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: http://www.flexmls.com/share/Md4K/17...sburg-PA-17837 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. |

Extremely expensive to operate. Hope you like buying and stacking wood, and tending the wood burner many times a day. -- .. Christopher A. Young learn more about Jesus .. www.lds.org .. .. |

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. -- .. Christopher A. Young learn more about Jesus .. www.lds.org .. .. |

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. |

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. |
