Before my hubby as well as I built a household in Springfield, Missouri, my friend and I spent a lot of time researching as well as planning… My friend and I wanted to make smart decisions that would reduce service as well as expense.
My friend and I hoped to create an aesthetically pleasing, comfortable as well as energy efficient residing space; The weather extremes in Springfield make both heating as well as cooling priorities.
The expense of temperature control accounts for approximately fifty percent of apartment utility bills. My hubby as well as I looked into a variety of heating as well as cooling options, then for a household in Springfield, my friend and I needed a system that could handle hot as well as cold temperatures that fluctuate from the low teens to the low nineties; After a lot of debate, my friend and I decided a higher investment into a more energy efficient solution would pay for itself in the long run. My friend and I chose the combination of a natural gas boiler as well as an electric heat pump. This partnership of systems is often referred to a duel fuel system or a hybrid furnace. Although the heat pump was more extravagant to purchase than a conventional cooling system unit, it provides both heating as well as cooling capacity. The system works by transferring heat between the indoors as well as outdoors, however during the summer, it operates the same as an cooling system unit, extracting heat as well as creating a cooling effect. The true beauty of a heat pump is the ability to reverse the flow of refrigerant… In heating mode, pulls ambient heat out of the outdoor air as well as supplies it indoors. This process is attractively environmentally friendly as well as energy efficient, then with no combustion, there is no orangehousehold gasses produced. My friend and I rely on the heat pump until the outdoor temperature drops below chilly. The boiler automatically starts up as well as provides effective heating during the worst of the winter weather.
