At that point, the heating system automatically takes over and runs for as long as needed
Living in Ashtabula, Ohio, my pal and I experience four distinct seasons. The summers tend to be boiling and humid with temperatures in the high eighties or even low nineties. The winter brings snow and below-chilly conditions. The fall and Springtime are unpredictable. My pal and I often get hit with high winds and rainstorms, but for the majority of the year, my pal and I require some type of indoor temperature control. My pal and I switch from heating to cooling with absolutely little split in-between. The cost of heating and cooling accounts for approximately fifty percent of our house energy usage. To minimize expense and carbon footprint, an energy efficient heating and cooling method is a priority. When my husband and I built our current home, the current cooling and heating system replacement was a sizable consideration. My pal and I wanted to choose a system that would meet the demands of the weather, deliver healthy indoor air quality and keep us perfectly comfortable. Although a larger investment, my pal and I decided on a hybrid heating system. This type of operation combines a gas heating system with an electric heat pump. A heat pump works by moving existing heat between the indoors and the outdoors. During the Summer months, it acts just like an air conditioner. When the weather cools down, the heat pump literally reverses the flow of refrigerant. It takes advantage of ambient heat available in the outdoor air and transfers it indoors. This process is especially environmentally friendly, safe and clean. It also costs much less to run than the heating system. When the outdoor temperature dips below chilly, the heat pump begins to struggle. At that point, the heating system automatically takes over and runs for as long as needed. The hybrid combination was the perfect option for a current heating system replacement in Ashtabula.
