We had one put in about 2 1/2 years ago and it works really good for us. Living in N.E. NE. there are usually about 2 months where we just turn it off and switch to propane since it is not efficient/too much hassle. We have a propane backup and when it automatically cycles between the heat pump and the propane the difference in BTU's is uncomfortable. The propane heat is hotter, so when the t-stat is set on 73 degrees it is comfortable/warm. however when running the heat pump the comfortable temp is 75 or 76(depends who you ask). This may be because ours is an older furnace, poor airflow design, or just the BTU difference in the 2 different heats.
As far as saving money I can't be sure if we save or just change who we pay. Our first year in this house we used about 1100 gallons of propane. That summer the central air went out and we put in the heat pump, and by using the heat pump in the fall and spring we only used about 300 gallons the next winter, however it was a more mild winter too.

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
