Switching to Full Electric: How This Chicagoland Home Survived -13°F with Heat Pumps 🥶⚡

Описание: Can you really go 100% electric in a cold climate like Chicago? ❄️

Join Aaron Stash on The Electric Home Show as we visit Evanston, Illinois, on a freezing February morning to tour a fully electrified townhome. We sit down with homeowner and environmental advocate Michael, alongside Rory from Northwind Heating and Air Conditioning, to see exactly how this home ditched gas for high-efficiency heat pump technology.

From surviving the January 2026 Polar Vortex without need for backup heat to cutting dryer energy usage by 50%, this episode is a masterclass in home decarbonization and comfort.

🔍 What’s Inside This Episode:

Cold Climate Heat Pumps: See the Bosch Ultra in action, heating a home down to -13°F without breaking a sweat.

The "Spaceship" Water Heater: How the Bosch GreenTronic 7000 uses ambient air to provide hot water.

Ductwork Secrets: Why a Manual J load calculation and proper return sizing are the "make or break" factors for heat pump performance.

The Heat Pump Dryer Advantage: Why swapping electric resistance for a heat pump dryer saves money and seals a "leak" in your home's envelope.

Energy Monitoring: How Michael uses Emporia and EcoBee to track energy use and indoor air quality in real-time.

"I was tired of my fingers growing numb around Thanksgiving... I knew we could live more comfortably." — Michael, Evanston Homeowner
