Is it worthwhile investing on a heating pump?
The answer would depend on a few factors. If you are staying in an area where you have ready access to natural gas, it might be wise to stick to the conventional cooling and heating devices. Since natural gas is a highly energy efficient and cost effective source of energy, investing separately on electricity just for the heat pump wouldn't make much sense.
Things, however, are much different if you are staying at a place where you use fuel-oil or electric resistance for heating. In such places investing in a heat pump can mean you making substantial savings. Of course electrical-resistance heating would be much cheaper to install than a heat pump. But a heat pump can produce at least 1.5 to 2.5 times more heat using the same energy. That would make a heat pump significantly more efficient than a conventional electric-resistance heater.
Heat pumps work hard year round, keeping you cool in the summer and heating your home when needed during the winter. Dipple Plumbing, Electrical, Heating and Air can repair your current system or consult with you on a new energy efficient heat pump upgrade that will cut your energy costs.

These credits are effective through December 21, 2016. In order to be eligible for the tax credit, geothermal heat pumps must meet Energy Star criteria (specified in Section 6.4 below). In 2006-2007 geothermal heat pumps were eligible for a smaller credit as part of the home improvements credit described above.
