Q&A: DOES TURNING OFF MY HEAT PUMP SAVE ENERGY?
Jan 18th
Question by bulbul b:
Does turning off my heat pump save energy?
When I not at home, should I turn off my heat pump to save electricity? I am confused, because many people are saying that by turning off my heat pump, I will not be able to save any electricity as
auxillary heat which is an electric heat will come into action when I will again turn on my heat pump.
Is it true?

IS IT BETTER TO KEEP YOUR HEAT AT 65 OR 62 AS FAR AS SAVING ENERGY?
Nov 15th
Question by Alfonso C:
Is it superior to keep your heat at 65 or 62 as far as saving energy?
I was shocked when I saw my propane bill for 4.65 a gallon. My home has propane heating and I have been keeping my heat at 62 to save energy, but I was wondering if it actually spends more gas, for it is turning on pretty often. Would it be superior to keep it at 65? thank you.

DOES IT SAVE MORE ON MY ELECTRICITY BILL TO TURN MY HEAT ALL THE WAY OFF DURING THE DAY OR JUST DOWN?
Oct 4th
Question by Cyndi C:
Does it save more on my electricity bill to turn my heat all the way off during the day or just down?
I have electric baseboard heating, and my roommate likes to turn the heat all the way off during the day and at night, but I was always told that you save more if you leave the thermostat at a constant level during the day, or maybe a few degrees lower than you like it, so that when you come home it doesn’t use as much energy to bring the room back up to a liveable temp. Does anyone know if this is true?

ARE LIGHT, SOUND, HEAT, WIND, FOOD DIGESTION, THOUGHTS, ALL FORMS OF ENERGY OR DO THEY ALL ENERGY PRODUCING?
Aug 6th
Question by Dr Peace:
Are light, sound, heat, wind, food digestion, thoughts, all forms of energy or do they all energy producing?
Are light, sound, heat, wind, food digestion, thoughts, all forms of energy or do they all energy producing?
Also, it is possible that a form of energy (Wind) that produces energy (wind energy that produces electricity) could produce a waste byproduct that could then be used as another form of energy? The heat produced by wind energy propellers/turbines, could then be converted into a form a solar energy?

IS THERE ANY SOLAR PANEL WHICH CAN HEAT THE WATER AND ALSO CHARGE THE BATTERIES SIMULTANEOUSLY?
Apr 18th
Question by madhu:
Is there any solar panel which can heat the water and also charge the batteries simultaneously?
If any body knows about a solar panel which can perform both the operation in a single panel i.e heating up the water as well as charging the batteries for electricity in a single panel. Please describe me about that and let me know where to look for it.

WHAT ENERGY SAVING DO YOU GET (IF ANY) FROM USING A CFL IN A SPACE THAT YOU HAVE TO HEAT ANYHOW?
Jan 14th
Question by newsgirlinos2:
What energy saving do you get (if any) from using a CFL in a space that you have to heat anyhow?
CFL’s require a much more massive investment over standard bulbs, so how do we select where to use them? If 75% of the energy in a standard light bulb produces heat then should we keep those bulbs in the places that are heated and save CFL’s for places that will not be heated?

DOES IT ACTUALLY SAVE ELECTRICITY TO LEAVE THE HEAT ON ALL THE TIME?
Sep 8th
Question by Kelsey [Gone]:
Does it actually save electricity to leave the heat on all the time?
As opposed to having the heat come on and off periodically during the day, does it actually save the required start-up energy to leave the heat on all the time? Is it true that the energy required to begin up the heat several times a day is more than leaving it on all the time?
I’ve heard this, but I have never found any proof of this despite some searching. Does anyone have any information?
Speaking for a standard two-level, 1980′s- built home with attic and partially underground basement.
