When the two of us moved in, our apartment was already equipped with a fairly new forced air oil furnace! Unfortunately the apartment lacked central air conditioner.
While the weather in our local area tends to be cold and snowy for the majority of the year, our brief Summer season can bring high hot and cold temperatures and horrendous humidity, however my spouse and I both agreed that the two of us wanted a cooling plan installed.
I contacted a local Heating, Ventilation and A/C company for an estimate, and after inspecting the home, he suggested that the two of us invest in an electric heat pump. Since a heat pump is way more extravagant to purchase and install than an air conditioning, I was reluctant. I did some research and l gained that combining an electric heat pump with a natural gas oil furnace is called a dual fuel system, and it provides all sorts of advantages. A dual fuel plan pays for itself in energy savings. This is because the heat pump is more efficient than a conventional air conditioning or oil furnace. It combines heating and cooling capacity and works by simply moving existing heat between the inside and outside of the house. In the summer, it operates similarly to an air conditioning, pulling heat from the indoor air and pumping it outdoors by way of refrigerant. The fortune is that the heat pump is effective at dehumidifying and costs less to run. For heating purposes, the heat pump avoids burning fossil fuels and utilizes ambient heat in the outside air. The operation is clean, safe, quiet and legitimately environmentally friendly. The disadvantage of a heat pump is that it struggles to keep up with demand when the temperature drops below cold. At that point, the oil furnace starts up and handles the heating needs for as long as necessary.
