0 I read your answer thru heat
pumps can cut heating bills about in
hall W e bought a heat pump a cou­
ple o f years ago W e saved gas all
right, but the electricity to run the
heat pump cost as much or even a
little more than we saved on gas So
all we did was pay the electricity
company instead o f the gas com ­
pany I think it is misleading to say
that you can save with a heat pump
O r is something wrong with our
unit ’
OK
Madras
A G ood point W e don't want to
mislead people into thinking ihey can
save money when they can't Heat
pum ps d e fin ite ly are not fo r
everyone Our answer was to a
reader who has an electric tumacc
A properly installed heal pump
should use about half as much elec
tficity as an electric furnace
Com paring with gas is another
matter A heat pump c«*sts more to
buy than a standard gas furnace T o
justify the additional cost, the heat
pump must cost less to operate ( I f
you need air conditioning, which
heat pumps pros ide. the sy stem costs
are comparable »
A big factor in comparing heal
sources is the relative cost o f fuels
The price o f gas is fairly uniform
throughout Oregon, currently about
65 cents per therm The price o f
electricity varies from less than two
cents per kilowatt hour to almost six
cents
Based on energy prices in your
jrca , the cost o f operating a proper
ly installed heal pump should be
almost 20 percent less than a stan­
dard (70 percent efficien cy) gas
furnace
Bui before you decide that your
licat pump may not he operating pro­
perly, there are a few things to
check
First, have other things
changed'’
-Sometimes energy hills increase
even though you arc saving energy
hecauve the rates have gone up
-Your clevtnc bills may
crease
with a heal pump because you are
using the air conditioning that ihe gas
furnace didn't provide
Your healing hills also will in­
crease if you keep the house warmer
with the heat pump (This may not
he intentional The old thermostat
may have been out o f calibration.)
If mxhing else changed much
when you had the heat pump install
ed. then M may he working less e f f i ­
ciently than it could A common
cause o f p>«»r performance is that the
more expensive electric resistance
backup heat that was installed with
the heat pump is on more than it
should he One reason might he the
thermostat Check with the contrac­
tor who installed (he heal pump to
see if there is an outside thermostat
This locks the electrical resistance
backup o f f until the ou tside
temperature falls below the point
where the heat pump can no longer
heat your home by itself
Another possibility is that (he heat
pump may have been st/ed to fit
your existing ductwork Because
heat pumps require larger ducts than
combustion furnaces, a heat pump
sized to existing ductwork may be
undersized for your home The
backup heat (about twice as expen­
sive) is therefore on more often
f ind a healing contractor with heat
pump experience to l»x»k at your
system It's also a gixxi idea to check

other evidence had been obtained

struck him and began threatening
him
