Are you asking yourself what HVAC product options are available to help you increase the energy efficiency in your home? If your electric bills are going up at an alarming rate as the temperature outside is going down, it might be time to consider a new heating system. Knowing which one to choose is the tricky part. Here’s what you need to know about the different types of heating systems to make the right decision to save energy and money:
Gas furnaces are among the most efficient type of heating available. New gas heating systems can be up to 50% more efficient than older furnaces, with significantly higher energy efficiency ratings. This makes your furnace more effective and less expensive to run.
Heat pumps are one of the greenest energy and heating sources available. These systems pull heat from the outside air using an electric pump to warm the air in your home. Even on cold days, there is enough warm air outside to be able to pull that energy from the ground to heat your home. This is a great way to heat your house and save money on your electric bill.
A dual fuel system, also called hybrid heat, offers homeowners the convenience of a combo pack. It consists of a gas furnace and an electric heat pump in one unit. The purpose of a dual system is to maximize energy efficiency during a mild winter. If the weather is mild, the heat pump is sufficient to keep your home warm and comfortable, but if the temperature outside drops below freezing, the gas furnace takes over. It’s the best of both worlds and provides an energy efficient heating solution.
