Energy-efficient heating

Have you noticed sudden spikes in your fuel charges?

Is your out-of-date heating system not getting you the results you want?

Are you worried about energy conservation and reducing your footprint?

We invite you to learn more about energy conservation and air-source and ground-source heat pumps. Energy conservation is a one-time cost that saves you money in the long term no matter what type of heating system you have.   Heat pumps can heat and cool your entire house or just parts of your house. Heat pumps use electricity to move heat from where you don’t want it or need it to where you do want it or need it.

Many installers offer financing options for both Geothermal and Air Source heat pumps & there are currently rebate programs and tax credits available. Installing multi-zone systems can be very economical. A new system can pay for itself within 7-10 years. Installation can be quick, but it also may take some time before installation once you get on an install waiting list. Several local companies will come to your home and give you a commitment-free estimate.

  • Ground source geothermal systems are usually used for an entire home or dwelling and provide heat and air-conditioning options. Geothermal uses the ground heat (a constant 40 to 50 degrees, 6 feet underground) and a heat pump to heat and cool. This option is most economical if you are building a new home or replacing your furnace/ forced hot air system and currently heating with oil.

  • Air Source heat pumps look like ground mounted air conditioners, but modern cold climate heat pumps provide both heating and cooling.  New technologies allow air source heat pumps to heat down to minus five degrees Fahrenheit and below.

  • Ductless mini-split (air source) heat pumps are an excellent option for folks who want to create a new single zone or heat/cool their entire home. Multiple interior units may be required for a complete household system if you plan to rely on mini-splits.

  • Whole house air source heat pumps are also available to replace traditional combustion based systems.  There is no furnace per se, and the internal air handler and exterior condenser are electrically powered.
