Abstract
This invention relates to a method of supplying desired quantities of heat, generated from selected inexpensive fuel burns in the firebox of a boiler, to an electric heat pump's refrigerant, while operating in its heating cycle. This supply of heat can be of sufficient quantities to satisfy the total ouput of the heat pump, minimizing its use of electricity, thereby creating a substantial savings, as the cost of the heat generated by the inexpensive fuel used by the boiler is much less than the cost of electricity.
