Sometimes heating and cooling decisions can be overwhelming to homeowners, but the bottom line is efficiency and getting the most for each investment dollar. Heat pump programs are an easy way for builders to offer higher utility efficiency and ensure happy homeowners with increased savings on monthly utility expenses.
Builders can assure homeowners that heat pumps will:
Offer better heating and cooling compared with burning gas to create heat. In the summer, a heat pump collects heat from the inside and moves it outside; in the winter, it gathers heat from the outside air or ground and pumps it into your house.
Maximize your heating and cooling efficiency. Heating and cooling a 2,500-sq.-ft. home with a heat pump runs approximately $900 annually compared with $1,500 for a standard gas furnace and electric air conditioner.
Deliver between two and four dollars’ worth of heat for every dollar’s worth of electricity, saving you up to 60 percent over traditional systems during winter months.
Increase your comfort level by filling your home with cool dehumidified air in the summer. In the winter, heat pumps extract solar heat from outside air and circulate warm, humidified air through your home, eliminating short blasts of intense, dry heat associated with conventional furnaces.
Eliminate the need for open flames, pilot lights, flues, air pollutants and the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning as well as eliminate indoor airborne dust and pollen particles, making the air safer for the environment and healthier for you to breathe.
