If you are considering going all electric, and wondering what it will cost you during the winter months, Jeff has detailed data from last winter.

His system is not a small, mini split system. It’s a full size, direct replacement of a traditional ducted furnace and AC system. Jeff has detailed circuit level energy s0onsumption data so he can see what the backup heat strips consume vs the heat pump, and it’s tracked in detail, and not mixed in with the rest of the house loads.

Jeff did some insulation improvements but did those over a year before the conversion; so same house, 2023-2024 with gas heat, and then 2024-2025 with all electric heat.

Jeff will also briefly discuss the ways he gave his heat pump as many advantages as he could to get as much performance as he could, and limit the potential winter operational issues that can happen.

Should be very informative for us energy nerds as well for those looking at alternatives.
