Looking at my electric bill, I'm also using significantly less energy with this heat pump than I was with my AC. I understand that the bill will be higher in the winter due to the increased usage, but my gas bill will be lower too, so it's a bit of a wash. Honestly, I'll take the savings as is. I won't say that heat pump is great for everyone, but for me I'm feeling good about my particular choice. Oh yeah, and for my fellow Canadians, fuck Reliance.
