Government planners, taking their queues from politicians and advocacy organizations, have steered the future of energy supply away from fossil fuels and toward renewably-sourced electricity. It’s happening on every level from the feds right down to local city councils.
One of the major targets for this transition are heating systems, most of which currently operate on natural gas, fuel oil or propane. One of the challenges is how to migrate “legacy” heating systems that currently operate on these fuels over to heat pumps. Such migration is particularly challenging when it comes to hydronic heating systems.
