[QUOTE="chaded, post: 1838319, member: 33922"] I guess it’s a matter of perspective because I can‘t imagine using gas heat that far south. 😆 Here a dual fuel set-up would be nice but it would have to be propane because there is no natural gas available. There would obviously be additional costs with another set-up and whatnot and I’m not sure how long the savings would take to be realized because it really doesn‘t get real cold here for long stretches. We did have a geothermal setup but it was 20 years old and went out and the cost to replace with a new one was 7-10k over the Bosch air to air heat pump. I’m not sure we are going to live here long enough for the savings and the new air pump costs very close to run as the old geo did. I’m sure a newer up to date geo would of been more efficient than both but then the costs… We used to have a hardy outdoor wood boiler as back-up to the old geothermal but that thing was a forest eater it seemed and I didn’t like cutting wood that much.
