THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, September 23, 1977 13 Nancy Dickerson, prominent national correspondent, reports for Detroit Edison: "Before another cold winter, learn about the heat pump. It's one of the most energy-efficient ways to heat your home": Today's heat pump is one of the most energy-efficient ways to heat your home, apartment, office or commercial building. It returns over 11/2 units of heat for every unit of energy it uses. Think what this can mean in conserving energy and helping to keep your heating and cooling costs down. There's a unique reason why the heat pump is an outstandingly efficient heating system. as the cold winter air outside your home. The hot air that you sometimes feel being blown into your kitchen is actually being extracted from the cold air inside the unit. This is how the heat pump warms your home. In summer, the process is reversed to cool your home: the heat in the inside air is extracted by the heat pump and moved outdoors. Here's how the heat pump works. It makes good use of outdoor heat. Yes. Even in winter there's heat in the outdoor air that can help keep you warm. The trick is to move that heat 'inside where you can use it. That's what the heat pump does. Only during very low temperatures is supplementary heat needed. In summer, the heat pump moves heat out of your home for energy-efficient cooling. It's an all-year comfort system that also filters and dehumidifies. And it's clean because no fossil fuel is burned in your home. The heat pump works something like your refrigerator. A heat pump is more sophisticated, but it works in much the same way. Imagine the cold air in your refrigerator See for yourself.
