I was thinking about getting a heat pump as our modern source of heating our home; However after I looked into it more I decided that it would be just too much trouble to deal with, however on top of the high cost of both the heat pump itself plus the upgrade cost, keeping up with the repair on the heat pump would be the worst of it all, and it would require more upkeep than our central heating plus A/C proposal does, and also I would have to spend our savings for all the repair on top of it all which also cost way more than what I do with our central heating plus a/c, however so I just decided to stick with what I know, which is our central heat plus A/C unit, central heating is not our number one I have to admit, however at this stage it is the cheapest because our central heating plus A/C proposal works entirely well plus has not had any split downs in a long time.
I just have our central heating plus A/C proposal tuned up plus checked up every season plus that is it; No additional cost or repair required other than increasing the air filter every other month.
And because I buy washable air filters, that saves me money on air filters too as I can just use the same air filter for about 6 months before having to change over to a fresh a single. Heat pumps are a nice proposal plus yes they may save on energy use, however for our lifestyle plus our time, it is just too much.
