[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3230125, member: 7900"] While I'm not an expert by any measure of insulation, I do definitely advise at least 2"x6" walls. Also, I'm just not sold on heat pumps. They don't seem to be all that good once temps get below 40 degrees. Back many, many moons ago, we lived in the Oklahoma Panhandle on a farm/ranch, and with the frequency of power outages in the winter due to storms, we found having gas wall furnaces to be a great thing. Power went off, we still had heat. We knew a guy that was building a new home, and I asked him what he was doing for heat. He said central heat and air, so I mentioned having a wall furnace or two as well. Sure enough, the winter after he moved in, the power went off for over a week. He sure was glad that he had followed my suggestion. However, I don't know if they even do wall furnaces any more. [/QUOTE]
