2nd thursday

This tutorial will show you how to use the MassLandlords heat pump vs. furnace or boiler calculator. Knowledge of Excel is recommended but not required. The heat pump vs. furnace or boiler calculator helps you find the best way to heat your buildings. We will cover:

  • How to model your apartment, including R factors for walls.
  • How to model a gas boiler or furnace in the calculator.
  • How to enter heating and cooling degree days to simulate weather at your property.
  • Bottom line, how much can we (or our renters) save?
  • And much more!

Attendees will leave knowing where to find and download our heat pump vs. furnace calculator and how to use it. Note: the heat pump vs. furnace calculator is a members-only benefit. Purchase of an event ticket does not grant access to the calculator, although you are welcome to purchase a ticket and learn even if you are not a member. Presenter is not a licensed plumber; this is a presentation about whether and which heat pump to install, not how to install.

An air source heat pump with a heating season performance factor (HSPF) of 10.3 might use 3.48 kW to move 22,100 BTUs. An 80% annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) furnace or boiler migth use 80,000 BTU of natural gas to produce 64,000 BTU of hot water or air.

Key differences: You need 3 of these heat pumps to equal 1 of these boilers. The heat pump moves much more heat than you pay for, because the heat comes from air not fuel.
The Excel spreadsheet that comprises the calculator accepts apartment size and R factors for walls, doors and windows to help you see where your apartment loses heat.
The heat pump vs natural gas spreadsheet tool models an apartment as a simple rectangle with areas and R-values for the various surfaces include windows, doors, etc.
