Greg,
Unsure how long this advantage will hold up but my new place has a Trane 13
SEER heat pump with variable speed air handler. My bills are reasonable,
even cheap comparatively, and you can't hear a sound or find cold/hot spots.

We live in North Carolina and winters will get down to single digits briefly
and the teens commonly. Summers to high 90's. I used to swear by natural gas
until my winter dry, itchy skin flakes largely went away with a heat pump.

I mention the brand because they did an awesome job of backing their product
in a bad situation at another house when I got a replacement. That
replacement unit is the one that convinced me to stay with electricity.

I saw in last night's paper that natural gas prices have doubled since the
first of this year, that's the piracy!

We've always done pretty well using natural gas - but this latest
attempt to gouge customers has me over the top. Last year, I added
insulation and generally tightened up the structure. Lower losses
were immediately offset by higher prices, now this!

We are about to need a new furnace soon, and I've been looking at
alternatives. But they won't let me install a nuclear furnace here...

Man, how I long for that wood burning stove we used in the OLD home...
