[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4170100, member: 5412"] I'm kind of mixed on what system to use. Our home was built in the late 80's. We moved into it in the early 90's. It had a total electric system with the electric heat strips that worked great. In about 2019 decided the system was getting old, and needed replaced. It was still operating perfectly, but we bought into the new heat pump that's gonna save you money........blah, blah. Had it installed. Back with the old system, we kept the house at about 69 to 70 degrees and was comfortable. Electric bill was as an example, $150. After the heat pump installation that was so "energy efficient" our bill has not gone down. We do the annual averaging so it's pretty easy to track as the major cold/heat spells are averaged out. Now in the winter though, we have to keep the heat up to 75 degrees and are always cold. Evenings are spent wrapped up in a blanket in the recliners. That is the major complaint against heat pumps from what I read on the internet. People are always feeling cold because of the way they generate the heat. So, it didn't diminish our electric bill at all IMHO, but we have a new Bryant unit that has ran without any issues. [/QUOTE]
