Whether you heat your home with oil or gas or have electric baseboard heat, rising energy costs may have you wondering if it’s time for an upgrade. An electric heat pump offers an efficient way to heat and cool your home, especially if you already have air conditioning.
Electric Heat Pump Basics
Instead of burning fuel to generate heat, a heat pump moves heat from one place to another using electricity, allowing a single system to handle both your heating and cooling needs.
During the colder months, it draws warmth from the outside air, even on chilly days, and circulates it throughout your home. Come summer, the system runs in reverse, drawing heat out of your house to keep indoor temperatures comfortable. The result is one unit doing the work of two, with even, reliable comfort no matter the season.
How an Electric Heat Pump Saves You Money
A heat pump uses significantly less energy than electric baseboard heating, especially during the milder spring and fall months, lowering your energy bills. Better yet, with Leggett Inc.’s flexible financing options and current rebates and specials, you can make the switch at a price that fits your budget. Up-front pricing before work begins means you will always know the full cost from the start.
The Benefits at a Glance
An electric heat pump also gives your home three key advantages: it costs less to run, it uses less energy and it’s a lot easier on the environment than burning oil or gas. For a homeowner watching both comfort and cost, this combination is hard to beat.
