Rebates: Province Matches Federal 25% Increase

Ontario homeowners can now unlock substantially increased rebates for energy efficiency upgrades from roof to basement. Ontario is more than doubling its investment in its popular Home Energy Savings Program. Rebates for changes like fixing insulation in ceilings, foundations, basements, and crawl spaces as well as upgrading leaky windows and doors are increasing by 25 percent or more. Making simple efficiency upgrades at home can make a noticeable difference on energy bills.

More evidence geothermal heating is the best way to heat your Muskoka home and provide the maximum energy savings

Monday, June 8th, 2009

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced that it will offer nearly $50 million in funds from the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act to accelerate the deployment of geothermal heat pumps (GHPs). Also referred to as ground-source heat pumps, GHPs generally achieve higher efficiencies than air-source heat pumps, because the ground maintains a relatively stable temperature throughout the year, even during heat waves and extreme cold snaps. They can provide space heating and cooling and water heating for residential and commercial buildings. According to the DOE, GHPs can substantially reduce the electricity demand for buildings, providing building owners and residents with lower utility bills and reduced maintenance costs.

FRIGIDAIRE LAUNCHES 22-SEER iQ DRIVE HEAT PUMP The Industry’s most efficient air-source heat pump.


St. Louis, May 28, 2009 — Frigidaire is pleased to announce the introduction of the industry’s most efficient air-source heat pump. The iQ Drive heat pump achieves up to 22 SEER, 10 HSPF and 14.6 EER.

 

The Frigidaire iQ Drive heat pump is an evolution of the Frigidaire 24.5 SEER iQ Drive air conditioner and uses the same inverter-driven rotary technology to achieve high efficiency levels. The unit can modulate anywhere from 40 to 118 percent of capacity, instantly adjusting to exactly offset the demands on the home.

 

This is an absolutely amazing product,” says Matt Lattanzi, iQ Drive product manager for NORDYNE. “It operates completely differently from a traditional air-source heat pump in that it runs almost constantly at a low level. This makes a huge difference in comfort and sound levels, especially at night.”

 

The Frigidaire iQ Drive is also the industry’s quietest heat pump, operating as low as 59 decibels. Its near-continuous operation also means it provides outstanding dehumidification. “The homeowner can set their desired humidity level, and the iQ Drive heat pump will maintain it within 5 percent of set point,” adds Lattanzi.

 

When paired with the Frigidaire iQ Drive fully modulating gas furnace rated at 97% AFUE and higher, the iQ Drive heat pump also creates the industry’s most efficient dual-fuel system
