Did you know home heating is the largest energy expense for most U.S. homeowners?1 Or that home-heating accounts for nearly 30 percent of energy used in the nation’s residential buildings?2 You don’t have to be an energy-enthusiast to know you’ve got options when it comes to heating and cooling your home.
The more traditional way of heating or cooling a home is through the use of furnaces and air-conditioners, but increasingly so, heat pumps are being used as photovoltaic (PV Solar Systems) continue to gain popularity. In simple terms, these heat pumps, known as Air-Source Heat Pumps (ASHP), recycle heat found naturally in the air, moving it indoors and out. In the same way that a refrigerator moves heat from food to the room, a heat pump removes heat from outside air to heat the home.
If installed properly, according to the U. S. Department of Energy, heat pumps can improve the comfort of your home by delivering up to three times more heat energy than the electrical energy it consumes and reduce heating/cooling bills by an estimated 50 percent.
Ask yourself these questions to know if a heat pump system is a good fit for you and your home.
