What\u2019s the biggest energy hog in your home?<\/p>\nWhat\u2019s the biggest energy hog in your home?<\/p>\n
Yep. It\u2019s your HVAC system. That always uses the most energy. And there\u2019s not really anything you can do to drive it down to second place.<\/p>\n
But, speaking of second place, that spot\u2019s held by your water heater.<\/p>\n

So, you don\u2019t have to worry about fights over who gets to use what and when!<\/p>\n
Your heat pump pulls in heat from the air that surrounds it. This heat warms the water in the storage tank. And your heat pump can pull this off even if the air surrounding it feels cool to you.<\/p>\n
This process simply heats your water in a much more efficient manner than gas or electricity ever can.<\/p>\n
