[quote=Anonymous]I built an all-electric house in DC in 2022. Heat pump for heating and cooling, heat pump water heater, induction cooktop. Also ventless dryer. I love it so much. We also made sure during construction that the house was well-sealed (scored 1.4 ACH50 on the blower door test for the nerds). A house with no combustion going on allows you to seal the house much more thoroughly, no chimneys or vents or makeup air. A well-sealed house is a joy. It's quieter, more comfortable, less dusty. Many mornings I wake up and I have no idea what the weather outside is like, the house feels the same inside at 30F as it does at 85F outside. All of the appliances work at least as well as the ones they replaced. The induction cooktop is far superior to gas, in particular. The heat pump has no problem with heating or cooling in our climate. [/quote]
