Easiest would be to stuff in a 90+ furnace, but I wonder if a DX heat pump
would not be a better choice, depending on your electric rates compared to
the price of gas.

The DX heat pump requires, as per the designer who did such an install for
the local food co-op, 800-900 linear feet of tubing, and we just don't
have
the open yard for that with our present house, even in a slinky layout.
Drilling for vertical tubing installs would drive the cost waaay out of
bounds.



I said DX, air to air, not geothermal.
