Episode 5: The HVAC Challenge

For most homes, especially those in cold climates, converting the HVAC system from fossil fuels to electricity is the most difficult aspect of going carbon-free. We dedicate this whole episode to the HVAC conversion, with a special focus on cold climate heating. We discuss the strengths, weaknesses and operating costs of heat pumps, which are emerging as the most popular option for electric heating and cooling.
