To me heat pumps are useless. Once the outside temperature gets to freezing or below the heat pump can't keep up. It's in the teens outside and, although I have the thermostat set at 70, it's 65 here in the house. The heat pump has not quit. Happily the emergency strips have not engaged otherwise my bill would be twice what it's going to be. I was going to to have gas heat when I had the house built but, because I thought my daughter was going to live with me and she's afraid of gas, I went with electric. Coulda, shoulda. I sit here with cold hands trying to stay warm. At least the sun is shining so it's warm in the sunbeams coming into the house. This keeps up I'm lighting a fire in the fireplace.
I'm told that heat pumps take the heat out of the air. What heat?! Where is the heat in 17 degrees? Believe me, the air coming out of the vents is NOT warm. Maybe warmer than outside but... If it weren't so costly I would have gas heat installed. Meanwhile I'll just hunker down and dress warm.
Y'all have a good day and remember....just because it's on the internet doesn't mean you can believe it.

About Me
- Momlady
- I live in a log cabin in North Georgia. I have crafter's ADD so I do many things such as knitting, quilting, basketry, and making jewelry. Some of it actually sells. Otherwise I spend a lot of time with my daughter (she introduced me to the world of blogging). I am an older woman (not OLD) who is crotchety, sometimes abrasive, and truthful 99.5% of the time. I like to travel and, if ever given the opportunity, would love to see more of this country, even though I've already seen quite a bit.
Oh, my...a visitor!

I'm glad that I live where we can use electric heat and the cost isn't too bad. I have a fireplace, but the cost of wood here isn't low enough to make it worthwhile. I only use it from time to time.
I have gas heat, Momlady, and love it. We keep the house at about 68, so we can still have a fire for the ambiance, and sometimes it just gets too warm. It's heating up down here, in the 60s today, so I hope you get some relief from the cold, too.
Unfortunately the fire in a fireplace sends the heat mostly up the chimney. Nice to look at though and does supply some warmth. Looking forward to the temperatures rising in the near future. Glad you came by HJ and Baby Sis.
