The spring home show is over. It was our busiest since the recession hit. Of all the questions we were asked, one tops the list. Homeowners with electric baseboard or electric wall heaters wanted to know, “how do I lower my heating costs?” When we answered, “Ductless Heat Pumps”, more questions followed. When should I […]
