Well, it's getting colder outside,
which means we're all thinking about
how well our house heating system works.
You know it's either too cold or too hot,
or the upstairs is cooking while you're
freezing your toes off downstairs.
One way to stay the perfect temp
and save money is with a heat pump,
which is what I just learned from
Brandon audit from energy technologies.
First of all, it is freezing
in this studio right now,
so I'm wondering if you could come
install heat pump now and also,
can you explain me what is a heat pump?
Yes, we could definitely don't
all leave right after we tape.
Give you an estimate will get you
a ductless heat pump right away.
You'll be warned like it's Bermuda,
so heat pump you can think of
it as two different options.
You have a ducted heat pump which would
go onto an existing furnace ducting,
and then you have a heat pump
that is it duck list.
So whatever your situation is at your home,
we can solve it and what a heat pump is.
It is electric,
but it's transferring energy.
See there transferring energy
in the winter time from outside
to inside or in the summertime.
It's transferring energy from
inside your home to the outside.
Fascinating,
I did not know that other than
staying warm, why install a heat pump?
So the heat pump is.
You can think of it as the
Tesla of heating and cooling.
Oftentimes a question I get when
people are looking into heat pumps is,
well, hey, I kind of want AC as well.
That is a heat pump heat pump.
Is it heating and cooling? It is electric.
The heat pump is four times more energy
efficient than traditional electric and oil,
and it's two times as efficient as gas.
So you're going to get.
I look at a heat pump as a dial,
not a light switch.
A lot of times people have furnaces.
They throw it on your boiling upstairs.
You know the wife is downstairs or the
husbands downstairs and they're freezing.
Still the the heat pump is
the most consistent smooth
heating and cooling you can get
now. Does it matter what type you get
traditionally if you have ducting in
the house so you have a traditional
oil furnace or an old electric for us,
or a gas furnace. We would use that
existing ducting and we would go with
the Mitsubishi HYPER Heat heat pump.
If you don't have that,
say you have an older house and
you have baseboard heating,
you're using one of those plug-in a
season this summer and you're paying.
You know you have to sell your Tesla
stock just to pay the electric bill.
That's where we can come in with a ductless
heat pump and we can solve that problem.
You did mention the difference
between Douglas and Duck,
but can you kind of help understand
what goes into the installation?
What's involved? Where does it go?
Yeah, sure. So whether you go and
I wanted to touch on this point.
Whether a homeowner goes with a
ductless or a ducted heat pump,
a huge incentive with this is that
a few universities and Zillow just
published a study in 2021 that the
average home gets a 7% increase in
property value when they added the pump.
So you're looking at average.
Homes in Seattle are going to
get between 10 and $20,000 value
just by adding a heat pump,
so it obviously pays for itself.
So if the customer chooses that,
this is the best option.
What we would do is we would have
one of our sales people come,
sometimes it's usually it's me
come personally, then we assess.
We look at is this the right fit for you?
Sometimes we can do ductless,
other times ducted. Sometimes we do both.
Uhm? Will assess the situation.
Omni listen what's your heating and
cooling needs? What are you trying to solve?
Is the downstairs too cold?
Is the upstairs too hot?
Like you said?
Are you going to bed freezing and
waking up like you just slept?
CrossFit so we will go and get the
photos we work together as a team.
When we start the installation project,
we treat it like it's our home,
so we're using dropcloths.
Our installers are using booties
on their feet were not dragging.
You know material through your home,
things like that and that's what
I do when I come out and do the
assessment as I owns kind of graph
out how we install goal where we go,
how are we going to get out so we
don't leave anything to chance.
We treat like it's our I always
say I do an assessment as if
I'm giving it to my mom.
There's no better recommendation than that.
Just like moms and I'm making an appointment
to talk with energy technologies.
Just go on a website on your screen.
They also help you tap into the wide
variety of cash incentives that in.
Rebates that are actually available
from your own utility companies
and your local government.
Well coming up next,
some super helpful tips to cut
back on waste this holiday season.
Including wrapping paper.
Is it really recyclable?
Answer that question and we'll
be checking back in with our
Gingerbread house builders to see
the masterpieces they've created.
I'll be right back.
