Yeah, I'm not arguing it isn't an added strain on the grid but to call them inefficient is wrong. I want to get rid of my oil furnace and get a heat pump. I got a quote but I'm waiting until there is more clarification from the federal government in regards to HEEHRA. Bought 200 gallons this year. Hoping it lasts. This cold snap is putting a dent in it though.

If you’re looking for a good affordable alternative, I bought my own from Alpine Air for $5k instead of the $20k the local installers wanted. 90% of it is doable yourself, someone just needs to come charge it with refrigerant.

Ive installed a bunch of systems and have my EPA 608 certificate. I know I can install it and have no issues, but I won't get the warranty. A highly reputable vendor that does work for my company quoted me at 7500 for a trane 14 SEER unit. My carrier oil furnace is not old, so I'm opting to keep it for back up heat or else I'd go to a higher SEER.
