what as the cost of heat for a 1200 square foot home in 2004
No. The compressor is needed to run in reverse in order to pull warm air from the outside to heat the home.
No, the amount of BTUs needed to cool a house is different from heating it. Cooling typically requires fewer BTUs because it involves removing heat from the indoors to maintain a lower temperature, while heating involves adding heat to raise the temperature.
The electricity needed to heat a house typically comes from the grid or a local power plant, not from a generator or a dry cell. Generators are usually used as backup power sources for temporary or emergency situations, while dry cells, like batteries, are not designed to provide the continuous high power output required for heating a house.
A 4 ton heat pump should be fine, depends on how well your house is insulated. If the house is well insulated you might be fine with a smaller unit.
The amount of heating oil needed to heat one gallon of water varies depending on the efficiency of the heating system. Generally, it can take about 0.03 to 0.05 gallons of heating oil to heat one gallon of water.
36000 Btu
Heat energy leaves the house due to convection, conduction, and radiation. Convection occurs when warm air rises and is replaced by cooler air, carrying heat energy out. Conduction transfers heat through direct contact with colder objects like windows and walls. Lastly, radiation allows heat energy to escape as infrared radiation through windows and gaps in insulation.
A furnace is needed to keep your house warm because it generates heat by burning fuel or using electricity, which is then distributed throughout the house via ductwork or a heat pump system to maintain a comfortable temperature. Furnaces are efficient and effective at heating larger spaces compared to other heating methods.
There are 23 gallons in a 100lb tank that I use to heat my pool.
