How efficient is your current heating and cooling system? If you're still using gas, fuel oil or electric resistance as your primary heat source then upgrading to a heat pump can drastically reduce your heating bills.

• An air source heat pump is a lot like a central air system and in many cases can work with your existing furnace. Unlike a central air system a heat pump can work in reverse and pump heat from the outside air into your home. Since they do not use energy to create heat, but merely to pull it from the outside air, they cost significantly less to operate.

• Now if you are really serious about reducing your heating and cooling cost consider a geothermal heat pump. A geothermal heat pump is a complete heating and cooling unit. Based on the same principles as an air source heat pump, but requiring no outdoor condensing unit, because a geothermal heat pump pulls heat from the ground, using ether an open or closed loop water system.
