Hybrid system that switches between electric heat pumps and natural gas furnace among scenarios authors consider
Heat pumps are not only good for the environment but good for a household's bottom line, even if that home is located in colder climes of Prince George, according to a recently-released study conducted on behalf of Natural Resources Canada.
What's more, the numbers are based on prices that reigned in 2020 and the authors predict the price of natural gas will only continue to rise - and the appeal of heat pumps with it. Heat pumps, which rely on the same vapour compression technology found in refrigerators and air conditioners to move heat from outdoors to indoors, can achieve much higher levels of efficiency than conventional furnaces, boilers and electric baseboards.
That said, the authors laid out a scenario for homeowners who remain unsure and would be interested in creating a hybrid system by governed by a "smart controller" that would switch between a heat pump and a gas furnace depending on which is cheaper. For Prince George, the savings would work out to $9 per year based on 2020 prices.
