Re: Home Heating Survey (none / 1)
DC area ..

  • Fossil Fuel system:  90+% efficiency gas furnace plus a SEER16+ heat pump, with controller choosing between electricity & gas for heating efficiency based on temperatures (and prices)

  • Radiant floor heating for one portion of house

  • High-Efficiency wood-burning fireplace (haven't used it yet) -- partial of heating load -- only using wood cut down within walking distance (e.g., neighbor's trees)

  • Controller:  10 degrees C (50 f) when house unoccupied; 16 deg C night (63 degrees); generally 19-20 deg C occupied (67-69 F). (Note: young children, driving to higher temperatures.)
