Great tips! We’ve really learned to turn the heat down a bit and make sure we’re all dressed for the outdoor weather instead – saves a lot. Thanks for linking to Money Saving Monday!

You don’t want to turn a Heat Pump down 10 degrees. Maybe 1 or at the max 2 degrees. Normally when it calls for heat for more than 2 degrees it goes into using resistance heating (the heat coil) and you lose the efficiency of a Heat Pump. This will either show up as emergency heating, or auxiliary heating — the blue light or red light, depending on your thermostat will come on showing that the resistance heat is being used to supplement the heat pump. There are special thermostats made for heat pumps that increment about 2 degrees at a time to get around this problem, but they are more expensive.

We just moved in July and our new house has fire place and a pellet stove! We are so excited to have tiny heating bills this winter! Especially since we’re having a baby in Feb and like the house to be warmer when we have a newborn at home.

BTW, HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning, which is a broad category into which your heat pump falls. You should refer to your heat pump as a heat pump.

I beg to differ about turning down the heat pump at night. You should be able to turn it down (not off!) 10 degrees or so and save money.

One of the best ways to save money is retaining the heat that you do use by adding insulation. This can be a big cost up front but there are lots of rebates and incentives out now, plus you will see that money returned on your energy bill.

Terribly sorry I didn’t use the exact phrasing! I know how important that can be. =)

Fine. Heat pump. 10 degrees, huh?
