My house was built in '56 with no insulation in the exterior walls and only
6" in the attic. We put a 13 SEER Goodman Heat Pump in 2 years ago and it was the best
decision we've made in quite a while. My Oct. power bill, with basically no
heat or AC, was $94. My Nov. bill was $134 and the average temp was
6.8 degrees below normal here in central NC. We keep the heat on either
69 or 70 and the digital non-prog. thermostat is setup to come on and
off at 1 degree below and above the set temp. My Dad had a HVAC business
for 33 years and he has always been an advocate set it and forget it and personally
believe he's right. I'm basically heating my 1900sq.ft. brick ranch for about
a dollar a day.
