Overview of Heating Fuel Efficiency
00:00:00
Baker Plbg
Okay, people, I'm literally looking at at the Manitoba Hydro report on heat pumps. ah And in its own information, natural gas is by far the most efficient and the cheapest form of fuel in order to heat your home.
00:00:18
Baker Plbg
The worst appears to be fuel oil and

propane. ah Ground source heat pumps and um natural gas are like this, back and forth.
00:00:30
Baker Plbg
um And the variable, of course, the variable is just of the yeah cold climate air source heat pump is just a smidgen above the natural gas.
Costs of Heat Pump Installation
00:00:40
Baker Plbg
Like you say, there's a lot of costs that go into um installing a ah air handling or what is it? fuck A air sourced heat pump.
00:00:54
Baker Plbg
The very first thing you've got to look at is upgrading your electrical system to 200 amps. That is absolutely what they recommend. What the cost of that is obviously varies depending on your electrician and your grid and all the rest that stuff, but it's anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000 to make that

upgrade. And I'm just going to read it straight from the horse's mouth. This is the what I get in my comments, right? um ah
00:01:20
Baker Plbg
Air source heat pumps can operate down to temperatures as low as 30 degrees Celsius. That's what they tell me. I just read that. That's right from the report. Read the next freaking paragraph, losers.
00:01:31
Baker Plbg
The heat output of the COP, which is the coefficient of performance, which is a made-up effing thing, so it makes it so obscure nobody knows what you're talking about.
00:01:41
Baker Plbg
um the ah coefficient of performance of all every single one air source heat pump significantly reduces as the outside air temperature drops. Therefore, both types of air source heat pumps will require A fully redundant electrical resistance heater to heat your home when the ASP or ASHP cannot keep up and shuts down or off at temperatures below their minimum rated operating

temperature. When the temperatures drop below freezing, all, again, all ASHP, AASHPs will periodically need to use that resistance energy to defrost their outdoor coils, which also reduces the coefficient of performance.
00:02:35
Baker Plbg
It's right in the

thing. Like you can read the bold print and try and slap me with it and say, oh, Baker, you don't know what you're talking about.
00:02:44
Baker Plbg
It doesn't say. it says when the air temperature drops, it significantly reduces the COP, the coefficients of performance of every air handling heat pump.
