The Work- Mechanical Systems

Most Zero Energy Now projects involve heat pump systems that are carefully designed to effectively carry the entire heating load of the house. Biomass heating systems – wood or pellet stoves, or pellet boilers or furnaces – are sometimes used either to provide augmented or backup heat, or fossil-free whole-house heat.

In addition, heat pump water heaters and sometimes appliances such as dryers or energy recovery ventilators can be installed as well. Heat pump powered mechanicals are super-efficient in that they deliver heating, cooling, and hot water at greater than 100% efficiencies – dramatically reducing energy consumption.
