Tim Shultz, WellConnect. Why Well-Connect? Why would someone consider Well-Connect over other heating/cooling options?
- The EV/electric vehicle situation is a cautionary tale for the move to ‘all electric heating and cooling in homes’. Drivers want hybrid so their local travel is low cost electric and when they want to make a trip they don’t have the ‘range anxiety’ of 100% electric. Big auto is scaling back their EV investments and Toyota stock jumped as they are pushing hybrid.
- For heating, all electric systems are often not the most economical option when considering up front and ongoing operating costs. Many people now have generators which need fuel to operate so keeping some fuel on the property is wise.
- Well-Connect is hybrid heating – geothermal for 80% to 90% and fossil fuel (propane or heating oil) for the rest. This is also known as dual fuel heating but Well-Connect is the only system patented to operate both systems simultaneously which generates significantly more savings and since it is an add-on to a home’s existing furnace, the system is much easier to install and much less expensive than other geothermal systems.
- 80/20 Rule
- If you have a water well and heat with propane, fuel oil, wood or electric, you should see if Well-Connect is a good fit for you as is the most affordable option for a rural home. If you have a well, you already have half of a geothermal system – just add a Well-Connect in as little as 8 hours.
- It also air conditions more efficiently than conventional air conditioners and without the outdoor noisy unit.
- Every unit has a real-time performance monitor so you’ll know just how much energy you’re saving and will alert you if you forgot to change your air filter.
