About this episode
Barry’s Heat Pump Promises:
1. Your AC will die on the hottest day of the year
2. PG&E gas rates will keep going up
3. Resistance — to electrification — is futile
So… are heat pumps part of the solution, or just part of the precipitate…or problem?
This week on The Energy Show, Barry Cinnamon sits down with Dana Fischer from Mitsubishi Electric to explore the truths about modern heat pump systems — and why today’s technology is NOTHING like the loud, inefficient, polluting heating and cooling systems in most homes.
In this episode:
• Why California’s new “AC2HP” rules could impact your next HVAC replacement
• Manual J, no way José
• The hidden differences between old-school heat pumps and today’s inverter-driven systems
• The #1 sizing mistake that causes comfort problems and high bills
• How homeowners are cutting gas usage and moving toward all-electric homes
• Heat pump rebates, tax credits, and hidden savings opportunities
• Maintenance tips that can save you thousands over the life of your system
• How heat pumps can improve indoor air quality while reducing smog and pollution
If your AC system is aging — or you’re even THINKING about replacing your HVAC system — this episode could save you from making a very expensive mistake.
