Day 1: Believing Heat And Temperature To Be The Same Thing (which leads to trusting the salesman who pushes you into what he wants you to buy while you have no idea what he’s talking about)Day 2: Considering Heat Pumps As a Heat Source (leads to buying a $12,000 system that can’t heat your home properly, forcing you to spend even more money on a backup heating system while your family complains about cold rooms)Day 3: Overlooking the Achilles’ Heel of Heat Pumps (leads to maintaining a complex system with more parts to break or even being forced to install expensive radiator upgrades to make the system meet your expectations)Day 4: Thinking that Fuel and Electrical Costs Are About the Same (leads to evaporation of the expected savings that drove you to complete a big project with no “undo” button)Day 5: Buying into the Hype (leads to being saddled with capital costs that won’t pay back until after you’ve moved out of the house while energy savings and environmental impact didn’t matter as much as you thought)

Fun Fact: Heat Pumps experienced their first surge in commercial interest in the 1970's as a result of of the Oil Crisis. Interest faded as oil became less expensive again as these early units were not as efficient or capable as those on the market today.

Fun Fact: Ground source heat pumps are much more effective, but more expensive. Instead of moving heat between the outside air and your house, it accesses the heat in the earth. Access to this heat can be in horizontal trenches dug 5 - 10 feet deep or in vertical bore holes that are 150 feet deep or deeper. It is due to the cost of installing these trenches or holes that makes ground-source heat pumps more expensive than air source heat pumps.

More to think about: From a carbon standpoint, installing a modern heat pump has been shown to reduce emissions no matter where you live. However, the refrigerant used in heat pumps has historically had a high global warming potential. This has lessened the net climate impact of heat pumps. Modern heat pumps and air-conditioners use refrigerants that are more climate friendly, and the industry is researching and adopting alternatives that are even more so.
