Heat pumps do in fact save your money on energy costs. This means lower electricity bills for a comfortable home – heat pumps are very inexpensive to run, increasing your electric bill by an average of $75 monthly per heat pump that is constantly running in the home
Does a heat pump use a lot of electricity?
Heat pumps require some electricity to run, but it’s a relatively small amount. Modern heat pump systems can transfer three or four times more thermal energy in the form of heat than they consume in electrical energy to do this work – and that the homeowner pays for.
Your electric bill will naturally be higher in the coldest months of the year. This is because your older heat pump needs help keeping your home as warm as you would like it to be. It usually accomplishes this with supplemental heat (electric resistance heat, also known as the Auxiliary/Emergency Heat).
Can a heat pump heat a whole house?
Heat pumps are designed as central heating and cooling systems so by their nature so there is no reason they cannot heat and cool your entire home.
