Carl Diuvenvorden says electric baseboard heating is inefficient and tells Tide News from first hand experience he knows what effect the installation of heat pumps or mini splits can have.
He says, "I can tell you, my mother lives in northern New Brunswick and she installed two mini-splits and a few other upgrades as well, and her power bills fell by 50%. In the case of a mini-split, they are several thousand dollars each."
Diuvenvorden says with baseboard heating you get one unit of heat for each unit of electricity.
