Hi Kent, You might also get your utility to pay for part of the extra cost. Alot of Utilitys do that now days. Me, the new houses are very air tight and feels stuffy. I would add intake air vent(s) at the wall bottom with a damper (for air control) and filter (dust control) on the prevailing wind wall then add a high up exhaust vent towards the cieling on the opposite side again with a damper and filter. This way you get free cross air ventalation (no fan no utility cost) and better than a window as the air is filtered. A 6" wall is more structual sound than a 4" wall. Alot of building codes won't allow for a 4" wall if the utility company been pushing the energy savings. Natural Gas heat is the cheapest. A ground source HP is next as well gives you refrigeration. I think your in too cold of a climate to use a air over HP unit, 20º to 45º. Do not use electric strip heating as it's too costly, typicaly about 8 times the utility cost. Only by a unit with a scroll compressor as it will last a very long time vs a piston compressor. Never buy a radial compressor for any thing (worthless junk). T_Bone
