Would be pleased if someone can authoritatively answer an unresolved
question: Can a heat pump work well in a ca. 1964 house whose ducting

is
sized for a 100,000 BTU gas furnace?

Thank you kindly.

How cold does it get outside in winter?


It freezes over hard maybe 3 days a year, is frosty for a dozen, and is
mostly cold and rainy.

Marginal electricity rate is 6.89 cents/KwH, BTW, corrected from my

earlier
posting.


Then my best guess would be that a heat pump will work just fine as long as
it is sized properly and you have the right ductwork, including adequate
returns.
