Rising energy costs and energy shortages have contributed to the rising use of heat pumps. A heat pump can supply from 1.5 to 2.5 times more heat than the energy it uses, depending on efficiency of the heat pump and geographic location.

To put this into numbers:

»If electric rates in the Pacific Northwest were about 6.3 cents per kWh

»If both the heat pump and the electric furnace were 51,150 BTU's, which equals 15 kWh.

»Then the energy usage for each system would look like this.

Ø Because the Heat pump can be up to 60% more efficient, your heat bill could be reduced up to 60%. Add on a digital programmable thermostat and you will optimize your savings.

* THIS IS WHAT YOU SAVE WHEN YOU ARE 60% MORE EFFICIENT.
