Electric heating can be defined as an electrical appliance that converts electrical energy into heat. The one thing that drives me crazy is that I see some electric heaters advertised as 20% more efficient than another electric heater. The bottom line in all of this is that the amount of BTU’s that can be produced from a kilowatt of electric is defined by the laws of physics.
Take any kilowatt of electric and convert it to heat and you get 3415 Btu per Kw. This fact cannot be altered or changed. So for anyone to make claims of their electric heater being more efficient than the next guy’s is totally false.
Nothing has changed since then, except that fuel prices have continued to increase. Heat pumps are still a exceptionally viable and practical heating source. Energy conservation is still important, maybe even more important, I think Heat pumps are here to stay. Here are some of the advantages as I see them.
Since central heating and cooling systems do not rely on openings like windows and fireplace flues, these openings can be made more air tight when they are closed. This does not mean that there has to be a lack of fresh air in the house. Central systems can include a piece of equipment known as an air-to-air heat exchanger, which brings a flow of fresh, outdoor air into the home without losing energy.
Along with the ability to control various zones independently, you are also able to program different zoned to come on at different times. This way while you are sleeping you can turn the heat down in parts of the home that you are not in for the night, and have them turn back on shortly before you rise. You could also do the same type of thing during the day if you are going to be gone fore the day. You would be surprised how much just this feature can impact you heating and cooling costs every month.
One of the things a central heating and cooling system is really good at is improving indoor air quality. A central humidifier can keep the air in your home from getting to dry in the winter, and a central air conditioner or dehumidifier can keep the humidity under control during Atlanta’s sultry summer. By filtering the air that goes through a central air handler, dust, pollen, and other allergens can be removed from the air of the entire house at once. Another advantage is uniform comfort. A properly designed and installed central heating and cooling system can prevent the appearance of hot and cold spots in your house as temperatures rise and fall outside
