Can you Heat your home in December for $6.15 a day?


You can with an air to water heat pump like the Daikin AC Altherma, at an installation here in New England the Altherma used an average of 45KW per day which at current electric rates works out to $6.15 per day.  And the side benefit is that you will reduce your CO2 emissions by more than 50% over a standard fossil fuel boiler. In the winter an air to water heat pump works by taking thermal energy from the outside and transferring to the inside of the home via radiators, fan coil units or radiant floor heating.  Because the Altherma employs an inverter driven condenser unit it can extract heat from the outside even at subzero temperatures.  And with a Coefficent of Performance as high as 4.54 which means for every 1 KW of energy used 4.54 KW of heating energy is produced or for every $1.00 you spend you get an additional $3.54 free.  And the above $6.15 per day includes the lights and other electric items in your home.
