Keep your home TEMPERATURE STABLE

OKAY so you’ve made your home into an all electric, power sipping wonder, and anything you heat, you heat with heat pumps (unless you are heating your dinner, that’s done with an induction cooker). And your electric appliances are parsimonious with power. But you’d still prefer not to use up too much power heating your home because you know that’s where a large percentage of energy is used (40 to 50 per cent in cold climates). The more stable your home temperature, the more comfortable it will be and the easier your reverse cycle AC (which we’ll call a heat pump) will have to work, extending its life.
