Why Are Energy Costs Lower With Heat Pumps?
Heat pumps do not burn oil or gas directly to provide heat—they work by extracting heat from the outside air by running it through the condenser. The absorbed thermal energy is then moved inside to the evaporator, releasing the heat evenly into your home as warm air in the winter. Whereas, in the summer, the process is reversed and acts like an air conditioner to evenly cool your home.
More simply put, this energy-efficient way of heating and cooling your home only uses electricity to operate, so there are no costs associated with expensive furnace oil prices.
Heat Pump Rebates Save More Money
In addition to the costs saved from not having a huge furnace oil bill, those who have been making the switch to a heat pump have been cashing in on government and manufacturer rebates.
Many organizations offer heat pump rebates to encourage homeowners to use energy-efficient systems and appliances. In fact, Atlantic Canadians have been leading the charge in redemption of the Greener Homes Grant to save money on the equipment costs of their new or upgraded heat pump.
