What is the most economical method of home heating?

• Are you considering a complete heating system change? 
• How much can you afford to spend installing your new heating system? 
• How important is eco-energy in your installation?

Central geothermal thermopump

King of all ecological choices, the geothermal is one of the most prized options in Quebec. Although the initial investment is significant, the savings accumulated over time are also significant and could be up to 60% of a regular bill. The installation cost can be amortized over 10 to 15 years.
We highly recommend considering a thermopump if you plan to live in your home long-term.

Electric/gas hot air system

Powered by electricity, gas, or in dual-energy mode, a hot-air pulsating system heats air and spreads it throughout the home systematically.

Efficient and capable of integrating air processing, this heating system requires regular maintenance.

Une of its benefits is that air is less dry than compared to electrical baseboard heaters. In addition, it is good for 25 to 40 years and some models are eligible for the Hydro-Quebec reduced rate.

Heating alone accounts for over 50% of your heating consumption. Poor insulation of attics and foundation will result in heat loss of up to 40 %.

What you can do to save:

• Carefully apply caulking around the windows, doors and fireplace and all possible leaks. This inexpensive measure will help you save on heating costs!
• In winter, let the sun penetrate through the windows located on the sunny side and close the curtains or blinds on windows without direct sunlight.
• Check and correct your insulation, especially on the north side and the side where the prevailing winds blow.
