Heating & Cooling Your Home: A Simple Guide
Confused about the best way to heat and cool your home? Here's a breakdown of the most efficient options:
1. Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP)
- Like a 2-in-1! Cools your home in the summer and heats it in the winter, using way less energy than traditional systems.
- Efficiency matters: Look for high HSPF/HSPF2 for heating and high SEER/SEER2 for cooling.
- You're in control: Easily switch between heating and cooling modes with your thermostat.
2. Central Air Conditioner (CAC)
- Time for an upgrade? If your AC is over 12 years old, a new one can save you big on cooling costs.
3. Ductless/Mini-Split ASHP
- Super efficient: Uses 60% less energy for heating than electric baseboards.
- Saves on cooling: Cuts cooling costs by 30% compared to window units.
4. Electronically Commutated Motor (ECM) for Your Furnace
- Smart technology: These motors adjust their speed to save energy and money.
- Upgrade and save: Replacing your old furnace motor with an ECM can significantly lower your yearly heating bill.
5. Ground Source Heat Pump
- The eco-champion! The most efficient heating and cooling system available.
- Long-term savings: You'll recoup your investment in just a few years thanks to major energy savings.
Choosing higher efficiency heating and cooling equipment can have a big impact on your comfort while helping you save money.
Qualified Installers (QI) Program:
ONLY FOR AIR CONDITIONERS AND AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMPS
Don't gamble with safety or quality. A qualified installer ensures your electrical work is done right. This program seeks to validate four components of the installation including, airflow, duct sealing, proper sizing and refrigerant charge.
New CAC's and ASHP's with a overall efficiency of 14.5 SEER or higher may be eligible.
ASHP and CAC installations require a completed QI form from a qualified installer.
