Why Choose a Heat Pump?

There are many reasons why our members and customers choose heat pumps:

• Lower heating fuel use: Cut your natural gas, oil or propane use by up to 70% and reduce your carbon footprint. With today's uncertain oil prices, your savings by installing a heat pump can be greater than ever.
• Protection from future price spikes: Electricity prices are much more stable than oil and propane prices.
• Lower heating costs: If you use propane, kerosene or fuel oil to heat your home, your overall costs will go down after installing a heat pump. While your electricity costs will go up, your heating fuel costs will go down more than the increase in your electricity bill.
• Low-cost air conditioning: Heat pumps are twice as efficient as typical air conditioners, and much quieter than window units.
• Comfort: Thanks to smart controls, heat pumps keep indoor temperatures within a comfortable range summer and winter.
• Better indoor air quality: Heat pumps filter the air inside your home year-round.

The experts at the Energy Co-op can help you determine if a heat pump is a good investment for your home.

We offer 2 types of heat pumps - Ducted and Ductless. To determine which type of system might be best for you, here are some key features:

Ducted heat pumps may be a good choice if:

• Your home already has a hot air furnace with ductwork.
• You want heating and cooling throughout the whole house.
• You don't like how ductless heat pump indoor units look on the wall.
• You're building a new home and have the option of installing ductwork right from the start.

Ductless heat pump systems may be better if:

• You want to heat and cool only certain rooms in your home.
• You want to replace a space heater or wood stove. 
• Your home doesn't have ductwork.
• You have a boiler as your central heating system.
• You currently have electric resistant heat (such as baseboards or space heaters) and want more efficiency.
• You need extra heating and cooling in just certain areas of your home or are adding a new addition.
