[QUOTE="WHITE2000GT, post: 14775102, member: 20011"] I'm not an expert at HVAC, nor do I know much about HVAC systems, but I wanted to give some input on switching from electric heat (heat strips) to a heat pump. Its probably not a really good example, but I did this swap on our older mobile home a year or so ago after my heat AND ac took a dump in the same year....what a difference it made! I went with an Amana brand "package unit" heat pump (3 ton, 13 seer I believe) and it made our home feel SOOO much better in winter and in the summer. Beware, the heat pumps heat isn't quite like the electric heat, in that the heat from the heat pump isn't really "hot" like with electric heat with heat strips, when putting your hand over the registers. However, it warms really well. We are now using the old space that was used for the heat and ac unit as a small closet as well. And as others have said, your power bill should pretty much be cut in half (or close to it) after the swap. Our power bill was an outrageous $400 or more during the winter. After the new unit, our power bill is now $180-$250 depending on how cold it gets....and keep in mind, this is a mobile home, so its not very well insulated, lol. [/QUOTE]
