[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most everyone in this area has a heat pump with an electric or gas auxiliary system that kicks in to help when the heat pump isn't able to handle the cold. Our auxiliary system only kicks in a handful of times every year.[/quote] You should not need an auxiliary system in this region - we've barely had a deep frost the last 4 years. Heat pumps actually work just fine even in very cold areas [b]they just use a lot of energy[/b] when the temp drops below 25 degrees which fortunately is very rare in this area. Folks would be much better off spending their money on better windows and insulation than an auxiliary system.[/quote] don't want to pay this extra expense when I can just use gas and have a cheaper bill[/quote] Don't worry - climate change will lighten your wallet anyway.[/quote]
