Hello Beyond,
Hoping someone can offer recommendations for our current heating situation.
We are building a very efficient cottage that will be lived in year round. We're having an issue on deciding how to heat the home. We will have a backup wood stove but I don't want to rely on the stove. The issue is we won't have access to gas, electric will be our only method for heating besides wood/pellet.
Specs:
1600Sqft over 3 floors including the basement
R40 Sip Panel Walls
R35 Basement Walls
R60 Sip Panel Roof
Triple Pane Windows
7kW DC Solar System
We are currently looking at Mitsubishi Zuba Central HeatPump system which has a lot good feedback. http://mitsubishielectric.ca/en/hvac/zuba-central/
We may consider GeoThermal but has a big upfront cost.
Any recommendations?
