I completely agree. And if there was a natural gas line within a mile or so of me, I would have built with gas heating. However, living out here with my own private airstrip, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Tue Feb 16, 2021 1:22 pmI have been servicing HVAC systems for 35 years and know what I am talking about. Your home would heat much more effeciently, and cheaper with gas. One exception would be if you live in an area without natural gas lines(propane can cost as much as using electricity to heat a home). Maybe I should have worded it differently. I was tired from no sleep for so long. I should have said never heat a home as effeciently as gas heat. But the main point of the post was that larger homes use natural gas for heating the vast majority of the time.Mel wrote: ↑Tue Feb 16, 2021 12:46 pmI have to respectfully disagree here. My 2500 square foot home has been heated by a heat pump without a glitch for over 23 years. My wife & I built the house and it is properly insulated. The heat pump rarely calls in the auxiliary electric strips (Last few days exception).03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Tue Feb 16, 2021 6:45 am It just so happens that larger homes are far less likely to have heat pump systems because a heat pump would never heat a 2500 plus square foot home. I get so tired of everyone looking to be a victim. Next thing we will see is morons playing the race card.
