Living in colder weather conditions means our possibilities for heating are quite limited.
You entirely need something with a backbone to combat the dire cold. Boilers, boilers, as well as fireplaces are the norm where I live. What I don’t like is all the fuel burning. I don’t like how inefficient they are. If they get dirty, you have a fire hazard on your hands. I did some research as well as realized that I desperately wanted a heat pump system. This is both heating as well as cooling in a single unit. It works like a normal a/c in the summer time as well as in the winter time moves existing heat energy from outside to inside your home. A proper heat pump can only do this if the weather doesn’t drop below 40 degrees. My area does of course. There are high efficiency heat pumps that can handle any kind of weather as well as still produce, though my area does not have that though. What my buddy and I have instead is dual fuel systems or hybrid heating. This is where you take a heat pump as well as pair it with a gas boiler. Most of the year the heat pump is working to give you temperature control. You get the dire energy savings, quiet operation, as well as clean air quality, and once the temperatures drop below 40 degrees, the heat pump automatically switches from electric to gas. The boiler tags in as well as ensures you never go without the official amount of heat. So most of the time I save quite a bit of money, for my area as well as the dire freezing that is the best I can ask for.
