Recent data suggests heating and cooling accounts for as much as half of a home’s energy usage throughout the year.
Heat pumps don't burn fossil fuels to operate and allow homeowners to be more eco-friendly when heating their houses.We’ve all heard the warnings: Winter is here and sky-high heating costs are expected to send energy bills through the roof. That’s because much of the country and state are dependent on fossil fuels for heating.
To answer that question, we’ve spoken with an expert on the topic and looked at some of the different information on tax credits.Across much of Indiana, air conditioners and furnaces are a common combination for heating and cooling the home. Heat pumps, on the other hand, aren’t as common and aren’t as well understood.
Indiana has a mixed climate — it can have very hot and humid summers, cold and blustery winters, and then a lot of the in-between mid seasons. When heat pumps were first created, Ziviani said, they couldn’t handle as wide of a range of temperatures. Lots of technological improvements, however, have helped make them much more efficient and able to work in a variety of temperatures.
Overall, Ziviani said heat pumps make sense for Indiana — it’s proven, he added. The university has a research house that they’ve retrofitted with insulation, new winder frames as well as a heat pump. “So if you are using one kilowatt-hour and getting three or four times as much heat, then you are not needing as much energy,” Ziviani said. “So it will always yield some emissions and energy savings.”
