Q. How can a heat pump work with a heating and cooling system to be more efficient?

A. In mild weather the HP can provide all the necessary heat down to about 30-35 degrees, below that it would need some kind of backup heat source to provide the additional heat necessary to meet the load of the home down to 0 degrees.

Q. Will smart devices such as Nest help me save on my energy bill?

A. Programmable thermostats can save you money if you use them properly. Typically with a gas furnace if you program in a setback of 5 degrees when you are at work and while you are sleeping you will use less energy in the month. With a Heat Pump you would need a special thermostat that would not bring on the electric backup heat when coming out of setback or you would use what you just saved to get the house back to temperature. In summer, avoid increasing the temperature for work and sleep times during extreme weather because the AC will take a long time to get back to your ideal comfort conditions.
