Heat pumps

The only thing I wish we had done different on our 05 36TK3 is to have gotten heat pumps.

As others have stated, when elect is included with your rate, use elect. When not, it may be a trade-off in cost but you do not have to remove and fill the propane tanks if you use elect.

The only down side to heat pumps is that the floor does not get warmed, even with using the ceiling fan to circulate. I do wish there was an option of elect strips that could be put in the furnace that could be used for that purpose even though resistive heating is 100% efficient, heat pumps are a little over 100% due to the mechanical gain. If someone knows of any, please post.
