Default Electro Pak Heating ??

Hello all -

I was recently browsing some real estate ads, and saw something called
"Electro Pak" heating.

See picture #18 at this URL:

How does this rate in terms of cost, efficiency, etc.?

This is the only home I've ever seen equipped with one.

Call the cute brunette agent across the Susquehanna River, in Milton.
She may know more details.

The listing shows wood for heat. I'm guessing the
item in question is electric heat. Extremely expensive
to operate. Hope you like buying and stacking wood,
and tending the wood burner many times a day.

That would be my guess too. A way of saying electric heat without
really saying it because people know it's expensive to operate.

Roof top units for HVAC are some times called
gas pack, if the fuel source is NG or propane.

It looks to me like they are using somethng like an on demand electric water
heater instead of a boiler for hot water heating of the house. I guess that
it is a very expensice heat such as electric baseboard heat would be in a
cold area of the country.

Around here the gas pack is natural gas (guess it could be propane) for the
heat and central air. All of this outside. While some could be on the
roof, many around this area are on the ground and outside the house..

In the neighbor hood I lived in about 10 years ago the houses had natural
gas heat with the furnace under the house. I had air condition added on to
the heating system. Some put in gas packs as their heating systems got old
and started giving trouble. I moved, but may have put in a heatpump. Only
problem was the houses were built around 1965 and did not have very much
insulation in the walls, or attic . I think the attic had about 3 inches of
that cut up paper type insulation when they were built. Enegery was cheap
then. No problem to add up top, but difficult for the walls.

I lived in Milton and worked at USP-Lewisburg. Never saw a unit like
the above. We had oil furnace with hot water baseboard panels.

We had a faux fireplace (emergency) but no wood burned.

OP could can the agent listing the home and ask.

I currently have 2 homes with Electro Pak electric hot water heating systems. It is very clean, even heat. In my area, electric costs are low so the cost is moderate. I have dry eyes, so it is good for me since there is no air movement as in a forced air system. I would install it again if I were to build another home.
