Available rebates and tax credits through the Department of Energy may help pay for energy-efficient products and replace heating systems that are 15 years old or older. Funding is available for ...
The Energy Department has tips on the most efficient temperature range for homes in the winter months.
Best temperature setting for thermostats during winter in New York Rochester Gas & Electric (RG&E) says to set your thermostat "as low as comfort permits," as 3% more energy could be used for ...
The building balance point temperature is the outdoor air temperature when the heat gains of the building are equal to the heat losses. [1] Internal heat sources due to electric lighting, mechanical equipment, body heat, and solar radiation may offset the need for additional heating although the outdoor temperature may be below the thermostat set-point temperature.
Some systems use a heat pump to help charge and discharge the storage during part or all of the cycle. For cooling applications, often only circulation pumps are used. Sorption and thermochemical heat storage are considered the most suitable for seasonal storage due to the theoretical absence of heat loss between charging and discharging. [5]
Equipment designed for use in particularly extreme cold conditions (such as the polar regions) also undergoes a "winterization" process.Many complex devices (automobiles, electronics and radios) as well as common materials (metals, rubbers, petroleum lubricants) are not designed to operate at extremely low temperatures and must be winterized to operate without severe damage from the elements ...

The heat pump itself can be improved by increasing the size of the internal heat exchangers, which in turn increases the efficiency (and the cost) relative to the power of the compressor, and also by reducing the system's internal temperature gap over the compressor. Obviously, this latter measure makes some heat pumps unsuitable to produce ...
