So this I think would be the best and most cost effective idea
I was thinking about investing in a heat pump to heat our home. But after looking into it and seeing the cost of the heat pump itself along with the installation that the heating and a/c contractor charges I decided against it. Sure by getting a heat pump I could save a lot of money on energy bills in the long cold winters that we have here. But at the end of the day, I would be spending way more that would take me decades to make back even with the energy savings! I figured it all out. So because I am not a rich guy I am passing on the idea of getting a heat pump to heat my home, what I am thinking about doing though is getting a brand new and modern central heating and a/c component that has the best possible seer rating. With a certainly great seer rating you can save on energy use no matter how much you have to run your central heating or your central a/c component unit. So this I think would be the best and most cost effective idea. To just get a great seer rating heating and a/c unit is the cheapest answer within my budget to do something about it. I will be shopping for a new heating and a/c component unit this weekend. I am planning on going down to my local heating and a/c dealership and seeing what they have on sale.
