"but for anyone in a colder climate, they're typically not what keeps us up at night. The onset of winter brings to center stage a homeowner's least favorite utility equation: Fuel Cost + Electricity Cost = Big Bucks Dry air and uneven heating might be nagging factors that stick in our craw, but this dollar amount of total energy costs can be highly variable and exorbitant enough to make us consider a longer-term investment."
"Using modern refrigerants -- chemically sophisticated compounds that behave almost magically in their ability to absorb, transport, and release heat -- a heat pump is a fully electric, highly efficient, and zero on-site emission system that has been gaining traction in recent years. According to findings from independent research firm Habitelligence, driven by the most pressing challenge of energy costs, the adoption of electric heat pumps has more than doubled as a share of total heating systems over the past 15 years."
Traditional heating systems can produce loud, uneven heating and dry indoor air, causing discomfort and high winter energy bills. Fuel and electricity costs combine to create unpredictable and often high total energy expenses that motivate homeowners to seek alternatives. Electric heat pumps use modern refrigerants to move heat efficiently, run fully on electricity, and produce zero on-site emissions. Adoption of electric heat pumps has more than doubled as a share of total heating systems over the past 15 years, driven largely by rising energy costs. Modern heat pumps deliver quieter, smoother whole-home comfort, while geothermal systems offer stable comfort with lower long-term bills.
