Heating, Air Conditioning, Fridge, HVAC - heat pump


Expert: J Cook - 3/22/2009

Question
I have to change out a air to water heat pump.I want to go to a boiler either electric or lp gas.I have 6000sq ft of radiant floor heat with 3 zones.But I don't know witch way would be better.

Answer
LP gas has not increased as significantly as other fuels, but electric still appears to be the most cost efficient in my opinion. At an energy conference I attended, the experts stated that for the first time in history, electric strip heat was more economical that fuel heat. Thanks J
