Electric vs. Gas Heat

In a shift from the past, it is now less expensive to heat with electricity than with natural gas.

• The cost of natural gas has risen dramatically in the last few years
  
  
• You can convert an existing gas furnace to a hybrid system by adding an electric heat pump.
  

Hybrid Systems: Best of Both Worlds

As demand for “Green” technology increases, alternatives to traditional heating and cooling options such as hybrid heat systems have become increasingly popular options.

• An energy efficient hybrid system combines a gas furnace with an electric heat pump
  
  
• Hybrid systems can cut your rising gas costs by 50% - 60%

Put Earth's Resources to Work for You

A geothermal heat pump system is a heating and/or an air conditioning system that uses the Earth's ability to store heat in ground and water thermal masses.

• A geothermal system transfers heat to or from the ground
  
  
• A geothermal heat pump draws on that available heat in the winter
  
  
• System reverses and puts heat back into ground in the summer
  
  
• Geothermal heating has the least expensive cost of operation
  
  

For more information about geothermal systems and how they work, read Geothermal Heating and Cooling.

Conventional Heating Solutions

Conventional ventilation systems, such as an oil or gas furnace and separate electric central A/C unit or an all-electric heat pump and backup heater, while available, are rapidly becoming things of the past.

• "Toaster-style" electric backup heaters are extremely inefficient and costly to operate
  
  
• A gas backup heater is more cost-efficient when temperatures drop below 35 degrees
  
  

Oil furnaces, while still available, are becoming a less desirable option as oil prices continue to rise and oil furnaces require more maintenance than gas or electric units.

Thiele Sells Only Top Brands From Manufacturers We Trust

We sell and install quality products from these and other top manufacturers, like Rheem, our flagship HVAC product line.

Our philosophy is that a properly installed low-cost system will work better than an improperly installed superior product.

The manufactured brand is not as important as a dealer and installer that does the job right, and stands behind their work.

For more information on these and our other fine products, read Our Brands: From Manufacturers We Trust.

Humidifiers Keep Homes Comfortable

Keeping your home comfortable during the dry winter season can be difficult because there just is not enough moisture in the heated air in your home to keep your skin properly hydrated.
