I almost had a heat pump installed and then a little thought resulted in the
future an ordinary window Air Chiller. Electric heat engine for heating is a
mistake, I think, if one has Nat. Gas. Of course I may be corrected. Nat. gas
is abut 50% energy source for electricity here is central Ca. not the most
efficient method or heating ones home. I think gas pipes are less expensive
than wires, and, except fro San Bruno, less fire problem. True a furnace has
some out the flue. One internet source agrees with me. A heat engine is
better for heat than Joule heating, of course,
bc …. expects comments.
p.s. This is even though I have solar panels on the roof. Only need heating
when there’s less sun. [Both time and clouds]
