Re: AC Fuel Source
Jim D., I am not familiar with the SOP you refer to, but if it says energy source rather than fuel, that might allude to the possibility of a ground source heat pump which is still uncommon but still much more common than the absorption systems that use gas as a fuel source.
Technically the ground source heat pump does not get energy from the earth but rather releases energy to the earth during the cooling cycle, but that is at least something to consider.
My state SOP requires the "type and energy source" be reported and I always state "central - electric" and then go on to further describe any peculiarities that might be present such as a ground source heat pump, etc. in my comments should the need arise. I have often questioned the need to state the obvious also, but I just report it and leave it at that.
I think it is just in there because it is listed that way in the section above which is heat... but that is just my opinion.
Jim L.
