Dual fuel heating system offers cost-saving benefits
Only a couple of years ago, our boiler quit completely.
The heating system was too outdated as well as old to make a repair worthwhile, however replacing the heater was the smart choice. This presented an ideal chance to upgrade to central air conditioner. Since moving into the dwelling nearly ten years before, we’d gotten by with window air conditioning systems as well as box fans. When I asked the Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C contractor who was handling the boiler upgrade about cooling options, she requested choosing a heat pump. Since a heat pump is far more fancy to purchase than an air conditioning system, my partner as well as I were skeptical. However, once my buddy and I did some research, my buddy and I changed our minds. Pairing an electric heat pump as well as a gas boiler into a dual fuel system provides a lot of cost saving benefit. The fortune of a heat pump is that it’s far more energy efficient than a boiler. The system works by simply moving heat between the indoors as well as the outdoors. In cooling mode, it operates just like a conventional air conditioning system. In heating mode, it reverses the flow of refrigerant as well as pulls ambient heat from the outdoor air. The process avoids the safety as well as health risks of the combustion of fossil fuels. It significantly lessens impact on the environment as well as running costs. It’s also helpful that the heat pump effectively handles excess humidity in Summer as well as won’t overly dry out the air while in the winter. My associate and I chose a top-of-the-line heat pump that features adjustable-speed technology, which maintains truly even indoor temperature as well as achieves outstanding efficiency ratings. For the majority of the year, my buddy and I rely on the heat pump for comfort. When the temperature drops below freezing, the system switches to the boiler. The boiler is powerful enough to handle the especially freezing weather.
