[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had this issue despite having the latest heat pumps, etc, so when we built our house in 2020, we opted for all natural gas heating and a steam humidifier. made a huge difference. heat pumps always feel slightly chilly unless you put on the heat strips which is expensive and defeats the whole purpose of a heat pump.[/quote] We did something similar about 10 years ago. Our 2-story tract house has 2 zones. Downstairs and finished basement use gas furnace and a highish efficiency AC. Upstairs uses a Heat Pump. We set thermostats so upstairs is slightly cooler than downstairs. In the summer heat, the heat pump does most of the cooling. In the winter, the gas furnace does most of the heating. This works well for us. We are warm even on very cold days thanks to the gas furnace.[/quote]
