Massey, I think you are biased against me. This is the last time I will respond to you. Hope you will do the same. My brick home is over 2200 ft, with basement, plus a 24x24 attached garage which is not figured in to the 2200. I keep the finished garage at 50 to melt the snow and keep garage dry. My Anderson casements in garage are opened a crack open for drying purposes. Basement says around 50 in winter without any heat. I only use basement for washer/dryer, pool table, bowling alley, pin ball, storage, old gas furnace which is air handler for A/C. Each room upstairs has it own baseboard heater. My house is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath. I keep the rooms I don't use at 60 unless grandkids come over. The other rooms I keep at a comfortable temp. I like the master bedroom at 65. So each room has it's own temp.
Older people with heart problems like much warmer temps. That's why the man with a geo hates his unit. 85 degrees coming out of a register has a chill factor he doesn't like.
So, you can understand. If I use $223 worth of electricity, my friend uses $225 of electricity for the same period of time, we are 3 miles apart, we are using about the same number of Therms to heat our places, even though his house is smaller and is a double wide trailer.
The month before, we had record setting low temps, my electric bill was only $90 more. His electric bill was double with the heat pump running.
Please read the second post above. I will still stand on what I said, where I live, AIR TO AIR HEAT PUMPS DON'T WORK WHEN YOU NEED THEM THE MOST IN SUB ZERO TEMPS. The article will tell you the same thing.
I also question the accuracy of the COP and SEER numbers. 14 years ago I bought a new A/C it has SEER rating of 12, about the best at the time. The selling point for me was it had an expansion valve and pressure limit switches. However, the 12 SEER didn't factor in the blower motor. Kind of like Briggs over rating the horsepower rating.
No disrespect intended, but this is the very last time I will ever respond to your posts. So hammer away at me if it makes you feel like a better person. George

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
