Comparing cost of oil and electricity for heat

BroadHopper · 12-28-2021, 09:08 AM

I know of a software engineer that reprogrammed a Nest thermostat that bases the auxiliary cutover of his electric heat pump to the NG condensing boiler based on the price of NG vs electricity that he manually enter into the thermostat. He thinks this will be the future of 'intelligent' thermostats.

I also know of a fairly large building in Center Harbor built in the 1800s, switched from an antiquated oil boiler to a state-of-the-art geothermal heat pump. Owner claims heating cost went from $1500 @ month to $150 @ month. Pretty impressive!
