Heat pumps lower energy costs & create comfortable homes
While many homeowners assume heat pumps are just not equipped to deal with the heating and cooling needs in New York, this is simply not true. Heat pump technology has come so far that these systems can regulate temperatures in areas of -14 degrees.
Another assumption about heat pumps is that they use electricity and since electric heat is expensive, a heat pump will be too. Again, this is not the case. The reason electric baseboard heating is so expensive is that it is outdated and inefficient, while heat pumps have advanced so much, they are now comparable to natural gas.
Plus, if you end up going with a multi-zone system, you have the power to treat the air in the areas you choose rather than focusing on the entire home at once.
How home energy upgrades can improve the entire property
If you have recently installed energy upgrades or are looking to make some more, here are some ways those changes can impact one another:
- Solar energy: If you have solar or are planning on getting it, heat pumps run on electricity. This means that your system can also be powered by solar.
- Home insulation: Inefficient insulation and poor air sealing can negatively impact your utility costs and how well your HVAC system regulates temperatures. If air is leaking, your heating and cooling system will have to run longer and work harder to create a comfortable home.
- Reducing your carbon footprint: A properly insulated home that is solar-powered and uses a heat pump will be carbon-neutral. Not only does this significantly lower your energy costs, but it will also boost the resale value of the home and be much more eco-friendly.
