My house is all electric. 15 SEER heat pump, works pretty well for all but the very coldest weather we get here. When the rare single digits and below come around, the “emergency” heat strip kicks in, and the bill will be a big one if that happens more than a few times in a billing cycle. All said, gas heat is better from a comfort perspective still, it’s warmer overall whereas a heat pump takes several seconds to begin blowing warm. But, this house had what I wanted other than that.

I just re-read your earlier post, I guess I shouldn’t complain about my bill.

My house is about 3500 feet, 3 levels. Sorry, don’t know how I did that. We ended up with a house and location we call our ‘dream home’. More house than 2 people need, but we would be foolish to move, unless market conditions improve considerably.

Anyway, most winter nights here are in the single or teen digits, and almost up to freezing most days.
