Who really believes that this climate is too tough for a heat pump… Well pretty much everyone I guess. The fact is that the vast majority of dwellings in our region use something other than a heat pump in the frosty weather. That would be either a gas furnace or a boiler. There are dwellings with heat pumps but most of those come with a supplemental heat source such as a wood stove… But not my dwelling. It’s honestly the dead of winter plus I’m enjoying the cozy radiant floor heating supplied by my geothermal heat pump. It’s all I need for all of my quality heating plus air needs. Winter or summer, the geo heat pump has it covered, and on top of that, this sort of heat pump isn’t like a traditional heat pump in a certain key respect. A vast majority of heat pumps have to extract heating energy from ambient air. When the temperatures stay below freezing, those heat pumps are neither efficient nor all that warm overall. That’s where the geothermal heat pump is entirely different. The geo heat pump extracts heating energy from the steady temperature of underground. And then, it transfers that heating energy to copper tubing under the floor plus that’s the radiant floor heating. Honestly, I’ve done a gas furnace plus had radiant heating from a boiler way back in school. The geothermal heat pump plus radiant floor heating are the most excellent in my opinion. The other absolutely phenomenal thing about the geothermal heat pump is the fact that it’s so severely efficient that my heating bills are a little fraction of those using a gas furnace for heating their dwelling.
