Lets not give up on an outstanding thread.
This thread had been quite valuable to get us thinking about not only the cost this year but the cost and best logic going forward. I applaud the great information and beg that the personal stuff can quite down so we can get back to learning together.
Something tells me that global warming is going to do little to reduce our heating requirements.
I know that heat pumps are only efficient to a certain temperature but wonder if there is some data that would suggest that running a heat pump as a secondary source when the temperature is warm enough makes any sense? In other words how many KW does it take to heat pump 1000btu when the outside temp is 40 degrees? 50? 60?
