Geothermal heat pumps (GHPs) are expensive and difficult to install. However, the EPA estimates that a geothermal heat pump can cut your heating energy costs by anywhere from 30 to 70 percent.

As temperatures underground are nearly constant all year-round, a ground-source heat pump can be a much more efficient heating system than an air-source heat pump, and is appropriate for both warm and cold climates, as in-ground temperatures remain fairly constant.

A buildup of just 0.042 inches of dirt on a heating or cooling coil will lead to a 21 percent drop in efficiency. By keeping your HVAC system clean, you will save on gas, repair, power, and premature replacement costs.

The most common heaters used in homes are gas and oil furnaces. Both heat air as it's passed over a heat exchange unit. Essentially, air is drawn into the unit, heated, and then force back into the home through ducts.

Spill switches on heating systems are protective devices designed to prevent combustion gases from escaping into a building. When they sense the heat of combustion gases that should be traveling up the flue, they shut the heating system down.

Ever heard the 50-50 rule? According to the U.S. Department of Energy, about 50 percent of every home energy dollar you spend goes to heating and cooling your interior spaces.
