- What makes a heat pump fit for our cold climate? It heats efficiently down to 5oF and even lower in many cases.
- What is a secondary heating system? It supports the heat pump on the few weeks a year when it gets very cold. Often, you can simply keep your existing heating system in working order.
- Did you know?
- Heat pumps move heat and that takes far less energy than conventional heating systems which create heat.
- You can even extract heat from really cold air!
If your home is currently heated with electricity, with a cold climate air source heat pump, you could see 55% bill savings. For propane, 30% bill savings or more.
If your home is currently heated with natural gas, efficient natural gas furnaces have been an affordable way to heat Minnesota homes. A cold-climate air source heat pump or one of the many other heat pump options can provide efficient cooling and economically offset your furnace operation in the spring and fall for heating. A household might consider an air source heat pump in a home heated by natural gas for reasons beyond cost savings — becoming a net-zero energy, solar-ready, or all-electric home.
