Carbon Calculator

Your carbon footprint is determined by how much carbon your actions release into the atmosphere. A percentage of the carbon released by the producers of the energy you use and the food and products you buy is attributed to you.

There are basically two types of natural gas heating systems: forced air and hydronic. Forced air systems heat air and push it through the home via ducts. Hydronic systems use steam or hot water with a boiler and circulate it via radiators or pipes in the floor.

Choose one Natural Gas heating system.

There are basically two types of electric gas heating systems: forced air (heat pumps and furnaces) and radiant. Forced air systems heat air and push it through the home via ducts. Radiant heating systems rely on a coil heating up and radiating heat.

Choose one electric heating system.

High efficiency heat pump

Standard efficiency heat pump
If your heat pump was installed between 1990 and 2000, it is most likely average efficiency.
Low efficiency heat pump
If your heat pump was installed prior to 1990, it is most likely low efficiency.
Electric forced air furnace
