Heat Pump Benefits
Efficiency=Savings: A study by the Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships found that when units designed specifically for colder regions were installed in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, the annual savings are around 3,000 kWh (or $459) when compared to electric resistance heaters, and 6,200 kWh (or $948) when compared to oil systems.
All-in-One Comfort: Cold-climate heat pumps deliver comfort all-year long since they can be used for both heating and cooling.
Convenient: No fuel storage or deliveries needed.
Environmentally Friendly: Lower greenhouse gas emissions than heating and cooling with oil, propane, natural gas, and electric resistance.
Versatile: Can be set up as ducted or ductless, and used for whole- or partial-home HVAC systems. With the multiple zone option, you can control the air temperature in different areas of your home.
Efficiency=Savings: Highest efficiency with lowest operating costs. Ground-source heat pumps require a small amount of electricity to drive the heating/cooling process. For every unit of electricity used in operating the system, the heat pump can deliver as much as five times the energy from the ground.
All-in-One Comfort: Geothermal provides stable, even temperatures throughout the home during the coldest winter nights or the hottest summer days. Since geothermal heat pumps rely on the constant heat inside the ground, they are not affected by outdoor air temperatures.
Convenient: No fuel storage or deliveries needed. No need for outdoor condensors or a/c window units.
Versatile: Pipes can be either in horizontal trenches just below the ground surface or in vertical boreholes that go several hundred feet below ground. Your installer will determine your needs based on land size, type of soil/rock and your home's heating and cooling needs.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, geothermal heat pumps are the most energy-efficient, environmentally clean, and cost-effective systems for heating and cooling buildings.
Efficiency=Savings: According to ENERGY STAR, a heat pump water heater can save a household of four people around $330 a year on an electric bill. That adds up to a savings of around $3,400 over the life of a typical heat pump water heater.
All-in-One Comfort: Cold-climate heat pumps deliver comfort all-year long since they can be used for both heating and cooling.
Convenient: No fuel storage or deliveries needed.
Environmentally Friendly: Lower greenhouse gas emissions than heating and cooling with oil, propane, natural gas, and electric resistance.
Energy Efficient: Electric heat pump water heaters, like all heat pumps, use electricity to move heat from one place to another. Upgrade is a heat pump water heater that earns the ENERGY STAR label, which is up to 4 times more efficient and uses 70 percent less energy than a standard model.
