Allan.........enough is enough

From a cost study I did seveal years ago:
natrual gas:$.34/btu/hr
Heat pump= $.44/btu/hr (45º design or geothermal)
LP $.88btu/hr
Electric heat= $2.34/btu/hr

Although the above is not a direct conversion for your project, it's close enough to call the ball game.

A kilo watt is a kilo watt. Don't matter if it's at 115v or 230v for energy usage calc's . Watts is how electric usage is calculated.

Glad to hear it; ya shouldn't have to work in the cold as old as you are. He, he , he. :>) (Just kiddin' ya)

Hey! Just be sure to hook it up 220. Plug 'er in at 110 and it will eat you alive.

It was 60 here today; spent the whole afternoon at a dealers lot tractor shopping and really, really had a good time.

Now my hands are used to that kind of cold. I never even wear any thing thiker than just brown jersey gloves. No matter how cold it is.

This poor guy was in pain. He had more clothing on than any one I have ever seen and he was still froze.

He was jumping around trying to keep his feet warm. Saying " Cripes how the heck do you people live here! this is the coldest I have ever been in my life."

I just said. " What? this is not too bad. Give it another week or so and see what -60 is like. This is just a little crunchie cold now.

On the other side I have been if Geogia and South Carolina when it was 110 deg with real humidity. No thanks. I will stay here.

Temp was above freezing, but that cold wet wind coming in off that ocean was just absolutely miserable.
