[QUOTE="Forgalspop, post: 4202224, member: 46636"] [USER=45550]@Firpo[/USER]: I think heat pumps are an abomination. Been living with one for 37 years. Actually we are on the second unit. The first AC/Heat Pump died at 23 years of age. This one is getting up in years. The AC/ works great. For heat, I can't believe heat pumps are all that efficient. And like you say, when your power goes out, you better have a big generator to run one. A few years back when we had the major ice storm, we were without power from the grid for 4 days. Ran two generators to separate legs of the breaker box and got by with small heaters and fireplace. Cooked outside on the pellet grill. Fortunately, it has been a rare occurrence to losing power for over an hour or two since we have lived here. Our rural Electric company does a great job. ( CREC ) [/QUOTE]
