[QUOTE="rawhide, post: 3230303, member: 3448"] Thanks for the responses so far. As things stand right now the house will be a 1872 sqft. with 6" exterior walls. The heat pump is recommended with foam insulation to aid in pulling moisture out of the house. I plan to have a quality zero clearance fireplace with external air source to supplement the heat pump which "feels" cold because the air is below body temperature. The builder I'm leaning toward suggested the net & blow because he thinks foam can present some hazards. From what I can find so far I'm still liking the foam. The question I haven't been able to answer is whether or not the $5500 additional cost of foam & heat pump will be recovered or how long to recover. A builder and a hvac guy I trust says do the foam & heat pump if I can afford it. [/QUOTE]
