Energy Management in the Home
Heat pumps are very efficient heating and cooling systems and can significantly reduce your energy costs. However, there is little point in investing in an efficient heating system if your home is losing heat through poorly insulated walls, ceilings, windows, and doors, and by air leakage through cracks and holes.
In many cases, it makes good sense to reduce air leakage and upgrade thermal insulation levels before buying or upgrading your heating system. A number of publications explaining how to do this are available from Natural Resources Canada.
Summer Cooling May Add to Energy Bills
Heat pumps supply heat to the house in winter and cool the house in the summer. However, they require electricity to operate. If you add a heat pump to your heating system or convert from another fuel to a heat pump, and your old system was not equipped with central air conditioning, you will find that your electricity bills will be higher than before.
