Heat pumps are effective machines for heating and cooling in the southern region.

They are typically energy-efficient and offer comfort throughout all four seasons of the year.

An air source heat pump transfers heat inside and outside of your home. Unfortunately, heat pumps do not efficiently operate when the temperatures are extremely cold. They begin to lose efficiency and some will no longer run after the indoor temperature reaches the freezing point. Heat pumps are not an effective machine for winter seasons in areas where the temperatures are often below freezing. Electric, oil, gas, or wood heating options are preferred in climates like these. When my family and I lived down south, we had an air source heat pump. It works very well and our bills were lower than the national average each month. When we decided to move up north and we bought a house near the lake, an air source heat pump was not an option for heating our home. Instead, we decided to choose a propane furnace. We have propane delivered from a company in town. They usually fill the tanks at the beginning of the month, but we can call more frequently if we run out sooner. The propane furnace is very efficient and works well in the Sub-Zero temperatures, but it really dries out my sinuses and nasal cavities. I definitely liked the humid winter air down south much better, but the family is enjoying the winter perks that we can’t get down south like skiing, bobsledding and snowboarding. We have certainly found some really fun interests since we moved here.
