[QUOTE="Riley, post: 3231398, member: 29196"] I have both a heat pump, a standard ac unit, and a gas fired furnace. The heat pump cools efficiently and produces decent heat during "shoulder season", however when it gets "cold"; I switch it to emergency and run gas through the winter. With our gas v. electric costs it works out to a reduced bill. Another thing I think gets lost, is that the heat pump, while producing air temps above ambient, tend to feel cooler than gas heat. Might be perception but I prefer the real warmth of a gas or wood furnace when it's cold out. Concerning insulation I think its a pay me now or pay me later kind of thing. There is a definite payback period then it's money in the bank. [/QUOTE]
