Heat pumps are the most efficient way to heat or cool a house as well as year round hot water heating. Most people find it pays back within a few years especially if they have solar.

    They are very efficient indeed! But we have the windows open for 75% of the year, closed for 10%, and only turn the HVAC on the the remaining 15%. It unfortunately does not pencil out for me. However, when my existing system kicks the bucket, you bet your ass I'm going all electric!
