My wife keeps saying we should get a heat pump. I had no idea it was $20k installed. Seems like with the increased electricity cost and the purchase/install costs, it would take a long time to make your money back in not using oil or propane heat?

The real problem is the opportunity cost of spending 20k that isn’t going into mutual funds, retirement savings, extra house payments.

It won't take as long after the legislature gets done.Silver lining to the price of oil/propane going even further up next year.
We won't talk about the cost of electricity.
Of course you could put in solar for another 20k no problem.
