Example: 2000 Square Foot Home. 45,000 BTU Heating Load
A. POLAR BEAR Heat Pump - Will operate for $700.00 yearly which includes the supply of air conditioning and the reduction in hot water heating costs by up to 50%.
B. Electric Baseboard or Electric Forced Air - With No Supplemental Heating (Example: Firewood) Approximate Operating Costs: $2400.00 / year.
C. Oil Furnace - Approximate Operating Costs: $1400/Year. Included in this figure is Oil: $1100, Electricity: $200, and Service Calls at $100/year.
D. Propane in 1994 - Operating Costs would be similar to Electric Forced Air or $1750.00 Yearly.
E. High Efficiency Gas - Operating Costs would be similar to Ground / Water Source Heat Pumps or $800.00 Yearly.
Note: Electricity, until the end of the decade, will not increase in price more than the rate of inflation according to the latest information from Ontario Hydro. Oil, Gas, and Propane are more likely to increase in price at a far greater rate.
