Question by : How good are the roof mounted AC/Heat pump units for motor homes?

I may have to replace 2 roof mounted AC units on my motor home and would like to know if anyone has had any experience with the AC/Heat Pump units. Do they throw a good supply of heat?

Best answer:

Answer by Ward
Yes they generally would do a good job. The only issue is you can generally only use them when on Mains power, or when you have a sufficient strong generator!

which system would be more energy efficent/cost effective for a 2 bedroom single storey house?

February 3rd, 2012

Question by Mr Yankee: which system would be more energy efficent/cost effective for a 2 bedroom single storey house?

1) A Halcyon 12RLS Wall Heat Pump 25 SEER

or

2) A high efficiency gas boiler (95%) and high efficiency central (14 sear) ac unit.

Thanks

Answer by Megan R.
Look at the SEER number, the higher the more efficient. The heat pump would cost much more than the standard ac unit at purchase, but you could recoup your investment by saving money every month. You would probably save money on the labor to install the heat pump over the “gas” boiler if you do not already have a gas line at the location of the air handler.

Passive Solar Air Heater Heating System Alternative Energy

February 2nd, 2012

This is a video of the Passive Solar Heating System in use at www.envirosponsible.com in Whitby, Ontario, Canada. It provides a great deal of heat, and the installer, Chris, will be making it more effecient by adding a second computer fan to push the warm air at the top, painting the inside better and taping the duct work. Also, the duct work will be directed into the office where the door can be closed and used in a smaller air mass. This kind of heater is ideal for urban survival and bugging in, since it requires no power input and is cheap and easy to make. It’s not just for strawbale, cob, cabins, cottages, earth ships or businesses. They can be installed on a home, and they look great when done right. Ragnar Benson would be proud.
