature is close to 10 degrees F or -12 degrees C.
There is an universal law that you cannot create nor destroy energy, but can only transform it from one form to another. A Heat Pump uses electricity, but instead of simply providing 1KW of heat by burning 1KW of electricity, it extracts heat from the air and outputs more heat than what electricity alone would provide. In essence, it uses power to extract heat that is freely available, thus it provides more heat than the power it initially consumes.
The term used to describe the relationship to how much extra heat is absorbed from outside air is called the COP or 'Coefficient of Performance'. A good heat pump that has a COP of 2.5 means that is provides 2.5 times the amount of heat than what would normally be supplied by using electric resistance heating alone.
Primary advantages of heating with a heat pump are:
In addition to heating your home, heat pumps can now also provide the heat for creating hot water, and at a substantial savings of 2 to 3 times less than standard electric heaters. Heat pump water heaters also provide a considerable savings over fossil fuel water heaters, plus they provide many safety and health benefits as compared to using fossil fuels.
To summarize, heat pump technology allows you to use electricity in an extremely efficient manner that results in your heating costs being reduced by half or more, while also improving your homes state of health and reducing its carbon impact on the planet.
