Andy, 15 years ago, I turned off my gas furnace and installed electric baseboard heat in each room with thermostat in every room in my 2000+ home. It was very cheap to install. I've never had a repair bill in 15 years, never replaced an air filter either.
Tax included, I pay electric company $145 a month, sales tax included, fixed bill for 12 months, not average bill.
The real question is how much longer will it be until you have a major expense of replacing your system. I'll bet anyone, my baseboards will last as long as I'm alive.
31 years ago I installed electric baseboard heat in a rental. I've never had the first repair. How many heat pumps will go for 31 years, no repairs, no replacement?
Some say HPs will pay for themselves in X number of years, but they don't include repairs, replacement, service calls, service contracts, interest costs are, or what they could get back if they put the same money in the stock market for the same number of years.
I'm not a fan of HPs. I'm not a fan of cold heat source either. I'm not a fan that HPs only last 15-20 years before I have to pay big bucks to replace them. I like having each room the temp I want. I don't like the heat loss in duct work. I don't like the idea I have to put electricity in the blower motor to move the air. I don't like the idea of replacing blower every 7-10 years because blower motor doesn't have no place to oil bearings. And when you really need the hp to carry the load in the coldest part of the winter, THEY DON'T WORK, THEY GO TO BACK UP HEAT SOURCE.
