Heat Pump refrigerant

[John Hilley]

Propane is still cheaper than electric and we probably have the cheapest electric of anywhere here in North Dakota. I built a new house two years ago and payed $2,000 to add extra meter and etc. for off peak electric. Last year electric was twice as expensive as propane when propane was 99 cents/gal. Just filled this week for $1.36/gal, still way cheaper. They wanted $3,000 more to add heat pump to HVAC. I'm 74, don't think I would ever come out ahead.

Thanks for the video link, Mile High.  It brought a chuckle............I sold/installed a goodly  number of residential heat pumps in the Houston area (mostly where folks had older "all electric homes" and there was no nat gas  on the property) and I always made sure to tell those customers to advise their neighbors not to call the fire dept when they saw the outside unit "smoking" .......... 'twas steam, of course.    I'm sure 92GA can relate to that..............
