It was that time of the year again when the number of calls coming into the local service provider office tripled in number. The office was like an emergency line contact with phones ringing every minute. It was also a time when homeowners remembered to schedule a furnace/heater tune-up or their system broke down because of failing to have it serviced. It was summer again and every heating technician in the whole-home heating business was moving from home to home for either a furnace heater repair or whichever service people’s electric heating system required. Most homeowners when it was time to install a new HVAC system opted for an electric heat pump. This is because with such a system it was possible to install a zone control system which was at the top of the list when it came to energy-saving tips. This type of installation made it possible to have individual temperature control for each room. This means that you could turn the HVAC on or off using the corresponding digital thermostat. The number of zones for each home varies and you require a heating contractor to assess and decide on the matter. The number of radiant floor heating we had installed that was being used as a central heater in the last couple of years had increased. The aim is to reduce the number of HVAC systems that are emitting more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The electric one emitted far less than the ones that used gas and oil as fuel. This is in a bid to combat climate change and all the dangers posed such as pollution.
