Heat Pump
A heat pump is right up there with central air in terms of the impact on your utility bill. A heat pump uses about 15,000 watts of power, translating to a cost of $1.50 an hour.
Heat pumps can be more cost-effective than baseboard heating, but it’s important to make sure you’re using the right pump for your home and your climate. Being able to shut off heat or cooling to rooms that aren’t being used will also help keep your energy costs down.
