Cost analysis
May 8, 2026
Over the past four months our natural gas usage has been $405 less than average users in my utility area according to our local power company. The electricity usage has been $244 more. I suppose that's a good sign because I'm ahead of the average between the two by $121. I believe the increased electricity costs may be attributed to the fan on the new accompanying heat pump running more than I expected it would. We are new to the heat pump world so perhaps these figures are what one would expect.

Works lot better than my 30 yr old furnace.
Wish I had my original 22 year old furnace back.
April 27, 2026
Had my furnace just over a year, and paid more to fix it than all the maintenance cost combined on the 22 year old unit it replaced. The fan is also very loud. Wish I would have kept my old unit, but thought upgrading was the best thing to do because if the age of the unit and changes coming due to the new refrigerant. I was wrong.
Excellent!
