And I should look into one but I'm not sure the money is going to be available.
Looks like the heatpump is quite a bit more expensive than a standard oil burner setup. I'll need to do some research to find out what the payback time period is. We've got a 78,000 BTU furnace now, that seems quite large by heatpump standards but again it provides all our hot water. Of course the money has to come in first... -Curt Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2012 15:38:43 -0500 From: "WILTON" <[email protected]> To: "Mercedes Discussion List" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] 2x4s [was: Re: Water Heater] Message-ID: <132051526D804AC7B528F02C328EFDE6@wiltonPC> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original Ground/water source heat pumps work very nicely and very efficiently most anywhere.
