Heating and cooling costs make up the biggest chunk of your household energy consumption. These bills can be quite hefty! But you can\u2019t simply decide not to heat or cool your home. It\u2019s necessary, not just for your comfort, but for your safety. How can you lower those monthly energy costs while staying safe and comfortable? With a heat pump! Now is the perfect time to get one. Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Mild Winters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In our climate, we need to invest more energy in cooling than heating. Our summers are hot, but our winters are relatively mild. That means that a heat pump may be able to provide all the heating you need, all year round! And heat pumps are incredibly efficient at heating in particular. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why are these systems so great for heating in our climate? Well, the reason that heating a home generally uses so much energy is that the heat has to be created, either through combustion or electrical resistance. Heat pumps don\u2019t actually create any heat. They skip this energy-intensive process and simply move heat from one place to another, no generation required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This might seem like it would only work when it is warm outside. But it is a little more complicated than simply carrying hot air in from outdoors. Heat pumps work because of heat differential. The air outside doesn\u2019t need to be warm. It just needs to be a slightly higher temperature than the super-cooled refrigerant running through the coils. That difference is enough to warm your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming Changes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Right now is a fantastic time to get a new heat pump. That\u2019s not just because it will save you money on your heating this winter, or because a heat pump is always a good idea, though these things are indeed true. No, there\u2019s a particular reason to get your heat pump now instead of waiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020, a bill was signed into law. It\u2019s called the American Industry and Manufacturing Act, and it has the goals of reducing our dependence on energy from other countries, reducing individual Americans\u2019 spending on energy, increasing manufacturing jobs, and decreasing negative impacts on the environment. Pieces of this law have been gradually taking effect, and another one is coming our way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This portion of the AIM Act has to do with refrigerant. An older type of refrigerant which is more harmful to the environment will no longer be used in the manufacturing of new air conditioners and heat pumps. A new formula will be used in new systems instead. Why does this mean you should get a heat pump now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When changes like this occur, although they do have very positive long-term impacts, there are some early stages of the process that can be challenging. It\u2019s very likely that there will be supply chain issues which reduce the availability of new heat pump units in the coming year, making it harder to schedule an installation. And manufacturing costs will increase, causing system prices to go up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
