Heat pump in next week's weather

[Anonymous]

Our bill passed month is $275 for a 8000 sf house with 3 gas furnace. Our 2500 sf mountain home with a heat pump that is 1 year old was $650. Heat pumps are a scam.

Wow $275 is really low for that square footage. We have less than half that and our gas bill was $165 for period ending yesterday

My mountain home has baseboard heat only which is incredibly inefficient so we’re getting a heat pump installed. Now you have me concerned I’m making the wrong choice. Currently it can take a day to heat to house up (we don’t leave the heat up due to cost).

If your house has gas service then get a gas furnace. Electric heat will always be more expensive. And heat pumps don’t give you that toasty warm heat.

No gas. I’d need to get a propane tank. I have a wood stove to supplement but haven’t ever really figured out how to use it (and probably need to get it cleaned and inspected).

Don’t be dense. They don’t have a gas line to the house.

Also, equipment is specific to natural gas or propane. We have propane due to no natural gas line to our house, and the heat is nice and warm.
