Heil 4 Ton AC/Heat Pump

Dear friends, family and my casual reader,

A small delayed renewal of our home heating and air conditioning. You are looking at a not too small investment but one, that may mean big savings. This is a 4 ton, Heil, called a "Piggyback" Heat Pump system. The furnace is gas and the compressor is electric. But the furnace has also a heat pump which will heat our home when the outside median temperature is above 32F.

The gas furnace changes over to gas only, when gas is the most efficient way to heat. Now you know why it is called a piggyback heat pump, as it encompasses the best of two worlds. But I have only now gotten one month on my electric bill and for the last 30 days, it was about $40.00 less. Lets just hope this is a trend.

If you have a similar system, let me know how yours is performing. Feel free to comment as all are welcome. Jeff the Knutt in the Ham
