With winter weather in full force across the US, many of us are wondering if we can really heat our homes in frigid temperatures without burning fossil fuels.
I agree very interesting. I'd like to know how much Energy (kWh as opposed to $$) you saved relative to the old furnace; that's really what makes the difference in terms of decarbonization. Thanks!
good article but the picture with the heat delivery for the carrier unit has BTUs delivered of 12,000 btu/hr at 47 deg and 13,000 btus/hr 5 deg. Are you just showing the colored boxes where the information is located. I expect higher btus/hr at 47 deg than at 5 degs. you need a better example as 12,000 btus/hr is not great. You also do not talk about COP that gives you an indication of efficiency.
Thanks Tom, great points. I was just using it as an example of where those things were located and yes it was surprising that it had more BTUs at lower temps. I heat you on the 12k BTUs. Thanks for reading!

Our new Mitsubishi heat pump struggled at 15 degrees (0 degrees wind chill factor). It was set to 70 degrees F but could only maintain 68 degrees F.
Great article, and appreciate the level of detail. Was the $12,000 cost after the tax break?
