Dual fuel plan for the house

Although I spent a lot of money on heating and cooling for our home, the investment was absolutely worth it.

I live in an section that requires a powerful heating plan in the Winter and effective cooling while in the summer time weeks, and since I rely on some type of temperature control just about all year round, energy efficiency is a priority.

The cost of keeping a comfortable house makes up about half of our energy bills. In order to minimize running costs, I combined an electric heat pump and gas oil furnace in a dual fuel system. This wasn’t cheap. I know it was worth it. The heat pump performs the job of an A/C while in the summer. It keeps the house nice and cool but is more energy efficient than a convention central cooling system. Plus, the heat pump is better at combating humidity, but when the weather cools off, the heat pump switches to heating mode. It literally reverses operation to find ambient warmth in the outdoor air and transfer it inside. This process is especially efficient and also entirely clean, safe and environmentally friendly. There is no combustion process, which eliminates the problem over carbon monoxide and other redhouse gas emissions. The drawback of a heat pump is that it can’t handle demand once the outside temperature falls below chilly, however at that point, there’s no longer sufficient ambient heat available, and the oil furnace automatically takes over. The heat pump and oil furnace chop the workload, taking advantage of the most effective plan at any given time. I save money on heating and cooling costs and can expect both units to last longer.
