A new report from the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy advises an incredible solution to Texas' energy needs.
Electric heat pumps have been put forward as the best option for home heating and cooling needs, rather than traditional HVAC systems.
Texas is the second-most-populous state in America, with nearly 31 million residents, and they need air conditioning in the summer and heat in the winter. But that requires a lot of energy.
In 2021, a major winter storm named Uri hit the area, and demand for power soared. Energy grids failed, resulting in blackouts, frozen pipes, and presenting dangerous conditions for people all over the state.
As the U.S. Department of Energy explains, heat pumps operate by transferring heat rather than generating it. This requires less energy than traditional HVAC units, but it is still effective at heating and cooling.
And less energy use means less pollution. In fact, another study done by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory found that heat pumps significantly reduce pollution.
It can be complicated to find the right HVAC fit for your home, let alone the right contractor. But companies like Mitsubishi help connect homeowners with trained professionals in their trusted network.
And since HVAC systems are responsible for an enormous percentage of our monthly energy bills, the switch will ultimately save you money. The American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy report says electric heat pumps would save customers an average of $300 per year.
