Supercharge your Heat Pump Savings
<p>The technology is fairly new and doesn’t behave the same as traditional home heating methods. I like to use the <a href="https://thetakeout.com/microwave-hamburger-soup-and-the-dawn-of-a-brave-new-er-1846045752" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">dawn of the microwave</a> as an analogy: microwaves reheat food faster and easier than traditional methods but are terrible at making toast.</p>
<p>Just as early adopters had to learn the best applications for a microwave, we need to revisit the traditional heating maxims to optimize HP performance.</p>
<p>One common statement is that <a href="https://www.energyhub.com/blog/how-much-is-one-degree-worth/#:~:text=For%20example%2C%20the%20DOE's%20Energy,thermostat%20down%20during%20the%20winter." rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">reducing indoor temperature by 1°F (0.6°C) reduces a home heating bill by 1%</a>. <strong>This isn’t much.</strong> Most people would probably prefer a warmer temperature on a given day over a few extra pennies.</p>
