Even when you account for the actual cost of heating, not just initial investment?
- endisneigh 5y agoit's really tricky to calculate. heat pumps generally require more skilled labor to install compared to gas heat. maintenance for heat pumps is also more expensive as more electrical parts are necessary. however actually running pump given a certain amount of BTUs in an insulated space is much cheaper than using gas. given a cheap electricity source and increasing gas prices I'd say in the long term a heat pump is cheaper.
