You're never sure what you're going to get when you make an upgrade to your house. One homeowner was thrilled with their heat pump after getting through their first summer, and they shared their experience in the r/heatpumps subreddit.
"Loving my heat pump," they wrote alongside a photo of the frigid outdoor conditions, along with a full explanation of their experience since installing the heat pump in spring.
"The utility bill so far has been really good, to around $150 for the whole house's electricity over the summer months," the OP revealed.
During the Canadian winter, they explained they had kept their home at a comfortable 67 degrees. They had aux strips as a backup, but wrote that they didn't think they would need them.
The OP said, "Will see how things unfold."
Hearing this testimonial may not be enough for you to make the plunge, but TCD's HVAC Explorer page can help you understand your heat pump options.
The first thing you should know about heat pumps is that they work differently from traditional HVAC systems. In the hotter months, they pull heat from inside your home and transfer it outside. In the colder months, they pull heat from outside, either from the ground, air, or water, and move it inside your home.
This method of heating and cooling your home is more efficient than your traditional HVAC system, which means heat pumps can save you money. Additionally, because of how it works, it's also better for the environment, reducing the reliance on fossil fuels.
