If you're like many Canadians, then you're always looking for ways to save money on your heating and cooling costs.There have been numerous advancements in the heating and cooling industry, which all have the same goal in mind: super energy efficiency coupled with optimal performance. Here is an overview of some of the most cutting-edge new systems that can benefit both home and business owners: 

Hybrid heating & cooling systems

Homes and businesses powered by solar energy have been around for a while, as have ground heat pumps. Despite this fact, it wasn't until recently that the two were combined, creating an amazing mix. Researchers came up with the idea after conducting numerous experiments to create a way to improve existing heating and air conditioning systems. Since this new hybrid system drastically reduces the amount of electricity necessary to power the systems, businesses and homeowners can expect to save as much as $1,500 on an annual basis. 

These dynamic hybrid systems are currently available to businesses throughout Canada, and your local heating and cooling company can provide you with information on upgrading to one. These systems are available for residential properties, as well.

Geothermal HVAC systems

This is another amazing technologically-advanced HVAC system that could save you as much as 70% off your heating and cooling costs. Geothermal heat pumps function in the opposite manner of solar units. Instead of deriving energy from the sky, geothermal units are powered by transferring heat from the ground. Heat is transferred from the ground to a home or building's interior via pipes that are installed underground. As a result, a comfortable, stable temperature is maintained year round. 

Biomass heating & cooling 

With this type of HVAC system, energy is produced in order to heat or cool a building by burning organic matter. This material can consist of wood chips or pellets, corn husks, leaves, grass clippings, and even wastes. Once the energy is created, it is used to provide warmth and cooling in various types of buildings. Biomass HVAC systems can dramatically reduce the need for electricity, when it comes to maintaining the temperature in your home, and this frees up money to be used elsewhere.

As innovations continue to be introduced in all industries, especially in HVAC, consumers will find it increasingly easier to achieve the ultimate in comfort at much lower costs. Many of these advanced HVAC systems are expensive initially, when compared to traditional choices, but if you upgrade to one, you will soon discover the many benefits.
