Reply to comment by johnsonutah in Heat Pump Cost by raidflex

If starting with oil heat, would try to size the solar for the heat pumps rather than the other way around. Unless it comes back to <$3/gallon, it makes sense to heat with heat pumps regardless of the solar capacity.

Interesting point! I’m curious how high electricity costs can go before it’s prohibitive / neutral to use heat pumps? I suppose the cost of electricity is likely to rise as oil prices go up (as we’ve seen) so there’s a correlation between the two meaning heat pumps are usually advantageous
